What Is Qvevri? The Ancient Clay Vessel Behind Georgia's Most Distinctive Wines
If you've read anything about Georgian wine, you've seen the word qvevri. It shows up everywhere — on wine labels, in tasting notes, in descriptions of how Georgia's most celebrated bottles are made.

Attis – Albariño 2025
It’s ironic to think that in our current age of wine that there are so many producers who want to “stick it to the man” and ditch their regional organizations in Europe. Clearly, there were sound reasons when it came to everyone of higher quality leaving Cava. And Collioure-Banyuls breaking off from Roussillon also made sense. But beyond these few, rational examples of groups, there remain a good number of individual producers who often say, “screw it” and go it alone. Artadi in Rioja comes immediately to mind as they […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

videoOrange Wine Explained: Simon Woolf on Amber Wine, Skin Contact and When It Becomes Orange
In this short extract from my full interview with Simon Woolf, author of Amber Revolution, we explore one of the most important questions in contemporary wine: what actually is orange wine? Simon explains why orange wine can be described as “white wine made like red wine”, how the term became popular, the difference between orange wine and amber wine, and why Georgia’s amber wine tradition remains so important. We also discuss when skin contact becomes orange wine, why colour is not the defining factor, and why fermentation on the skins is the key point of difference. This is especially useful for anyone studying orange wine, skin-contact white wines, amber wine, natural wine, Georgian wine, or the WSET Diploma D6 research assignment.

Alcohol Fatigue Syndrome: Why You’re So Tired After Quitting Drinking (and How Rehab Helps)
You stop drinking to feel better. But many people feel worse first. If you’re tired after quitting drinking, you are not alone. Post‑alcohol exhaustion can show up after a binge, after weeks of heavy use, or after you quit and your body starts to heal. Many people call this “alcohol fatigue syndrome.” It is not a formal medical diagnosis. It is a real pattern: low energy, heavy limbs, brain fog, poor sleep, and a sense that your body is moving through mud. In most cases, energy returns as sleep, nutrition, mood, and brain chemistry steady out. This guide explains what causes fatigue, how long it can last, what helps most, and when it is time to get medical support.

Burton McMahon Lusatia Park Pinot Noir 2024
What a great Pinot! Probably the best I've seen under this Burton McMahon label. Wonderfully savoury on opening, embrace scents of twigs, dried leaves, pine needles and pine mushrooms. Dark cherries and sour cherries pin themselves to the palate, walking in step with the well-balanced acidity. Fine spices tap away on a lengthy and devilishly moreish finish. It's an excellent Pinot ready for now or to hold. You choose. 95/100 Region: Yarra Valley RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Burton McMahon Syme Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024
With a clenched-fist tension, this Syme Vineyard Pinot Noir from two mates, Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon, will continue to steadily morph into a delightful wine with more bottle age. Tasted alongside the Lusatia Park Pinot Noir, this was just that bit more coiled. Black cherries, plums and a hint of chocolate, earthiness, twigs and undergrowth muse with a fine dusting of spice. It certainly evolved more the longer it was open over a few days of tasting. 93/100 Region: Yarra Valley RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Camino Wine Co Grenache Rosé 2024
Some serious vine material goes into this wine that seems to be awfully cheap for what you get. Rosé lovers rejoice with this impressive Camino Wine Co Grenache Rosé 2024. From vines planted in 1912, it's a wine that has serious sessionable appeal. Bone dry with a thrilling creamy drive, the onion skin appearance attracts the eye from the outset. Dried raspberries, rhubarb, red currant, and apricot kernel diffuse from the glass and flow through to a flavour profile that is seductive and moreish in equal doses. It's such a wonderfully balanced Rosé, it's a wine I enthusiastically recommend. 93/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Juniper Estate Chardonnay 2025
A great expression of Chardonnay that is true to the Margaret River region, check this Juniper Estate 2025 release. Alluring aromas of pineapple husk, white-fleshed stonefruit, flint and gun smoke roll out the welcome mat. These flow with ease to an expressive palate that possesses a fine feathering of texture. Some cashews, a touch of saltiness and a grapefruit acidity enhance its enjoyment factor, with an old school lemonade tang that clings to a persistent finish. It's really well done. 92/100 Region: Margaret River RRP: $35 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
