What Your Wine’s Legs Are Actually Hiding
Try this the next time you’re at a wine bar. Order two glasses — one big, boozy red, one light, crisp white — and swirl them side by side. Watch closely. One will throw slow, heavy streaks down the glass like it’s confessing something. The other barely leaves a mark....

The Burgundy final drop – nothing but Grand Cru and heroes
Welcome to the final instalment of 'these are all the Burgundies I've tasted recently', a collection of tasting highlights from my visit to the Grand Jours de Bourgogne 2026 (a week-long wine fair in this famed French wine region in early March). We've gone from endless Chablis through Vosne mega-wines, explored the value joys of Outer Burgundy, remembered why I love Volnay and Pommard, Meursault megastars and much more. For this post, I'm headed to the icon tier of the Burgundian wine cabinet with a collection of high-flying village and 1er Cru wines plus some ridiculous superstar Grand Cru heroes, interspersed with a few jaw-dropping disappointments.

Who Really Makes Your Champagne? Decoding the Letters Behind the Label
When we pick up a bottle of Champagne, we usually notice the producer’s name, the vintage, or perhaps the price.

Beyond Oak: Concrete and Amphora in Modern Winemaking
Among the many vessels used in winemaking, two have always intrigued me – the ancient amphora and the modern concrete tank. Unlike oak, which contributes its own flavours and aromas, these inert vessels allow the fruit and terroir to take centre stage while offering distinctly different environments for fermentation and maturation. Their growing use by Continue reading "Beyond Oak: Concrete and Amphora in Modern Winemaking "
