This weekly roundup curates intriguing wine stories from across the web. Climate change is a prominent concern, already impacting California’s wine regions and testing grape resilience like Mourvèdre, alongside discussions on extreme heat’s effect on alcohol.
The collection highlights emerging wine destinations such as Peru and Japan’s Yoichi, Hokkaido. Industry commentary questions if Michelin will „ruin“ wine as it did food and ponders the importance of tasting notes. Human interest stories include brave Ukrainian winemakers on the frontline and a tribute to the late actor-winemaker Sam Neill. Also covered are the effects of weight loss trends on wine consumption and a US-Canada alcohol trade dispute.
