Judgement Day comes to London
London Wine Fair will host an homage to the late Steven Spurrier’s landmark “Judgment of Paris”, a tasting which created shockwaves around the wine world in 1976, when the Californians trumped the French in a blind tasting. “Judgement of London” will be a significantly updated version to reflect the breadth and maturity of today’s fine wine market. Whilst the original tasting saw current vintages of Bordeaux and Burgundy pitched against their Californian counterparts, the 2024 version will see a broader inclusion of European icon wines and The Rest of the World equivalents, a more realistic benchmarking nearly half a century on.

Why private label wine is the gift that keeps on giving
OK you might not want to turn up at a dinner party with a bottle of Tesco Finest, but if you did you can be pretty much guaranteed no one would complain about what it tastes like. Private label, own label, or exclusive wines are the benchmark setters for the industry. Wines that have probably had more scrutiny and attention paid to how they are made than the average branded wine on shelf. These are the wines that a retailer, a restaurant group, a pub, or hotel chain is putting their prized name to. These are the wines they are most proud of and take very seriously indeed...

Over 170 Georgian wines at London Wine Fair, as Georgians look west
The rapid growth in sales and profile of Georgian wine to the UK may seem surprising to some. But for Georgians it is the reward of more than a decade of collective effort. Exports of Georgian wine to the UK increased 10-fold in the 5 years from 2016 to 2021 (2022 figures are pending). The great work has been to “diversify markets”; to cut the twisted chord to Russia, which has been for a century or so Georgia’s principal wine customer. The relationship reminds me of a bad ex.

How the wine industry is missing out on huge potential sales by ignoring the independent grocery sector
Is it really? What makes you say that. The fact you have even asked that question reveals the problem the industry has. For large parts of the wine sector the independent grocery, and convenience channels are after thoughts, if they are even a thought at all. When the wine industry talks about independents it means the few hundred specialist independent wine merchants and not the tens of thousands of grocery stores embedded in every local community in the country. Retailers that are too often dismissed as the local corner shop that you would only go to when you have run out of milk, or want to buy a National Lottery ticket. The fact they also sell millions of bottles of wine a year seems, for many, to be completely ignored.

Why wine companies need to stop talking about themselves
Stop talking about themselves - who are they going to talk about? Their customer. Their target audience. The people, or businesses, they hope are going to buy their wine. But how many companies, brands, or individuals for that matter, ever do? We are all too busy telling the world about ourselves to ever stop to think what we look and sound like to the very people we are trying to talk to.

English Wine - Building the Brand
The rise of English sparkling wine over the last 20 years is, to my mind, our industry’s most notable – and successful – story this century. I don't think it’s patriotic hyperbole to say that, in the last 20 years, the wine world has witnessed the emergence, for the first time in four decades, of a wholly new region, recognised globally for a specific style and innate identity.

Could glass bottle shortages finally open the way for alternative packaging?
Sounds interesting - why are you asking this now? Well, if you eavesdrop on any conversation between a producer, supplier or retailer, the issue of glass and what a massive headache it has become for everyone in the supply chain, will come up within a few moments.

Brands are Built on Stories, and Sustainability Must be Central to the Stories We’re Telling Wine Drinkers
For well over a decade, it has been clear that across industries, businesses would live and die by their approach to sustainability, and how they communicate on it. Today, a coherent ESG strategy is, almost universally, considered essential for companies, not only because it’s ‘the right thing to do,’ but also because it is vital for staff retention, building relationships with suppliers and customers and engaging with the end consumer.
