Rheingau winemaker Eva Fricke will be one of the headliners of Sotheby’s upcoming fine wine auction. The sale will include the 2019 Lorcher Krone Trockenbeerenauslese which was awarded 100-points by The Wine Advocate.

The red wine marketed on Germany’s crowdfunding website as “our worst vintage” might not sound appetizing, but bottles are flying off the virtual shelves.

To meet the demands of an increasingly health conscious world of wine drinkers, more wineries are now making low- or no-alcohol wines. In the past, this was a bleak realm, but today’s versions can be surprisingly tasty. While they’re unlikely to supplant real wine, they’re a welcome addition.

When it’s hot, you want your wine cold—but how cold, really? Let’s face it: When it’s blazingly hot outside, a 55°F glass of wine, which is more or less the ideal temperature for rich Chardonnays and white Burgundies, just isn’t all that refreshing.

Pinot Noir is an iconic variety that’s renown throughout the world. But this red grape made a name for itself at home in Burgundy and all across Europe.

The wine and hospitality industry can be a tough business — especially this past year — so it’s telling what experts reach for when they’re off the clock and it’s time to recover from a long day.

With lots of bold flavors, namely the tomatoes and the spices, I want a white wine with good acidity, maybe just a touch of sweetness, and most certainly no oak — a wine that complements but doesn’t clash.

Wine is a global business, and grapes have traveled internationally for thousands of years. As different varieties are adopted in new regions, they’re often been given new names— consider how France’s Syrah became Shiraz, or Primitivo became known as Zinfandel.
