Prices of bottles, cases, boxes and wine labels go through the roof

Prices of bottles, cases, boxes and wine labels go through the roof

The situation is unprecedented. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a surge in energy prices that is being passed on at breakneck speed and at unrivalled levels to costs of industry supplies across-the-board. The relentless increase in the price of dry goods already hit the headlines a few months ago, due to the post-Covid rebound in global demand at the beginning of 2021, but with the arrival of spring 2022, the hike seems to have worsened. Price lists all increased at once on April 1. With such sudden variations in prices and availability, “we live from day to day”, says Philippe Cazaux, director of the Bordeaux Families co-operative group, which farms 5,000 hectares of vines, has 300 member growers and represents 10% of AOC Bordeaux. He sums up the current situation: “We are extending deadlines and increasing costs: the people organising the bottling have turned into raw material suppliers”. In fact, with bottling comes a sigh of a relief, because it means that all the different strands have been successfully brought together, which can be challenging for some bottles and labels.

Flint glass bottles cause white wine aroma identity degradation

Flint glass bottles cause white wine aroma identity degradation

Abstract
Due to marketing recommendations, white wines are often bottled in flint glass to improve aesthetics and showcase wine color. Although this practice is known to cause a wine fault, the influence of light on the fruity and flowery aromatic profile of wine is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes to the white wine volatilome under typical supermarket shelf conditions, using 1,052 bottles of 24 white wines.

Can corks make wine more astringent?

Wine closures is a boring topic. However, I must admit that the heading “Do Agglomerate Corks Make Wines Astringent”, published in Meininger’s Wine Business International, aroused my interest.

The Long Game Of The Champagne Cork

The Long Game Of The Champagne Cork

When I was eight years old, I foraged dinner parties collecting wine stoppers.Tiny totems of adulthood, along with Carr’s water crackers, crudités and ambient R&B, my collection was vast in quantity and quality. I loved discoloration, malformation and pungent scents, but most of all, I loved those mushroom-head champagne corks.

How big of an issue is cork taint really?

How big of an issue is cork taint really?

I always find it curious that winemakers spend so much time, effort, and money to make the best wine that they possibly can. Then, in the very last step, many ruin a substantial percentage of the bottles by using a closure with a high failure rate.

Glass bottle shortage major concern for French wine producers

Among the challenges facing French wine producers right now is finding enough glass to bottle their 2022 vintage – and it’s becoming so bad that some want the government to step in.

Are lighter bottles in sight?

It’s now an established fact that making and transporting glass bottles are the biggest components in wine’s carbon footprint. An international group of retailers have been researching how to reduce this most effectively and are making real progress.
