For $2, a Wine for Those Who Can’t Be Bothered With a Cork | February 5, 11:16 am | 0 comments "It almost sounds fancy, especially when it’s said in its native Scottish brogue — Buckfast Tonic Wine, as if it cures the drinker of any ailments besides their wits and sobriety. A potent mix of alcohol and caffeine, it has come under attack in Scotland for making people drunk and disorderly, and empty bottles of the stuff have a way of showing up at crime scenes and brawls. City Room got to wondering — what is our equivalent in the five boroughs?" Source: nytimes.com |

Some Wine With That? | February 4, 9:07 am | 0 comments "You can get everything you need to make dinner in a New York grocery store, but not the wine to go with it.

When Smoke Gets in Your Wine | February 3, 11:32 am | 1 comments "Taking alcohol out of wine seems a bit like taking the fun out of a day at the beach--and certainly very un-Australian. But that is how Memstar, a Melbourne business, is making money. Memstar uses high-tech membranes (hence the first part of its name) to remove unwanted elements in wine, right down to the molecular level. Removing alcohol is the major use of the technology, but with a switch in the process other unwanted elements can be removed, including smoke taint from forest fires. Both problems, rising alcohol levels in wine caused by excess sugar in grapes, and smoke from such fires, have been blamed on a warming climate." Source: forbes.com |

Wheaton wine firm introduces enthusiasts to opportunities | January 28, 11:40 am | 0 comments "When wine lovers get together, they usually talk about the season's grape harvest, the bestselling bottles and the corks they're most excited to pop. But Wheaton-based wine consulting firm GiraMondo Associates made sure there was none of that last week at its inaugural Wine Entrepreneurs Conference.
