Italian Wines Worth £40k Stolen from Truck…
I was doing my usual search on the internet and found out that about a month ago, 636 cases of Italian wine worth £40,000 were stolen from a delivery truck in Hertfordshire, England, close to the depot where the wines are usually stored.
Now, I’m in no way condoning what the thieves […]
Nat Decants…
The internet is such a wonderful medium. Yes, it does have its vulnerabilities, but it’s such a great way to connect with the rest of the world and gain access to a plethora of information.
I’ve come across some really wonderful websites lately – from Vinopolis: City of Wine to The Wine Society […]
The Wine Show…

The Italian Wine Society…

London’s Vinopolis offers much […]

The London International Wine Fair is considered to be ‘the single […]
Red Wine is Good for You. Apparently!
It’s been claimed that drinking red wine, apparently, has its health benefits. Now, this sweet revelation is by no way an excuse for us to go out there and drink as many bottles of Italian red wine as we can get our hands on!; but it’s good to know that, when taken in moderation, it […]
Scandals: Made in Italy…
There are two scandals that are, unfortunately, currently rocking the Italian-wine industry.
1) Contaminated cheap wine…
70 million litres of cheap Italian wines (sold for under 2 euros per litre) were discovered to be contaminated with traces of horse manure, acid, fertiliser, hydrochloric acid and lots of water. The bootleg production has been placed firmly on the […]
