BKWine Brief nr 258, February 2025

— Are we stuck in an old rut? — 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. That is pretty much what many others are saying too. Two things immediately strike you when you read the […]

BKWine Brief nr 257, January 2025

— Allow time for the food — We all occasionally long for a break from the fast pace of daily life. One way of doing that is to spend time with your food. And I do not just mean eating and drinking, but also the preparations themselves. Shopping, cooking, choosing wine. Half the fun with […]

BKWine Brief nr 256, December 2024

Britt Karlsson — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 11:42:56 +0000

— Trends and non-trends — New trends don’t appear just because the calendar says it’s a new year. But at the end of December, many people have a go at predicting everything new that will happen in the wine world. On the other hand, in the world of wine, trends rarely change drastically from year […]

BKWine Brief nr 255, November 2024

Britt Karlsson — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 17:27:19 +0000

— Are we drowning in labels? — The wine world is being flooded with labels. I recently read that Champagne Bollinger was awarded the label “Entreprise du Patrimoine vivant” (roughly “a company that keeps historical tradition alive”); I didn’t even know one existed. On the same day, I saw that a French wine producer had […]

BKWine Brief nr 254, October 2024

Britt Karlsson — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 17:20:19 +0000

— 100 points! — There is no such thing as perfection. At least not in wine. If anything, the perfect wine is the one you currently have in your glass. Yet one gets the impression that many are looking for the perfect wine or the perfect occasion to drink a wine from the cellar when […]

Britt Karlsson — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 16:33:54 +0000

— Is a number worth a thousand words? — Everyone who reads the Brief is probably more or less a wine enthusiast. We are, of course. We have been called geeks and it has probably happened to one or two of our readers as well. Where the line is drawn between an enthusiast and a […]

— Why is Italy doing so well? — What can others learn from Italy? The country has been incredibly dominant in the Swedish market for several years. Italy sells twice as much as Spain and almost twice as much as France. Are the wines better? Are they geniuses at marketing? Is there some worship of […]

BKWine Brief nr 251, July 2024

Britt Karlsson — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 14:30:50 +0000

— Can a wine be “typical”? Should a wine be typical? — A wine can be typical or not typical. Typical of what? It can be typical of a grape, a region, a vintage, or a producer. However, most people who taste wine know that it is a fluid concept that is challenging to grasp. […]

BKWine Brief nr 250, June 2024

Britt Karlsson — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 13:55:29 +0000

— Wine – a question of style — “What is your favourite wine (or favourite region)?” I get asked this a lot, and it is an impossible question to answer. The last time someone asked, I realised a little later that I could have answered: “…but sometimes, I want a certain style of wine.” Somewhat […]

BKWine Brief nr 249, May 2024

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 31 May 2024 14:02:09 +0000

— The Forgotten Winemaker — No, it is not the title of a new thriller novel. “Good wine is made in the cellar, but exceptional wine is made in the vineyard,” Stellios Boutaris of Greece’s Kir-Yanni Estate told us back in 2008. Since then, we have often heard similar statements, such as “80-90% of the […]
