03-25-26

The “Liquor Industry News 03-25-26” Flipboard magazine curated by Mark Lenzi (The Wonderful World of Wine) features several key stories affecting the beverage world. Here is a summary of the top items:

Industry News & Legal Battles

• Trademark Dispute: US-based Long Island Spirits, the producer of LiV Vodka, has filed a lawsuit against the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league, alleging trademark infringement.
• Taxation Trends: A new report highlights that in the U.S., taxes now account for a higher percentage of the cost of beer than ingredients, labor, and materials combined.

Market Trends

• Moscato Boom in China: Sales of Moscato d’Asti have surged by 55% in China, making it the denomination’s third-largest market and bucking the general global slump in wine sales.
• Future Classics: A group of nine brewers were interviewed to identify which current craft beers are likely to become “future classics” in the same way today’s major brands once did.

Spirits Education & Culture

• The “Neck Pour” Myth: A distiller addresses the common whiskey forum debate regarding “neck pours” (the first pour from a new bottle), debunking the myth that the first glass tastes significantly different due to oxidation or bottle shape.

The collection also includes local news highlights from Phoenix (12News) and continues Mark Lenzi’s daily curation of global wine and spirits developments.
