videoIs the wine industry ACTUALLY dying? 🍷
What questions does this video answer? Is the wine industry really dying or crashing? Why are there so many articles claiming the end of alcohol? How long has wine been a part of human civilization? Will modern trends and Gen Z actually destroy the wine market? About This Video: Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto addresses the recent flood of doom-and-gloom articles claiming "wine is dead," that there is "no amount of alcohol that is safe," and that Gen Z is entirely abandoning alcohol. Despite these modern clickbait narratives and Substack newsletters predicting the industry's collapse, the truth is found in history. Wine has survived and evolved alongside human civilization for over 8,000 years, deeply rooted in cultures all across the globe. It will easily outlast today's fleeting internet trends and clickbait journalism. The Clickbait Narrative: "Wine is dead" headlines, the end of alcohol, Gen Z drinking habits, anti-alcohol health articles. The History of W

AA History: Formation of AA in Eastern Europe
This sounds a bit fuzzy for the first 4 min then it clears right up. This one is a bit of AA history and a bit of nostalgia for your podcaster since I was at this meeting. In 1995 AA held its 60th Anniversary Conference in San Diego California with 56,000 people in attendance. The theme for the convention was A.A. Everywhere – Anywhere. It was the very first time many Eastern European countries had been able to attend an international AA event including Russia. This meeting features members speaking about their first encounter with AA and the founding of AA in multiple Eastern Europe countries and in Russia.

Prestige Alcohol Brands Are Difficult to Build — and All Too Easy to Ruin
It was the evening after my wedding in New Orleans — ages ago — and the core crew of our leftover revelers had descended upon a relaxing Marigny haunt to unwind in style before the impending crash back to our respective realities. “Johnnie Black on the rocks,” I said to the barkeep. “Scratch that,” my brother quickly interrupted. “He’ll take the Macallan 25, neat.” The barman stretched for the gloriously toffee-hued bottle lording over the back bar as my brother turned his sly signature grin my direction. “Relax!

MenoDodicIGP: Settesoli - Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT
di Stefano Tesi Nel corso dei miei ricorrenti raid tra gli scaffali della Gdo alla ricerca, talvolta autolesionistica e talaltra fortunata, di vini a poco prezzo da sperimentare tanto per il gusto di farlo e da provare senza problemi, credo di non aver mai trovato, finora almeno, una bottiglia col rapporto qualità/prezzo migliore di questo. E' un rosso fresco, agile, dissetante, con un bel profumo fragrante e un giusto corpo, da stappare in allegria tanto coi piatti invernali che, meglio se appena rinfrescato, colle pietanze estive. Nella sua categoria, un ottimo acquisto. Prezzo medio 3,5 euro

“This is the ugliest wine glass I’ve ever made in my life.” You have to appreciate the honesty from @riedel_mark.baulderstone 😂 The RIEDEL Winewings Chardonnay glass might divide people visually, but it was designed to be brutally functional. When it comes to showing modern Chardonnay at its best, Mark says the difference is night and day.

Wines of the Week: Ankida Ridge Pinot Noir Reserve 2017 and Barboursville Octagon 2015
Since I got a Coravin, a wonderful tool that extracts wine from a bottle through the cork and displaces the wine with inert argon gas, I’ve enjoyed sampling wines without having to either open or empty the bottle—I can “have my wine and drink it, too.” Recently during a cool spell, I decided to sample […]
