One that never leaves the winery.

Last week, I walked out of my office on my way to the mezzanine level of our cellar, on which we keep a few cases of each of our bottled-but-not-yet-released wines. I was looking for samples of our 2022 Patelin de Tablas Rosé, 2022 Dianthus, and 2022 Vermentino, to write tasting notes for our website in anticipation of the wines' release announcements.

There was only one “wine” in the beginning. This is no surprise considering that people began drinking fermented grape juice around 6000 B.C., long before other concepts such as “varietal,” terroir, and “oaky end” became mainstream.

This exercise should end my recent preoccupation with ChatGPT, the hugely popular Artificial Intelligence (AI) program meant principally for customer-service dialogue but raising concerns that it also could be exploited to create unoriginal and uncredited term papers, articles, poems, songs and the like.

Since 2011, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers (FIC) exempted alcoholic beverages above 1.2% abv from the mandatory list of ingredients and the nutrition declaration. In 2017, the European Commission invited the alcohol beverages industry to respond to consumers’ expectations and to present, within a year, a proposal of self-regulation on ingredients and nutritional information covering the whole sector.

The Business Journal asked key professionals about what’s hot for wine packaging design, particularly how a global movement by governments and consumers toward environmental sustainability is affecting vintner decisions on container materials.

How has wine packaging evolved to meet environmental goals? How has the balance between ideal and feasibility been pursued?

The term ‘flinty’ may not be terribly familiar to the average wine drinker. An uncommon terroir profile note found in many white wines has significant contributions, although imbibers may have a hard time describing it outside of the usual fruit aromas.

Rob Malin was inspired to found Anglo-Italian craft wine company When In Rome during his time in rural Italy, watching the locals buy wine from local producers in refillable containers. Now he and his co-founders, Andrea Marchesi and Lorenzo Canali, sell their own products in paper bottles. We spoke to Rob about this decision and its reflection on the wine industry in Europe and beyond.

In the space of a couple of weeks, the JancisRobinson.com editorial inbox received three emails on the subject of tasting notes. One reader said, ‘I’m a great fan of JR and the website but, whilst I’m certainly not questioning her palate, Tamlyn has to be taking the mickey out of us with some of her tasting notes in the champagne article.’ He was particularly offended by the way I described a wine’s acidity by its shape.

I saw that one of the questions posed to aspiring Master of Wine candidates in the exams at the end of the first year of study concerned my profession. ‘Does anyone still need wine writers?’ it asked. Rather than a one word answer, an essay is required. I thought I’d write my own essay on the topic.

If you're a wine lover, you might have heard that the choice of shapes of wine glasses makes a difference. If you're a doubting Thomas, all I can say is this: It is true. Certain types of wines taste better in certain types of glasses.

This is one of the few Bugatti products you might be able to afford.

As fans of the outrageous Bugatti Bolide and the odd bottle of French wine, this is a brand collaboration we can get behind. French hypercar manufacturer Bugatti and Champagne Carbon, also a product of France in the Grand Est region have teamed up for a new bottle of vino (this is not their first) dubbed the EB.03 Bolide that comes in a beautiful two-tone blue and black carbon fiber wrapped bottle.

The branding move here comes just in time for Bugatti's 110th birthday too, meaning plenty of this stuff will be popped and consumed at celebrations around the elite automotive world. And since the Bolide is the pinnacle of Bugatti engineering and design, the bottle for the EB.03 tries aims to emulate just that in a real carbon fiber collectible.

Think Picasso, Dali, Chagall, Warhol, Niki de Saint Phalle, Bernar Venet and Keith Haring, whose artworks feature on the labels of a Bordeaux first-growth wine, a classification reserved for only the best of the best. The brainchild of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who inherited Château Mouton Rothschild in 1922 – after his great-grandfather Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild acquired the Pauillac estate of Brane-Mouton at auction in 1853 and added the family name to it – he turned age-old tradition on its head and spearheaded a revolution in the wine world. While the wine from every vineyard in the Médoc had always been sold in casks to Bordeaux merchants in charge of maturing, bottling, labeling and marketing, leaving the owner with no rights over the end product, Baron Philippe introduced the ground-breaking idea in 1924 of bottling the complete harvest before it left the estate, transferring responsibility back to the owner.

Wine can be tricky to understand, especially when it comes to the various features of a wine bottle and the purposes that they serve. A battle between function, tradition, and aesthetic, the top of your wine bottle is no exception. Forbes notes that roughly 60% of wines are sealed with a cork, meaning most bottlenecks are covered with a sleeve. But, what's the point of the foil wrapper?

But today we are seeing more and more wines bottled without them.
