“Good wine transports as it refreshes, It’s an invitation to visit other cultures and worlds, to learn about history and geology, agriculture and environmentalism. Aged wine offers a journey through time. It can be a gateway to philosophy and to contemplation.” -Eric Asimov This quote reflects the unique nature of wine as a beverage which brings people together and makes life better. There are dozens more quotes in The Magic of Wine section of WineAmerica’s website, along with information about wine’s agricultural roots, economic impact, fun facts, and much more. https://lnkd.in/eWuTNBkq

For our Wine Wisdom Wednesday of the week, it's intriguing to consider the complexities of our relationship with science over the past century! 🔄 💼👨🔬 As Professor Scienza says, despite its invaluable contributions to viticulture and winemaking, the rapid pace of technological advancement has also brought about significant imbalances, the repercussions of which are not easily absorbed in the short term. As we gather to celebrate wine and wisdom, let's reflect on the interplay between science and society, striving to embrace progress while maintaining a thoughtful approach to its implications. 💭 #winelearning #bookstagram #italianwine #italianwinelearn #learnitalian #learnwine

Today an post of my privat passion "Yesterday a blessing, today a curse" A study about the climate resilience of wine regions in Europe, such an incredible collection of data. The European system of geographical indications, for a long time a blessing for Europe's wine industry, will become a disadvantage for certain regions over the years: Climate change, the sensitivity of a region and its ability to adapt, the regulations only provide for a few grape varieties for a designated area, winegrowers have little room for manoeuvre if they want to retain the protected designation of origin. Take a look to the open web map: https://winemap.eurac.edu/ Simon Tscholl, researcher at the #Eurac Institute Alpine Environment, is co-author of the study : In conclusion, the study suggests that the strict EU system of geographical indications should respond to the changed conditions - in terms of greater flexibility in variety selection and cultivation techniques as well as in the provision of necessary resources

Burgundy 🍷 The investment benefits: - World class wine - Low production quantities - Massive demand The problem: - One case can cost as much as your average supercar The solution: - Co-invest from £3000 in a diversified basket of assets at a fraction of the cost of owning the underlying wines outright https://lnkd.in/db6C3hMW ⚠ Capital at risk

With the pending dropping of China tariffs on Australian wine, I am resharing this great piece by Master of Wines Phil Reedman MW we published a couple weeks ago. “We need to begin marketing to the world. The World. Not one market, but lots of markets concurrently. We know how good our wines are. Sadly, the world does not. Starved of proper funding, and an equitable distribution of funds to different markets, only one market, the one we no longer have, has had any meaningful attention in the last half a dozen years. In a previous life I was told by one of New Zealand’s biggest wineries that I couldn’t have more wine for the UK market because they had 42 other markets to look after. This is the place we need to get Australia to: too many markets, too little wine. It is time for a generational funding model to begin building a hill from which we can wave the Australian wine flag.” For a sector now in all worlds of pain, hopefully this is the restarting of Australian wine conquering the world, not just China. A statistic I heard last week is that with changing habits, China is now a third of the size it was pre-tariffs. A fitting time for an enhanced global strategy at an individual winery, region and sector level.
Thanks Phil Reedman MW for being last week's Think! guest writer, exploring how can the Australian wine industry be saved. A strategy is required. What strategy? "Few can deny that the Australian wine industry, our greatest piece of soft-diplomacy (Kylie excepted), is in a hole. No ordinary hole either, one of astonishing proportions. How do we get out of the hole and build a hill? How can the Australian wine industry be saved?" https://lnkd.in/gCY4N4QH
How to get out of a hole? First, stop digging.

This! Any Australians out there need to read and consider it carefully. First, lessons need to be learned from the last vine-pull when irreplaceable plots were ripped up. The European distillation model should be adopted - on a one-off basis And Australia has to look beyond China, UK and US, all of which, for their own reasons, hold limited prospects China is now consuming half as much as in 2012 and France and Chile have climbed into the part of the (now far-smaller) bed Australia previously occupied. They won't be easy to shift. And the baijiu producers will continue to keep wine down. The post-Brexit UK economy is - and will remain - a basket case where selling premium/super-premium wine is a struggle In the US, it is foolish to imagine that US distributors are ever going to want to help premium / super-premium Cabernet and Chardonnay that competes with the ones being made by their own domestic industries (And, don't forget that the Donald has threatened a 10% tariff on ALL imports) So, as Phil says, look at the scores of other markets. It will take a lot more work - by individual wineries. But it's a far wiser strategy than any we can see right now
