Britt Karlsson — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:24:15 +0000

The fact that wine is a lot about chemistry has probably not escaped anyone. (After all, everything is chemistry.) However, you don’t need to know anything about chemistry to enjoy a wine.

Britt Karlsson — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 08:32:25 +0000

Champagne sales shrinking – because of too much world conflicts?

Britt Karlsson — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:20:03 +0000

Does the state of the world discourage people from opening a bottle of champagne?

Total sales A total of 271 million bottles were sold in 2024, a decrease of […]

Britt Karlsson — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 10:42:36 +0000

The Prowein Business Report takes the pulse of the wine industry once a year. The new report states that the wine industry is at a crucial crossroads.

Chile, a country of contrasts, wine from the Atacama Desert in the north to Patagonia in the south, from Viña Choapa to Czischke

Per Karlsson — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 10:25:21 +0000

Chile is a very long country, 4000 km from north to south. It is also narrow and borders the cold Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountain range to the east. All this gives it a variety of climatic conditions. On our wine tour to Chile in January, we thought about this in […]

Even more resistant grape varieties in France – have you tried kersus?

Britt Karlsson — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 11:49:39 +0000

White Burgundy has a boom in (Sweden)

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:32:55 +0000

Swedes have long been fond of Chablis, and Chablis belongs to Burgundy. Now, Sweden has overtaken Belgium in the statistics and is the fifth-largest importer (by volume) of Burgundy wine in the world. Quite incredible. The Burgundian wines that dominate in Sweden are Chablis and other white regional wines such as AOC Bourgogne and AOC […]
