BKWine’s opinion post on “wine and travel writing online” in Russian in Ukraine

2020 was perhaps not the best time to run a conference on wine writing and travel writing. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what the Wine Media Conference (WMC) did: The WMC Virtual Summit 2020. They had a whole series of online conferences on wine and travel writing. One of the subjects was “Food and Travel Writing for […]

The Bordeaux primeurs “circus” is famous. Hundreds of buyers and journalists gather in Bordeaux in April to taste the latest vintage. Almost two years before it will be released on the market.

We recently had the opportunity to re-taste a wine from Moldova.

Savoie is better known for its cheeses than for its wines.

Tags: [edit]
Sardinia has once again impressed us. This time we have tasted wines from carignano and bovale sardo. Behind these local Sardinian names are Spanish grape varieties. Carignano is a synonym for cariñena/mazuelo in Spain (carignan in France) and bovale sardo is the same as graciano, one of the Rioja grapes. Read our previous article about […]

Sometimes “terroir” does not matter so much.

This year, the wine producers in many parts of the world have had severe weather problems: heat, fires, floodings, frost, diseases. Spring frosts affected almost all wine regions in France for several nights in April. Because the budding, after a mild winter, had already come a long way, the ravages of the frost were enormous.

When the grapes change colour, photo evidence from the Douro Valley
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
An essential phase in grape ripening is what the French call le véraison. For lack of a better one, many other languages use the same word. Véraison means that the grapes change to their final colour. It takes place around the turn of the month, July-August. The red grapes go from green to dark blue, […]

The EU has long had restrictive regulations regarding de-alcoholising wines. This is about to change. Non-alcoholic (de-alcoholised) “wines” will probably soon be allowed to call themselves wine. And they will be allowed to keep their AOP or their IGP. This is an EU decision (in other words, a decision by the 27 member countries), although […]

The producers of Provence are ready to try new grape varieties that are more resistant to drought and disease. By 2022, several new ones will probably be allowed in limited quantities.

Tags: [edit]
We often point out that it is easy to recognize an organic wine, at least in Europe. All you have to do is look for the green EU logo on the label. It is not as easy when it comes to sustainable wines. In recent years, a plethora of different private sustainability certifications has materialized. […]
