Fine wine from Bordeaux has been a more lucrative investment over the past 12 months than gold, crude oil or shares, according to the Liv-Ex Fine Wine Exchange. The index said its Liv-Ex Fine Wine 50 – which tracks the top five Bordeaux châteaux across ten different vintages – had risen by 57% during 2010, breaking through the 400-point barrier in December. That compares to a 35% rise in the value of gold over the same period, while crude oil has risen by only 20%. Leading share indices the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100 moved up by 13% and 11% respectively.

Sigi Hiss – durch das aktuelle MerumHeft, bin ich auf das Buch Peter Gaymanns Weinlese aufmerksam geworden. Witzig, tief- und hintersinnig! Ein Muss für jeden Weintrinker, der sich gerne auch selbst auf die Schippe zu nehmen weiss.
By:Stuart Todd – Champagne’s trade body, CIVC, is upbeat on the sector’s prospects for 2011 based on improving volume sales and higher pricing.
Global Champagne sales by volume rose by 12.4% for the 10 months to the end of October, according to CIVC.
“The key question now is whether this is largely a restocking phenomenon or a response to a real increase in consumption. We will only be able to make a judgement on that when the crucial months of November and December are past us,” said CIVC spokesperson Daniel Lorson.
He told just-drinks that global shipments for 2010 would likely hit 315m bottles, up from 293m last year but still below 322m in 2008.
Stellungnahme des Vereins Schweizer Brenzer Kirsch zur Totalrevision des Alkoholgesetzes: Schnaps ist nicht gleich Schnaps… Das neue Alkoholgesetz stellt hochstehende Genussmittel wie den Brenzer Kirsch, der ausschliesslich aus schwarzen Süsskirschen von Schweizer Hochstammbäumen gewonnen wird, noch immer auf eine Stufe mit industriell hergestelltem Billig-Wodka aus dem Ausland. Der Verein Schweizer Brenzer Kirsch fordert eine differenzierte Betrachtungs-weise.
