videoCan You Judge Wine By The Bottle?
They say don't judge a book by its cover, but when you're staring at a wall of wine bottles about to spend $20-$150, what else can you do? Today, we're testing if cool packaging actually means good wine. The Challenge: Six wines, all with interesting or "dynamic" packaging. We taste them blind first, then reveal the bottles to see if the packaging matches the quality inside. The Premise: Wine shopping is risky. You can't flip through the pages. You read labels, feel the weight, talk to the staff, but ultimately you're judging by the bottle. Does packaging predict quality? What We Found: Some cool bottles = great wine Some cool bottles = disappointing wine Some boring bottles = excellent wine One $150 bottle looked like a clean skin Clear bottles, artist collaborations, metallic labels, traditional designs - none of it guaranteed quality The Verdict: Packaging doesn't predict quality. The coolest bottles don't always have the best wine. The most boring bottles can hide gems. The T

TTB and Consignment Sales – Is There a Disconnect Between Policy Development and Business Reality?
Last Friday, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), U.S. Treasury Department, introduced more confusion in its five years of aggressive unfair trade practice enforcement around the country. TTB issued Industry Circular 2022-1, Payment Terms Under Consignment Sales Provision, under the guise of providing guidance and clarification.
