But on Monday the 27th of May the roles were changed when Scandinavian wines were presented in Piedmont during a seminar held for the Master in Wine students at UNISG in Pollenzo.

The Rioja region of Spain is known for red wines that are fruity and tannic, most notably tempranillo, Spain's king of grapes. (Roughly 75 percent of the grapes grown in the region are tempranillo.) Wines from the region are often a great value. Many of them over-deliver on taste compared to the price, which is why I always make a bee-line for the Spanish section when I'm on one of my &

Apart from producing some of the finest wines in the world, the Loire Valley is a wine region that is hugely complex, diverse and actually quite confusing! Following the course of France’s longest river, the Loire as a wine region covers five major regions, 95 appellations with countless communes, grape varieties, styles of wines and soil types. Of all the regions Central-Loire is arguably the le

Sales of sweet wine began dipping about 20 years ago, just at the wrong time for the wines of Tokaj. This famed wine producing region of Hungary used to provide wines to grace the tables of the kings and queens of Europe, reputedly a favourite of the Sun King himself, Louis XIV. Next year will mark 100 years since the damaging Treaty of Trianon, followed by a 20th century of political strife, but

Eén of twee weken geleden was er een programma op de TV met een Franse wijnboer. Hij had 4,5 Ha - niet in - maar onder glas staan. Ook een dakje dus. Ook tegen meeldauw. Eén van de tientallen aanvallen op de druif. Daarnaast had hij een kas, ook van 4,5 Ha. Daarin de traditionele Bordeaux druiven. De kas was verboden gebied op een paar mensen na.

In the past, Eurostar hasn't limited the amount of alcohol it allows onboard its trains. New regulations, however, are causing an outcry because Eurostar is now restricting passengers to either one bottle of wine per person or 4 bottles/cans of beer. No large bottles of spirits are allowed at all. The ban affects trains traveling between Britain and Continental Europe.

Jennifer Ladonne steps into the mysterious world of the monks and nuns still making wine in France
Though scientists debate whether it was the Etruscans or the Greeks who introduced wine and winemaking to France, there’s no doubt to whom we owe the beverage of today. Monks, and nuns, were key in both the preservation and advancement of viticulture, and although only a handful of French monaste

Winemakers often regard their wines in much the same way they do their children. People outside the family circle can delight in them, speak of their beauty, marvel at their positive qualities, but criticise them at your peril. If you’re in the business of wine commentary you often have winemakers asking you what you think of their wines. This is a minefield, so it’s necessary to develop some lan

Many countries produce wine, while many don't; and many countries consume wine, while many don't. Since the places of production and consumption are not always the same, there is a lot of wine movement around the globe (see the post on Where does all of this wine come from and go to?).

During the 18th century French Revolution, disgruntled citizens shook pitchforks and oohed with fascination at an invention called the guillotine; they extracted their wrath on wigged and heeled members of the aristocracy, considering them out of touch with their peasant subjects. In 1793, near the base of the Pyrenees peaks in southern France, a band of rebels from the town of Lescar mobbed a ch

Oxidative and reductive are terms used to describe two contrasting styles of vinification. The processes are ideologically and scientifically opposed, and each has a profound impact on the aromas, flavors, and texture of wine.

Fruit thinning, green harvest, restricted yield, whichever name it may go by there are few canards as distinctly pervasive as yield restriction. Across Europe, the belief that yield restriction is directly correlated with amplified wine ‘quality’ is so widely held that one can almost predict the nature of questioning at any tasting, visit or seminar.
