Spanish wine in numbers
When writing about why the wines of Spain have lacked fame, I made mention that for 2021, Spain produced the second-largest amount of wine in the world of any country.

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.

Flicking through the fourth edition of The Oxford Companion to Wine (OCW) I came across a word that neither I nor my Google spell-checker were familiar with: ‘homoclime’. It is a geographical term meaning ‘a similar climate’.
