For the first time in 42 years, the white wines reached higher prices on average than the red wines @CapeWinemakersG 2026! Cape Chenin, Semillon and Chardonnay are our heroes. The variety of wines this year was also at a new level, as big reds are seemingly less in demand

As weather becomes more chaotic, can Burgundy’s legendary climats continue to speak through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - or will the message begin to change? @jamiegoode discusses the impact of climate change on terroir: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/j…

What if most wine tasting notes are trying too hard? After seeing how speciality coffee communicates flavour in just three descriptors, @jamiegoode wonders whether wine has made describing wine far more complicated than it needs to be: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/j…
