Alcobrew Enters Premium Single Malt Space with Gamber Valley Launch
The whiskies are distilled, matured and bottled at the company's Solan facility in Himachal Pradesh, with initial availability planned across Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Chandigarh. Further expansion into key markets including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Odisha and Delhi NCR is expected through a phased rollout. The move comes at a time when Indian single malts continue to gain momentum both domestically and internationally. Industry estimates suggest the segment could grow at nearly 20% annually over the next five years, driven by premiumisation trends and increasing consumer confidence in Indian-made whiskies. In a milestone for the category, Indian single malts overtook imported Scotch in volume sales for the first time in 2024, accounting for more than half of all single malt volumes sold in the country. Romesh Pandita, Chairman and Managing Director of Alcobrew Distilleries India, puts it, "With Gamber Valley Indian Single Malt Whisky, we are not launching a product—we

Vinexpo Asia Reaffirms International Confidence in Asian Markets
Held from 26 to 28 May, the 2026 edition of Vinexpo Asia consolidated Hong Kong’s position as a major platform for wine and spirits trade in the Asia-Pacific region. Bringing together 14,273 trade professionals from 76 markets, compared with 59 in 2024, and 38 producing countries, compared with 35 in 2024, the event reflected the sustained commitment of international producers to Asian markets against a challenging geoeconomic backdrop. With a history in Hong Kong dating back to 1998, Vinexpo Asia once again received support from key local stakeholders, including the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and was officially opened by the Acting Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government. The Hong Kong launch of Be Spirits and Be No also reflected evolving consumption patterns in Asia, with Be Spirits tripling its exhibitor base and no-alcohol products accounting for one in ten exhibitor references. “With Vinexpo Asia, Vinexposium strengthe

10 Reasons To Quit Drinking, According To Sober Celebrities

Shady happenings
It was a mix of sunshine and showers on the mid-May weekend in Kilkenny, so it's just as well the motorised awnings over the beer garden of Sullivan's Taproom were in good working order. The annual beer festival brought a selection of breweries from around Ireland. I was last here two years ago , and since then a new brewery has sprung up next to the drinking space, though I suspect this is more an expansion of the pilot kit, rather than a full production site for contract-brewed flagships like Maltings red and Black Marble stout -- both fine beers, of course. More Sullivan's small-batch beer is to be welcomed, and the indoor bar had three of them. California Common is one of those styles which made it from a million homebrew kits to a thousand microbreweries as the brewers went professional in the '00s, but which hasn't had much of a permanent impact on the beer scene. It's always nice to see one in the wild, even if they're rarely spectacular. This one certainly wasn't, but get

Showing Up
By Michele Francisco, OWP editor For two years during college, I lived next to Mrs. Holmes. She was in her 70s (or maybe 80s) and had spent more than 40 years in her Westwood apartment. Most days, she planned a single outing: bank, grocery store, dress shop, pharmacy or lunch with a friend. As a young college student juggling classes, writing papers and working a part-time job, I was a little jealous of Mrs. Holmes’ schedule. As my parents grow older, I find they need more help navigating daily life. With less energy, everyday tasks feel almost monumental in scale. I realize now, Mrs. Holmes had developed a rhythm and routine to match her stamina. I’m visiting them in California right now. My time here is always busy. I accompany my parents to their medical appointments, help automate their finances so bills are paid on time, declutter and sort through what seems like a metric ton of paperwork and mail. All while managing my own work and responsibilities. I&rsqu

Pour Favor
By Greg Norton Oregon wines consistently draw recognition for their high quality. You can compare the characteristics of numerous bottles by consulting reviews and ratings available on various websites and publications, including this one. But if you want to know which Willamette Valley tasting room is family-friendly, you’re on your own. For the second year, the Cellar Stars Awards aim to bridge this data gap. In April, more than 50 industry professionals and friends gathered at Abbey Road Farm for a happy-hour awards ceremony celebrating quality hospitality programs across the Valley. Nominated by industry peers last fall, three finalists were named in each of 20 categories. The public voted for the finalists in February. As the winners were feted, attendees swirled Abbey Road’s wines alongside a generously loaded charcuterie table from Bellyful Catering Company. “It was incredible to see our industry come together to celebrate the hospitality programs t

Pear Pressure
By Michele Francisco Today, it’s hard to imagine Rogue Valley’s wine industry being vilified. Yet, pear growers, threatened by the region’s nascent wine activity, treated Porter Lombard, Ph.D., like a scoundrel and ran him out of town. Lombard had served as the superintendent and horticultural researcher at the Oregon State University Experiment Station near Jacksonville. Determined to learn if wine grapes could thrive in the area, he planted the area’s first post-Prohibition vineyard in 1967. Before the pear growers ousted Lombard in 1980, he studied various varieties and discovered the Rogue Valley was ideally suited for a range of wine grapes. His success generated interest both locally and in California. Commercial vineyards, established in the decade after Lombard’s experimental plantings, led to the Rogue Valley’s first bonded wineries in 1978. Valley View Vineyards was established by the local Wisnovsky family and Siskiyou Winery was founded b
