In this trial, the same wine was bottled using fourteen different closures, including this one – the tin/saran-lined screwcap. The significance of this trial? In the years that followed, the different bottles were repeatedly analysed by sensory and analytic methods.

As the recent online survey on the excellent Dr Vino blog has demonstrated rather well (IMHO), it’s very hard to pick one single person who deserves to win this award.

In a collision of two of the last decade’s most absurd wine trends, celebrity wines and critter labels collide in the form of a new Hello Kitty line of wines. Is this wine targeting minors, adding fuel to the fire of distributors who play the underage drinking card in the direct shipping debate? The wine’s marketer told LA Weekly :...
Robert Parker states that his publication, The Wine Advocate, purchases “more than 60%” of the wines that it reviews.

However, many...

How often is the alcohol level stated on the label consistent with what is actually in the bottle? Wines are allowed a certain fudge factor between what appears on the label and what is actually in the bottle. For wines under 14%, the wine can fluctuate by 1.5 percentage points, which explains why so many wines have traditionally been labeled...
