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.

How color and shape influence wine sales

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?
