‘Don’t filter your wine. Filter your customers.’ This is clearly the most valuable bit of advice received by artist Fabrice Domercq, since he quoted it to me each time we met recently – once at a tasting of his no-additive wines organised by their UK importer Dynamic Vines (see above) and then at a subsequent meeting I arranged because I was so intrigued by his story and its relevance to Bordeaux’s current crisis whereby all but the top layer of châteaux are running at a loss because demand for basic bordeaux has fallen to such an extent. The French government recently agreed to pay growers to distill surplus wine into alcohol and to pull out vines in uneconomic locations.

Light beer is everywhere. Now, so is light wine.

Wines with lower-than-usual alcohol levels are booming, fueled by a growing interest in wellness trends. Powerful wine companies like Kendall-Jackson, Bota Box and Cupcake have found swift success with these products, which tend to clock 8%-9% alcohol by volume and 80-85 calories per glass. (A regular table wine might be 12%-14% ABV and 120-125 calories.)

The grapes we grow for wine don’t technically need bees. In fact, the cultivated “common” grapevine, known as the Vitis vinifera, is hermaphroditic, meaning it possesses flowers with functional pistils (which act as ovaries) and stamens (which produce pollen), allowing these vines to self-pollinate.

If you search in Google for “countries without a wine culture,” it returns an entry for “What countries are dry?”: “Pakistan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Mauritania, Libya, the Maldives, Iran, Kuwait, Brunei, and Bangladesh […] have alcohol bans, as do some states in India.” This, of course, was not my question. My concern was places where the indigenous culture overwhelmingly favours consumption of other kinds of alcohol than wine. I do not expect the modern wine industry to have actively marketed in Brunei or Mauritania in the past.

VPD — or Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter — is a group of about 200 German wine producers who act independently from the German Wine Act. Generally speaking, before 2021, the country’s wine law classified its PDO (protected designations of origin) wines into two fundamental levels: Qualitätswein and Prädikatswein, the latter of which further subdivides into six categories depending on sweetness level. These levels provide a good indication of style for consumers perusing bottles on the shelf. However, they don’t reveal quality, which is where the VDP wine classification system comes in. Since its inception in 1910, the VDP has been defining the quality of wine according to origin — essentially, classifying vineyards by identifying micro-terroir.
