by Panos Kakaviatos – Bordeaux needs rain, say winemakers, as the region has seen record dryness, high temperatures and hours of sunlight so far in 2011.
Since January, Bordeaux has had far lower rainfall than usual: 27mm instead of 92mm average in January, 62mm instead of the 82mm average in February, less than half of the average 70mm in March and only 11.2mm of rain instead of the 82mm average in April.

by Adam Lechmere – Chateau Latour ‘reigned supreme’ in the words of Christie’s as the auction house sold more than £4.6m of wine from the cellars of the chateau on Friday.
Some of the prices raised eyebrows around the world. The BBC commented that the £140,940 paid for a six-magnum lot of the 1961 vintage would buy a three-bedroom house in many parts of the UK.

Argentina has found a signature wine with the wildly popular malbec. For neighboring Chile, things have been less clear-cut.
The country has gained a reputation for good-value wines, despite efforts of some vintners to sell more expensive bottles. But no single wine type is associated with Chile.
Some have suggested that the country could make inroads with carmenere, a grape that originated in Bordeaux but now is grown almost exclusively in Chile.
