What to Expect for Wines on a Rhine River Cruise With Avalon Waterways

HOW TO BUY, AND NOT TO BUY, VINEYARDS IN CHAMPAGNE
HOW TO BUY, AND NOT TO BUY, VINEYARDS IN CHAMPAGNE   Some fascinating statistics about vineyards in France can be seen in the latest annual report from SAFER (Les Sociétés d’Aménagement Foncier et d’Établissement Rural) - the non-profit umbrella organisation whose brief is to track and guide the use and development of rural land in the best communal interest. Amongst the nine wine making regions in France covered in the report, Champagne is one of only 3 where the price of vineyard land increased in 2025. The drop in prices was most acute in the Bordeaux and Aquitaine region where prices fell by almost 24% versus 2024  Having said this, the price rise in Champagne during the same period was only a modest 0.9% but at an average price of 1.13 million euros per hectare, that is 7 times higher than the average for the entire country! Even more striking is the fact that the report reveals that Champagne represents just 8% of the total surface area of vineyards in France, yet accou

The Battle of Trenton & Crossing the Delaware: The Christmas Miracle That Saved America
Imagine you're standing on the banks of the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776. While families across America are celebrating the holiday, 2,400 desperate men are preparing to cross an ice-choked river in the middle of a blizzard. Their commander is George Washington; a leader whose recent military record consists mostly of crushing defeats. What he's about to attempt is so audacious that if it fails, American independence dies with it. This is the story of how one impossible night changed everything.

Sour season
It seems like only last week I was looking at Ireland's winter beers, but apparently the planet has done that tilting thing again, the weather has turned warmer, and the brewers have had to react appropriately. Refreshing and fruit-laden seems to be how they're achieving it. It's only early summer, though, so just two examples today. Brewers At Play 50: Gose with Lemon Zest, Pink Peppercorns & Thyme  is the latest in Kinnegar's limited edition series. The name steals my thunder as regards telling you what it is. I'll add that it's 3.7% ABV and a pale, Golden-Delicious, yellow. The lemon zest hits hard in the aroma, enhanced by a fun mineral tartness. That leaves the flavour for the pepper and herb but I couldn't really taste them. Up front it's lemon again, though less zesty, with a touch of sticky cordial about it. It is at least balanced by a sherbet effervesence, and a degree of salinity, both of which ensure it stays refreshing: arguably the most important aspect. That it'
