Poland: Europe’s next wine surprise?
For many travellers, Poland means Kraków, Warsaw, castles, forests and vodka. And yet, while almost nobody was looking in that direction, a new generation of winemakers has been emerging.




Italian wine attracts the world. But the world earns more from it than we do
Italy is probably the country that, more than any other, has all the ingredients needed to dominate the wine tourism market. It boasts extraordinary wine biodiversity, thousands of wineries, UNESCO-listed landscapes, an unrivaled gastronomic heritage, picturesque villages, art, culture, and a rich territorial identity that continues to attract visitors from every corner of the globe.
The Wine Crisis Isn’t Twenty Years Old
Every crisis needs a culprit. The wine world seems to have found its own: young people. “Generation Z doesn’t drink.” “People in their twenties prefer cocktails.” “They have no wine culture.” It is a simple explanation—perhaps too simple—but it has one major advantage: it shifts the focus away from the industry itself. If young people are the problem, then wine doesn’t need to change; they simply need to learn how to appreciate it.
Inviting a friend over for dinner comes with a whole series of rituals, even when the evening is meant to be simple and informal. Introducing someone we care about to food and wine means paying attention, showing affection, taking care in the most natural way.
Burgundy: Life and Work Through the Eyes of an Italian. The First Things That Surprised Me
When I decided to move to Burgundy, I expected to find great wines, immaculate vineyards, and a deeply rooted wine culture. All of that was there, of course.What I did not expect was the almost obsessive level of attention devoted to every single vine and every single bottle. Burgundy is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions.
Amarone della Valpolicella & Bulgari Secret Garden
The instant that endures. There is a moment in every serious blind tasting when the glass tells you something before you have found the words for it. The colour is too deep for Nebbiolo, too alive for Syrah. The nose arrives in layers — dried fig, dark cherry, a whisper of chocolate that dissolves into something almost medicinal, like a herb pressed between the pages of an old book.
Why South African Wine Tourism Feels Different
Having grown up in South Africa and resided near some of my country’s best wine-producing regions (from Montagu to Cape Town’s Constantia Valley to the Durbanville Wine Valley), I can safely say that South African wine, and indeed, our wine industry as a whole, is special.

Georgia, Where Wine Is Not a Trend but an 8,000-Year-Old Story
Visiting Georgia for a week or two is wonderful, but living here really makes you understand why wine occupies such a peculiar place in Georgian life. I first came to Georgia while I was living in Berlin, and I remember being swept away by a country that felt exotic and strangely familiar at the same time.
Australia Beyond Shiraz: A Journey Through the Wine Country You Never Expected
I still remember the summer of 2010, when I told my AIS wine instructor, Leonardo Taddei, that I would soon be leaving my beloved Lucca for faraway Australia. Whenever, as a young girl, I shut myself away in my bedroom to daydream, scribbling down lists of exotic places I wanted to visit, Australia would invariably end up at the very bottom of the page. “Too far away,” I would think.
A sommelier’s view of the care, connection and pleasure behind every bottle. A bottle of wine is a year, or sometimes several, of someone’s work. Inside it are the rain and the sun, the slope where the vines grew, and people who cared for them.
