The theatricality behind the “see me, I am rich! “ mode of champagne consumption just stopped being plainly stupid and became lethal. Shame.

For his country. For himself. For his family. Earning a medal for Greece means everything to Giannis.

This Saturday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Emmanouil Karalis to our visitor centre. "Manolo" always takes the time to explore the local wines of the countries he visits - and no trip to Porto would be complete without experiencing Taylor’s Port. @FlyManoloFly @Lazarakis

The first move out of La Place... The first of many more to come? thedrinksbusiness.com/2025/01/pol-ro…

My 2024 top point – although 2024 was a stupendous year for me at all levels, I think my top point is something that I had nothing to do with. And I suspect that this will be the case very often from now on…

91 days away from home but in Greece (+19% on last year, the highest ever) 15 days abroad (-50% on last year, only pandemic years were lower) 21,000 Km in my car (-4% on last year, but still quite high)

My 2024 in numbers: 2565 wines tasted (+3,5% on last year, the highest since COVID. Still, I needed quite a bit to top 3K) 42 flights (just one more than 2023, the second highest since COVID) 106 days away from home (one less than 2023, the second highest since COVID)

Jerez apparently abolishes the obligatory fortification of DO wines, to clear the way for still, dry, unfortified Palominos. Wise move. But will the classics survive it?
