Inflation, Urkaine: Is it time to rethink wine strategies?
North Bay Business Journal
We’re all now familiar with the consequences of supply chain issues that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Virtually every industry in the global market has been affected, and wine is no exception. While the industry is normally fairly well-positioned to adapt to volatility, the current landscape of pandemic consequences and the crisis in Ukraine is creating a perfect storm of factors that deserve some thoughtful consideration.

Why is proof double the percentage of alcohol?
VinePair
While browsing the shelves of your local liquor store, you’ll likely encounter one of two methods used to measure how much alcohol content a bottle has. The first is alcohol by volume, or ABV, which is likely to be the measurement you’re most familiar with — it explicitly tells you the percentage of alcohol present in the liquid.

How Russia's war on Ukraine threatens decades of winemaking progress
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, the war has caused incomprehensible losses: millions of displaced citizens, thousands of dead and wounded, as well as the destruction of untold buildings and houses, to say nothing of entire cities and towns. Another victim is Ukraine’s wine culture, which has blossomed in recent years after decades of neglect — and intentional destruction — under the Soviet Union.

Why organic wine might not be chemical-free
Mashed
If you pick up a bottle of organic wine at your favorite wine and spirits store, you might naturally assume the wine is free from all chemicals and that no pesticides or other suspect compounds were used in the growing of that wine's grapes. However, that's not always the case. There are exceptions, and it all comes down to how you define "organic."

Will climate change help hybrid grapes take root in the US wine industry?
Civil Eats
In his almost 50 years in the wine industry, J. Stephen Casscles has watched the weather in New York’s Hudson Valley become wetter, hotter and more humid — the perfect environment for fungal diseases and pests to thrive. Facing everything from black rot and downy mildew to stink bugs and spotted lanternflies — invasive insects that feed on plant sap — winegrowers across the region have been more frequently and liberally applying pesticides and fungicides, including the copper-based alternatives used in organic viticulture.

To really understand a region's terroir, try some multi-fruit wine
VinePair
When most of us think about fine wine, we think about what you get when you grow, harvest, crush, ferment and age wine grapes. But for the overwhelming majority of history, the thing you’d get if you asked for wine would in some way be altered — perhaps watered down, fortified, or infused with other fruits.

20 different types of sparkling wines explained
Tasting Table
Bubbly, fizz, sparkling wine — it all makes the same explosive (albeit, celebratory) sound when you pop a bottle. Despite the vast selection of styles, we often think of Champagne and Prosecco as the only contenders. You might know a few others, but can you name 20 off the top of your head?

Champagne stash discovered in World War I shipwreck remains out of reach … for now
Wine Spectator
As seafaring cargo, wine has been known to go down with the ship when disaster strikes. Such was the fate of a cache of bottles aboard the S.S. Libourne, a British steamer sunk by a German U-boat on Sept. 29, 1918, killing three members of the crew.
The Libourne remained lost off Britain’s southern coast until 2015, when it was discovered by 10994, a team consisting of naval historian and writer Ian Hudson, marine engineer Daniel Jayson and diver Luc Heymans, among others.

Monsoon rain fuels the Arizona wine industry
KPHO-TV
While we all await those first summer storms, no one is banking on that rain more than Arizona farmers. That’s the case in Wilcox, where 80% of Arizona’s wine grapes are grown.
Winemaker Robert Carlson admits that while the rain is needed, the monsoon can be a double-edged sword. “One of the major things it adds is uncertainty,” said Carlson.
