A Tech Sheet Manifesto
A tech sheet, if not familiar, is a single page document about a specific wine usually written by the winery or in some cases the importer or distributor. The sheet lists all the pertinent technical information about the wine including how and where the fruit was grown, how the wine made and aged, and potentially much more. Tech sheets are important

SIX URBAN LEGENDS IN BOOZE HISTORY

Watching Football? Grab One of These Unexpected Sparkling Wines
Beer, of course, is the classic football–viewing beverage, so it makes sense that classic football snacks — pretzels, nachos, wings, pigs in a blanket — go well with a bottle of Budweiser, which helps wash away the food’s salty, often-fried carbiness and fat.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLUB SODA, SELTZER, AND SPARKLING WATER? (AND TONIC, TOO)
Though each of these bubbly beverages appears identical, each contains different flavor profiles and is made using different processes.
https://vinepair.com/articles/difference-club-soda-vs-seltzer-sparkling-tonic/?utm_source=The+Drop+by+VinePair&utm_campaign=e12c7e79a8-Aug_21_2018&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b653fb8c99-e12c7e79a8-38937345&goal=0_b653fb8c99-e12c7e79a8-38937345&mc_cid=e12c7e79a8&mc_eid=d42ed911dc
Vinters are using music to make better wine
Winemakers are playing music to their fermented grapes in an attempt to coax more flavor from the bottles. It sounds odd, but they say the waves help improve the way the wine develops.

PORTUGAL WANTS ALCOHOL WARNING LABELS TO ‘SHOW THE BENEFITS TOO’

VINEYARDS IN THE DORDOGNE INVEST IN BATS TO PROTECT CROPS
Following a study, published earlier this year, which concluded that certain species of bat hunt grapevine moths, wine producers in the Dordogne are installing bat boxes around their vineyards to encourage the flying mammals to act as a natural ‘pesticide’.
https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2018/08/vineyards-in-the-dordogne-invest-in-bats-to-protect-crops/
Horizontal and vertical
Wine lovers are used to thinking about horizontal and vertical, especially when it comes to tasting. A horizontal tasting enables a range of wines from the same year to be compared: the emphasis is on the difference between wines. A vertical tasting looks at just one wine through a range of different years, emphasizing the difference in vintages. That’s a useful distinction.

WASPS ARE GETTING DRUNK OFF FERMENTED FRUIT AND TERRORIZING BEER GARDENS

This clever bottle visualizes the terroir of the wine within
Most wine labels overlook this, focusing on a simple text logo accompanied by a short description about blackberry notes and counties in California
https://www.fastcompany.com/90214913/this-clever-bottle-visualizes-the-terroir-of-the-wine-within
Do Italian wines shipped to the U.S. contain more sulfides than the bottles sold in Italy?
I think you mean sulfites, not sulfides, but I thought I’d use this opportunity to remind you and others of the difference between the two. Sulfides are volatile sulfur compounds and, while harmless, are typically considered a flaw because of the stinky, skunky or rotten egg–like aromas they can contribute to wine. Sulfites are a naturally occurring byproduct of wine, and sometimes winemakers choose to add additional sulfites to prevent a wine from spoiling.
Wines sold in the United States have the “contains sulfites” note on wine labels, but wines sold in Italy do not, simply because labeling laws differ from country to country. So the same wine—with the same amount of sulfites—will or won’t carry that warning, depending on where it is sold. Italian wines imported to the U.S. have to have this “contains sulfites” wording on their labels before being sold here.
For most of us, sulfites aren’t a problem, and are part of many things we consume, like dried apricots, molasses and blue cheese. But for the approximately 1 percent of people that have sulfite allergies, wine can be a concern, and cause some scary reactions, from wheezing and asthma-like attacks to digestive issues and difficulty swallowing.
Why it’s worth making the effort to shop at independent wine shops
People are still confused or not clear on the benefits of going to your local wine shop, or on the kinds of wines you get there

Organic, natural, biodynamic… What next for wine?
Wine has been popular for centuries: but as consumers becoming increasingly concerned about sustainability there’s huge potential for niche categories – such as organic, natural and biodynamic – to grow. BeverageDaily puts the spotlight on the trends the industry will be seeing more of in the coming years.

New Smirnoff
Diageo is extending its Smirnoff vodka range with a new limited edition Moscow Mule-inspired entry. Infused with ginger and lime flavors, Smirnoff Moscow Mule is designed to be mixed with ginger ale or ginger beer to create a simple cocktail. The 30%-abv offering ($15 a 750-ml.) will be available at select retail outlets through September, offered in both 750-ml. and 50-ml. formats. Smirnoff Moscow Mule’s debut follows the 2016 launch of summer-inspired limited edition Smirnoff Red, White & Berry, which was up 65% to 68,000 cases in the U.S. last year, according to Impact Databank. The overall Smirnoff brand, however, was down 1.8% to 9.2 million cases for 2017.

Craft Beer News
Craft beer production increased by 5% in the first half of 2018, according to the Brewers Association, matching its growth rate for calendar 2017. While craft beer continues to expand in the U.S.—and is aggregating share within the overall beer category—the pace has slowed markedly over the past few years, and the market has grown increasingly crowded. The Brewers Association notes that there were more 6,655 active breweries in the U.S. as of June 30, up 20% from a year ago. In addition, there are an estimated 2,500-3,000 breweries in the planning stages. “The data demonstrate that 2018 is on pace to have the highest number of brewery openings and closings to date,” said Brewers Association chief economist Bart Watson. “However, even as breweries close, openings continue to far outpace the number that shutter.”

Why are Rosé Bottles Crazy with Shapes and Packaging?
Disappointed as I was in my fellow wine drinkers, this meant I had to face facts: these attention-seeking methods of marketing serve a purpose.

New Jager
Jägermeister has launched a new “Mini Meister” single-serve package. The 20-ml. bottles are targeted toward on-the-go occasions and tout the ability to chill faster than a traditional 750-ml. format. Currently rolling out nationwide at grocery, liquor, drug, and convenience stores, the Mini Meisters are available as part of a 10-pack that retails at $10. The Mini Meister launch follows Jägermeister’s debut of Jägermeister Manifest—a super-premium offshoot retailing at $60 a 750-ml.—earlier this year. Jägermeister sold 1.7 million cases in the U.S. last year, according to Impact Databank.

The Chablis difference
Chablis occupied around 500 ha in the 1960s; now it has grown more than tenfold, to 5,600 ha. That’s 23 per cent of all Burgundy’s vineyards. Its unique variety is Chardonnay; its bestclimats are nuanced into a suite of Premiers Cru and Grand Cru names. All very reassuring; all very ducal; all very lustrous. But … all very misleading?
