In a recent article, I <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/ostrovnoj-renessans-10-vin-kipra-kotorye-stoit-poprobovat">mentioned the</a> July fires in Cyprus, which took a huge toll on the entire island. Whole villages were affected, the agricultural sector was severely damaged, including the island's wine industry, which has begun its rise to the world stage.

Winemakers against cataclysms: how they protect their business 

I recently came across a simultaneous online course on the literature of Sweden and a <a href="https://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/swedens-emerging-wine-scene">review by</a> journalist and Master of Wine winner Julia Harding of an amazing wine tasting in Sweden in August 2024. Or rather, it was a competition in which 12 pre-selected Swedish wines were blindly compared to 12 European wines. And what do you think? The Swedish wines performed surprisingly well: the first place went to Kullabergs Immelen 2021, and there were four Swedes in the top ten.

A couple of weeks ago, while leafing through the menu at a haute cuisine restaurant, I came across a very unusual name: Copenhagen Sparkling Tea. What the hell is that? Sparkling tea? My imagination instantly transported me back to my childhood, when my neighbor's mother grew a monster called "tea mushroom" on the windowsill in a glass jar.

Interviewing the most interesting people from the wine world is definitely my favorite part of my job. They may be representatives of famous and fashionable wine dynasties, but it is much more interesting to talk to small producers who make extraordinary wines, preferring the author's approach to mass tastes and trends.

The harvest season has begun! The work in the vineyards is boiling: the success of the entire vintage often depends on when and how to harvest. What has this year been like for winemakers?

From August 20 to 24, one of the most outstanding ship festivals Sail Amsterdam took place in Amsterdam. This grandiose event was held for the 10th time, this year it was timed to coincide with the 750th anniversary of the Dutch capital.

How the garden-to-glass philosophy is changing aperitifs

As I dove headfirst into the topic of garage winemaking and <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/garaznye-sedevry-gde-najti-lucsee-vino-ot-malen-kih-proizvoditelej">reminisced</a> about favorite producers as I flipped through my thick tasting notebook, I realized that among them were a great many winemakers from France's Jura region.
