UB clarifies on financial leak
United Breweries Limited on May 7 reported an inadvertent disclosure of unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) linked to its annual financial results dated May 5, 2026. The company said that the prompt release of the results ensured there was no material impact warranting additional action under SEBI regulations or its Code of Fair Disclosure. In a regulatory filing, the company said an employee had unintentionally shared draft financial figures with an external party for legitimate purposes, but without adhering to prescribed safeguards under insider trading regulations. UB said its Board-approved annual financial results were officially disclosed to stock exchanges within hours of the incident on the same day. The company added that the prompt release of the results ensured there was no material impact warranting additional action under SEBI regulations. Describing the disclosure as part of good corporate governance practices, the company said it would take necessary measures

1701 Franciacorta, la biodinamica come atto di libertà
C’è una Franciacorta che guarda avanti riscoprendo radici antiche, e poi c’è 1701 Franciacorta , che quelle radici le abita davvero, dentro un vigneto murato dell’XI secolo, il Brolo, da cui tutto prende nome e senso: una data, 1701, che non è marketing ma memoria liquida di una delle prime vinificazioni di questo angolo di Lombardia. Qui, a Cazzago San Martino, nel cuore dell’anfiteatro morenico affacciato sul Lago d’Iseo, la vite cresce su suoli di sabbia e limo, profondi e vitali, modellati dai ghiacciai e accarezzati da un microclima mitigato dall’acqua, condizioni ideali per generare quella tensione minerale che è la firma più autentica del territorio. Ma 1701 Franciacorta non è solo geografia: è una storia recente che affonda in un passato lungo oltre tre secoli, rinata nel 2012 grazie alla visione di Silvia e Federico Stefini che, insieme a un gruppo di amici, rilevano la storica tenuta della famiglia Conti Bettoni Cazzago e decidono di cambiare paradigma, scegliendo la via più

May 12: Limerick Day
It's Limerick Day. Technically speaking, a proper limerick is a sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes obscene verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet. They're not as popular as they used to be, mostly due to the fact we live in an uptight politically correct age and most limericks were aggressively politically incorrect. A lot of famous writers have taken a crack at them, including Shakespeare. Here are two of his: And let me the canakin clink, clink. And let me the canakin clink. A soldier's a man, A life's but a span, Why then not let a soldier drink. And: Come, thou monarch of vine, Plumpy Bacchus with pink eye! Our cares be drowned, With grapes we're crowned, And so cup us till the world go round.

Konstantin Baum MW: “It is us wine nerds who talk about lighter wines. Most of the market is looking for something else”
The German Master of Wine analyses the gap between the wine industry’s narrative and real consumer behaviour: while a niche audience is looking for freshness and lower alcohol, the broader market is still driven by price, recognisability and immediate pleasure.
