Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275
There is no shortage of hard‑to‑grasp expressions in the world of wine. One of them is that “a wine expresses its origin.” We see it everywhere. Advertisers use it, and so do wine producers, wine enthusiasts, sommeliers — everyone involved. It’s what wine consumers want to hear today. It sounds good, down‑to‑earth, authentic. But everyone […] Continue reading: Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275 The post Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275 was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

The Dangers of Wine Education | New Brief #272
Can you know too much about something? Probably not — knowledge is almost always a positive thing.
