Ending the Aesthetic Fallacy of Heavy Bottles
Wine producers the world over invest in unusually thick, heavy wine bottles for the sake of impressive brand aesthetics. But thanks to their weight, these bottles (and their transportation around the world) represent the single largest portion of the wine industry's carbon footprint and contribution to global warming.

To Attract More Drinkers, Wine Needs Clearer Labels
For all the hand-wringing among marketers about how to get Millennials and Generation Z more interested in wine, most wineries are still ignoring the most obvious, simple way to attract engaged consumers: clearer education and transparency through labeling.

There are certain traditions that happen when a nice bottle of wine is opened. The flick of a wine opener, the swirl of a decanter. Oenophiles ceremoniously pouring wine into their carefully cared for ‘good glasses’: pricey, whisper-thin glasses blown by hand.

Coravin Model Five/Six vs the Model Two 21 December 2020 19:12 |

Coravin Model Five/Six vs the Model Two
I’ve been using the Coravin system profusely for a few years now. While I don’t own a wine bar or a winery (two of the best use cases), it serves me exceedingly well to taste samples without having to toss the bottles afterwards as well as aiding in blind tasting practice for myself or setting them up for others. I’ve written about the various uses at great length previously so I won’t get into it any deeper other than to say it’s a very useful little device for anyone from the top wine professionals through to the casual drinkers and everyone in between.

Something often overlooked in tasting books or even tasting classes is basic instruction on how best to pick up a glass of wine and, for lack of a better term, address it. Further, the value of discovering the best angle to hold the glass and smelling techniques to get the most out of a wine’s aromas is not often emphasized enough.

Alcohol on labels – how accurate? 08 March 2021 19:17 |

Alcohol on labels – how accurate?
Alcohol may be what distinguishes wine from fruit juice, but many wine drinkers seem pretty wary of it these days. A recent global study by leading specialist researchers Wine Intelligence found that 40% of regular wine drinkers reported that they are actively seeking to moderate their alcohol consumption. But since hotter summers encourage the build-up of sugar in grapes, which yeast converts to ethanol, alcohol levels have been rising relentlessly. Wines of at least 14% alcohol by volume (abv) have become increasingly common.

The Whisper Of Umami
I chip into the hard yellow wax over the cork and it shatters; a frustrating rain over my station. Domaine Raveneau’s 2008 Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons is initially tight, mineral and austere, yet full of subtle power. Then I notice the background hum of glutamates; like spoor on a trail to an experienced eye, there was something about the palate weight that was whispering umami.
