Red #wine floods Portuguese town after winery tank bursts - The Washington Post

There aren’t many things like the shade of a #grape #vine. #Vitis americana, variety unknown. Rogue, since supposedly it shouldn’t be allowed to bear fruit. However, people still eat it and make homemade #wine with it, against public health recommendations.

Bodovino in downtown Boise is pretty rad if you like #wine and want to sample some expensive bottles. Much better to try a splash of a $100 bottle for $5 than find out you hate it after spending $30:)

If you're coming to the #LancasterJazzFestival, why not soak up some classic Blue Note sounds between gigs on Friday at Runner Duck Wine Room (King's St. #Lancaster). #ProfDJ will be spinning all Blue Note, all on #vinylrecords from 8.30 on Friday night... its a great little venue with some outstanding #wine - pop in & join us from an evening of music from the most famous label in jazz history

The amazing rise in U.S. wine imports has been dwarfed by the imports of #spirits. In absolute levels, 2022 spirits imports are worth $12.6b -- compare to $7.3b for wine and $6.7b for beer. The 2005-2022 CAGR for spirits was 6.5%, much higher than for #wine (4.0%) & #beer (4.7%).

Alcoholic Beverage Market Shares in the U.S. from 1999-2022. Spirits' share has grown from 28% (1999) to 42% (2022), mostly at the expense of beer. #beer #wine #spirits

Hello - just a very quick #Introduction (or reintroduction) as I figure out how to move instances. I gave up the bird last November in one of the migrations and haven't looked back since. I genuinely prefer this calmer, more nuanced, more enjoyable type of social media. I am a Secondary school English teacher in the UK. Keen to connect with #Education people, #Teachers #EduTooter and the like, but I also love #Food #Wine #Cheese #TaylorSwift and #WhiteTailedEagles

If you're planning on being at the #LancasterJazzFestival, why not join #ProfDJ this Friday at Runner Duck Wine Room (Kings' St.) for an evening celebrating #BlueNoteRecords... we'll be playing some great #jazz music on the most famous jazz record label of them all.... pop in between other gigs, chill out to some great jazz & enjoy some well-curated #wine - you know it makes sense!

Final trimming and checking Brix.

Wondering if the grapes are ready yet, but unsure how to tell?

It's simple!

Just ask the raccoons; they work in quality assurance 🦝🍇😋

SOON.

Struggling French winemakers may have to destroy their vintage cellars to survive.

Several major wine-producing regions in France – particularly the vinyards of Bordeaux – are grappling with changes in consumption habits, the cost-of-living crisis and the after-effects of Covid-19.

The destruction of their vintage bottles of wine may be the only solution.

Largest Decline since 1947.

The ups and downs of U.S. per capita wine consumption from the end of prohibition (1934) to date. In 2022, wine consumption dropped by 1.06 liter per capita (-8.9%), which is the largest decline since 1947. #wine

Little known, #Denmark has morphed from a beer drinking country into a wine drinking country. #Wine is up -- #beer and #tobacco are down.

The culture of drinking wine was enjoyed throughout the Mediterranean world, and what is true now was true in antiquity, too: wine is always good business. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1502/wine-culture-in-the-hellenistic-mediterranean/ #History #GreekColonization #Symposium #Wine

Let the party for one begin!

Local made wine, I adore this company, they deliver too....just in case you want to try some of their magical flavours!
