podcast· 44:08· S1E183WTF is Cinsault?
Summer is almost over, but we found a great end of the summer wine that is chillable, quaffable, and easy drinking. In fact, this may be the wine that convinces your non-wine drinking friends that wine can be awesome. Most often used as a blending grape to add fruity aromas and softness to more tannic wines, on its own, Cinsault is a light, fruity, thoroughly enjoyable wine that belongs on your wine list. Perfect for cookouts and parties! Cinsault is also a wine known by many different names and is grown all over the world, and you probably have had it more than you know because of how often it is blended into red wine. And, evidently, if you are a big escargot fan, this is the wine for you! We also have a great conversation with one of our listeners, and we talk about the end of the controversy over the foil on Champagne wine bottles - and we bet you didn’t know there was a controversy about it. We also, unfortunately, ran into another corked wine in our tasting portion of the episode

Chestnut Brandy Alexander
I know that Brandy Alexanders were a big hit on the dinner table in the 20's when dessert cocktails were a bit more simple-minded, and sipping on a milky nightcap was a classy way to wrap up a meal. But with the rise of the craft cocktail, this vintage after-dinner treat has fallen out of fashion, and it has fast turned into the ultimate retro cocktail.

podcast· 50:03· Ep 449Wine Industry at a Crossroads: Changing Tastes, AI, and Where the Money Goes
You can't speak of trends in the wine trends in the wine trade without mentioning Felicity Carter. You can't talk data mining in the wine trade without mentioning Felicity Carter...in fact, I can't think of many surrounding the wine trade that you could speak of without mentioning Felicity Carter. She is a force of date (substituting for "nature"). I've got to tell you, sitting down with Felicity Carter for this episode of Wine Talks was like uncorking an old Burgundy—layered, surprising, and deeply satisfying. There's something about Felicity's perspective that just sharpens the mind. Maybe it's because she's perched out there in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, on the wine road of the Rhineland Pfalz, right at the border with Alsace. Or maybe it's just down to the years she's logged at the intersection of writing, advisory work, and researching high-end wine trends. You know me—I love a guest who isn't afraid to press into the hard truths and then turn them over like a newly racked barrel
podcast· 3:56Pourquoi les fûts de bière de supermarchés n’ont rien d’un bon plan
Vous les avez vus traîner cet été dans les rayons de votre supermarché : ces fameux fûts de 5 litres, avec leur jolie petite pompe promettant de pouvoir s’offrir une bière pression à domicile. Ils ont l'air pratiques. Ils semblent cocher toutes les cases. Mais, côté prix, c’est une autre histoire. Dans de nombreuses catégories de produits, on connaît la règle : plus on achète en grande quantité, plus le prix au litre diminue. C'est logique, c'est mathématique, c'est même plutôt rassurant. Et c’est effectivement souvent le cas ; rapporté au litre, le prix d’une boisson vendue en grande bouteille de 2 litres, par exemple, est moins élevé que celui de la même boisson dans un format de 33 cl. Sauf qu'en matière de bière, la règle vole en éclats… Et nos fameux fûts de 5 litres en sont la parfaite illustration. Dans ce nouvel épisode de Parlons Vin, la journaliste Alicia Dorey vous parle de gros format, de calcul d’apothicaire et de petites arnaques au compte-goutte. Et n'oubliez pas : parlo
