Cover crop-based under-row dry mulching enhances phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbial biodiversity in a non-irrigated vineyard

In fuoristrada tra i filari di Hofstätter: dove il vino nasce davvero
Il fuoristrada si arrampica con un grugnito meccanico lungo i pendii di Tramin, lasciandosi alle spalle l’ordine geometrico del fondovalle. L’aria punge di resina e roccia calcarea, quell’odore tipico e severo delle valli altoatesine con la montagna padrona assoluta del disegno agricolo. Martin Foradori Hofstätter siede al volante con la sicurezza di chi conosce ogni […] L'articolo In fuoristrada tra i filari di Hofstätter: dove il vino nasce davvero proviene da La Stanza del vino .

Effects of inter-row cover crop termination strategy on grapevine performance and mycorrhizal activity under contrasting seasonal conditions
In a 2026 study published in Field Crops Research based on Mediterranean rainfed vineyards, the authors found that roller-crimping cover crops improved soil cover, vine water status, yield (in wetter conditions), and mycorrhizal colonization without affecting grape quality, while seasonal climate was the dominant driver of fungal diversity. Headline Findings: Methods: Results: Read the original...

🎧The Judgement of Paris 50 Years On
Fifty years on from the historic Paris tasting that revolutionised wine - what's changed? And what will that mean for the next 50 years?! Those are the searching questions we're asking (and attempting to answer) in this special episode to mark the 50th anniversary of the legendary Judgement of Paris tasting in 1976 where unknown Californian wines triumphed against the French greats in the centre of the wine universe at the time, the capital of France. We're re-telling the story behind that momentous event - partly to clear up some misconceptions that still persist, and partly because it's just a damn good story. (Proof of that being all the many articles and books on the subject - not to mention the Hollywood film, Bottle Shock, and now even an opera...) We're helped in this task by Chateau Montelena CEO Bo Barrett, who adds his eye-witness testimony, trademark good humour and intriguing insights to the tale. But this episode isn't just a re-hashing of events half a century ago. We're

🎧Pinot Grigio Is Boring. Alsace Pinot Gris Is Its Richer, Weirder French Cousin!
You may think you know Pinot Grigio, but do you know Pinot Gris? Pinot Gris is the same grape as Pinot Grigio, but in taste, body, and just about every other way that matters, they can feel worlds apart. And, on a very interesting side note, Pinot Gris is also a color mutation of Pinot Noir, but that’s another story. In this episode, we focus specifically on Pinot Gris from Alsace, France, a region famous for its white wines. And of all the white wines made there, Pinot Gris is one of the biggest and richest, which may surprise anyone whose idea of Pinot Grigio is something light, thin, and mostly harmless. This is not your grandma’s Italian Pinot Grigio. Alsace Pinot Gris can be big, rich, and high in alcohol, and people who love a fuller-bodied Chardonnay may find a lot to like. Surprise! In our tasting, we were struck by just how different these wines were from the Pinot Grigio most people know. Same grape. Very different experience. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2020 Pierre Sparr

TDN: quando l’idrocarburo diventa un problema. Il rischio di omologazione dei vini bianchi italiani
Il TDN (trimetildiidronaftalene), responsabile delle note di idrocarburo nei vini bianchi, è sempre più diffuso a causa di cambiamento climatico, eccessiva esposizione solare delle uve, affinamenti riduttivi e shock termici. Un fenomeno che rischia di omologare il profilo aromatico dei vini, allontanandoli dall’autentica espressione del vitigno e del territorio. L'articolo TDN: quando l’idrocarburo diventa un problema. Il rischio di omologazione dei vini bianchi italiani proviene da Wine Blog Roll - Il Blog del Vino Italiano .

Reports Suggest Sazerac in Talks With Brown-Forman Following Rumors of Pernod Merger
Weeks after news broke of discussions between Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman about a potential deal, Sazerac is allegedly throwing its hat in the ring.

videoWe are currently living through a cultural delusion
We are currently living through a cultural delusion. In the 1940s and 50s, cigarettes were so normalized that even doctors promoted them in advertisements. Today, we look back at those images with absolute shock and disbelief. I strongly believe that in two decades, we will look back on alcohol with that same level of disdain. We will ask ourselves, "What were we thinking?" as we realize we spent years glamorizing a substance.
