The VinePair Podcast: Gruppo Campari Couldn’t Pass on Courvoisier
From Gallo’s purchase of Rombauer and Massican to cannabis brand Tilray’s surprising acquisition of eight craft breweries and beverage companies from AB-InBev, there’s been no shortage of head-turning deals just this year alone. However, arguably the most surprising one came just last week when news broke that Gruppo Campari will be purchasing Courvoisier from Beam Suntory for a whopping $1.32 billion. During the early days of the pandemic, Cognac experienced a massive explosion of growth. Rémy Martin, Hennessy, and the like were on fire — so much so that many producers ran out of stock.

We Asked 12 Bartenders: Which Cognac Offers the Best Bang For Your Buck?
There’s a longstanding visual that’s often associated with drinking Cognac. It involves an old, rich white guy in a smoking jacket sitting by a roaring fireplace, slowly and joylessly swirling the liquid in the broad-based snifter in his palm. Despite the category’s efforts to distance itself from this stuffy stereotype, it persists. This assumption does more than convey pretentiousness — it implies that Cognac is the forbidden fruit of the spirits world, unattainable unless you have deep pockets. This is untrue: Cognac is for everyone, and for every budget. The article We Asked 12 Bartenders: Which Cognac Offers the Best Bang For Your Buck? appeared first on VinePair .

Terre De Vins — N°91 Trésors de Champagne
The special 'Champagne' issue of French magazine Terre de Vins hit the shelves on Wednesday 6 December. As every year, the heart of this special issue lies in the presentation of the selection of the "100 best Bruts non-vintage to enjoy for the festive season". Champagne Gardet Brut Tradition had the honour of taking part, and was awarded the excellent score of 94/100. The special 'Champagne' issue is also a look back at the news that has marked the appellation. In this issue, they all seem to revolve around one major theme: the art of lasting. And when we talk about time, the art of ageing champagne easily springs to mind. Long ageing periods are very important at Gardet.
