It often seems that prices go up, rarely down. Here's an example of wine bottles.

I love this innovative idea for reaching a Generation Z audience, with red and rose wine-based drinks by the Cellier des Demoiselles, in cooperation with beer brewer @LaGorgeFraiche.
Disruptive, la coopérative des Corbières Cellier des Demoiselles s'est associée à une brasserie de Béziers pour composer deux boissons à base de vins répondant à tous les codes de la bière, de l'élaboration à l'habillage

“As @LizGabayMW explains, there is a wealth of smaller family estates producing good quantities of red and white wines close to the hearts of the region’s vignerons,” via @quench_mag #Provence #wine quench.me/longform/the-red-w…
Moving to lighter bottles has saved @TablasCreek $2.2 million in 14 years - and helped the environment. For a detailed analysis, see tablascreek.typepad.com/tabl…
I love David Gluckman's article on no-alcohol mixers. His conclusions on the high pricing do not surprise me.
Super-premium mixers rather than faux spirits – that’s the way producers should be approaching Low & No Alcohol drinks. So says Drinks inventor David Gluckman (Baileys) who thinks customers are being ripped off. Read his fascinating insight.

One small step for wine, one giant leap for Slovakia. This was the message from The World of Slovak Wine tasting this month – the UK’s first one devoted to the region. Sommeliers, indies and consultants all raved about what they found. Click the-buyer.net/tasting/wine/w… @LizGabayMW
Sen is a joint project between Liz, our son @BenBernheim and Vladimir Magula of @VinoMagula. Well done all for an innovative and interesting rosé wine.
Lovely couple of films by Mike @BinTwoPadstow on Sen - which means Dream in Slovak
This question about the amount of field blends today has stimulated a healthy discussion.
Anyone have any idea of the amount of field blend wines are made? Is it largely from old vineyards, are new vineyards being planted with a mix of red and white grapes?

Japan wants people to drink more alcohol. Because alcohol consumption is good? No, to boost falling tax revenue!

Elizabeth Gabay MW writes about becoming a specialist in rosé and how she and Ben Bernheim wrote their new book "The Rosés of Southern France". Available from Amazon amzn.to/3zazjR5
ANNOUNCING: important new book about the #Rosés of Southern #France by @LizGabayMW & Ben Bernheim "This is a handbook for trade, sommeliers, & consumers. We'd love to see - muddy fingerprints, wine glass stains, & notes written in the margin."

**Now available** Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim's latest book, with all about the "Rosés of Southern France" in a practical colour paperback. Available from Amazon (amzn.to/3zazjR5).
Using beer bottles from a shipwreck to discover lost strains of yeast for making beer. Neat idea!

Would you want your drink served by a robot bartender? Not me! And you?
Makes me think of coffee - how many cafés serve coffee from vending machines? Soulless canteens maybe...

Pandemic-stretched supply lines reach wine labels in Napa and disrupt supply: "Without paper, there are no labels, and with no labels on the bottles, there is no wine."

I absolutely agree with David. Getting statistics, say for a serious article, is like getting blood from a stone. Could holding on to data be a way of trying to keep power?
Been seeing this meme a lot lately, and figured I should make my own. #winedata
Having been in the wine industry now for ~13 years I’ve felt this way for a while.
Thankful that it’s slowly changing. #datadatadata
Good news for growing coffee in Sicily = bad news for grape vines there.

One more #Brexit dividend: car sticker change "from GB to UK symbolises our unity as a nation and is part of a wider move towards using the UK signifier across government." Trying to patch over the splitting unity? bbc.com/news/business-587342…

“The $170 wine doesn’t have to sell in very high quantities – just by existing, it has established rosé as a category that can charge high prices.”
Another good article from @robertjoseph
