Franklin Liquors-The Wonderful World of Wine

Exploring all things wine with you!

06-06-26

This link takes you to a curated Flipboard magazine called “LIQUOR INDUSTRY NEWS 06-06-26,” put together by Mark Lenzi (The Wonderful World of Wine). It tracks a mix of quirky history, industry trends, and beverage science.

A few of the standout stories featured in this specific roundup include:

🔬 Ancient Brews & Science

• Beer From a Mummy: Researchers are planning a highly unusual brewing project. They have managed to collect prehistoric yeast strains from the preserved corpse of Ötzi the Iceman—the famous 5,300-year-old mummy discovered frozen in the Alps—and intend to use them to brew a truly ancient style of beer.

✈️ Beverage Trends & Dynamics

• Wine at 30,000 Feet: An industry piece breaks down why wine tastes entirely different when you are on a plane. Because aircraft cabins are pressurized to altitudes equivalent to 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, your taste buds change. Wine judges weigh in on what actually makes a wine profile survive and taste good at high altitudes.
• The Rise of Ranch Water: Food & Wine highlights the enduring appeal of “Ranch Water,” the ultra-simple, refreshing Texas staple cocktail consisting of tequila, lime juice, and Topo Chico sparkling mineral water.

🥃 Distillery Culture

• Naming the Stills: A fun feature from VinePair explores the personality behind liquor production. Because copper stills are essentially the heart and soul of any distillery operation, distillers frequently treat them like family, giving their favorite ones clever, historical, or flat-out bizarre nicknames.

The magazine serves as a neat snapshot of how modern science, pop culture, and ancient history are intersecting in the beverage world right now.
