China’s wine consumption has dropped by more than half since 2018, according to the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine).

Ciavolich, dove la memoria diventa vino: il progetto Fosso Cancelli racconta l'anima di Loreto Aprutino
Tra le colline di Loreto Aprutino, dove le brezze dell'Adriatico incontrano quelle del Gran Sasso, si snoda una delle storie più antiche del vino abruzzese: quella della famiglia Ciavolich , la cui vicenda attraversa oltre cinque secoli mantenendo intatto il legame con la terra e con una viticoltura profondamente identitaria. Le radici affondano nel XVI secolo, quando i Ciavolich — mercanti di lana di origine bulgara — si stabiliscono a Miglianico, ancora lontani dal mondo del vino che entrerà nella loro storia solo qualche secolo più tardi. Nel 1853 Francesco Ciavolich costruisce, davanti al palazzo di famiglia, la prima cantina destinata alla vinificazione delle uve provenienti dai terreni circostanti. Alla fine dell'Ottocento il matrimonio tra il figlio Giuseppe Ciavolich ed Ernestina Vicini, appartenente a una storica famiglia di Loreto Aprutino, crea definitivamente il legame con uno dei territori più vocati dell'Abruzzo dove, dopo diversi passaggi ereditari, si consoliderà il pat

Varney Wines GSM 2023
More herbal than the juicy, fruit-driven style this Varney GSM has become known for, this 2023 slides back a notch or two from those that have come before. It opens with raspberries and blackberries before menthol, dried herbs and a subtle hint of tomato paste take the lead. Chocolate, stripped bark and earthy notes build further complexity, while a blanket of spice settles comfortably over the finish. It's balanced and remains an enjoyable drink, offering plenty of savoury character and interest. That said, it doesn't quite capture the energy, generosity or wow factor of previous releases. In all, it's a solid GSM. 92/100 Region: McLaren Vale RRP: $35 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Jericho Fiano 2026
Fresh and bright, this Jericho Fiano is springtime in a glass. White flowers and cold-pressed green apple leap from the glass before cut pear, lemon juice and lemon rind bring a lively citrus lift. A fine rub of texture glides through the palate, with a riverstone-like minerality adding shape and freshness without stealing the spotlight. There's terrific energy from start to finish, delivering a crisp, vibrant and refreshing wine. Approachable from the outset yet carrying enough texture to keep things interesting, rip the cap off, gather some friends to picnic in the park with this poured generously. 90/100 Region: Adelaide Hills RRP: $27 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Travellers Keykeg 20L Cabernet Merlot 2025
Some wines don't ask for food, they demand it. This Granite Belt Cabernet Merlot is one of them. These 20L keykegs from Nextgen Wines and are pointed to venues as a cost-effective alternative to bottled wine. Sourced from the Granite Belt, this Cabernet Merlot possesses black fruits that set the tone from the outset, with a leafy edge whispering its varietal persona. Sage and thyme weave through the palate, adding savoury complexity before a lick of red apple peel lingers on the finish. Cocoa-like tannins provide plenty of grip, delivering a drying, puckering structure that cries out for a robust meat dish to soften its edges. Think slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roast beef or a rib eye steak. 88/100 Region: Granite Belt RRP: $? Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Borgo Antico: il silenzio delle colline e la voce del vino
Un racconto d' ostinazione, ricerca e passione al quadrato. La collina di Borgo Antico sembra respirare con un ritmo diverso. I germogliamenti sono lenti, come se la vite avesse deciso deliberatamente di rallentare il tempo, di trattenere il freddo della notte per accumulare aromi, per impreziosirsi. Nel 1971, Vito Marchesin, daziere, compra sedici ettari che nessuno voleva. Una casa colonica bruciata dai tedeschi, filari abbandonati, un terreno invenduto. Un gesto controcorrente, nato da una...
