A red wine is the sum of several important factors. Terroir, grape varietal, weather, and the vintner’s skill conspire to create a sumptuous beverage that shares a color but varies wildly elsewhere. This diversity makes drinking red wine fun, and any pour of something new and unfamiliar can double as a mini-adventure filled with enticing flavor possibilities.

A team of Poland’s sea divers has discovered the wreckage of an old sailing ship loaded with luxury goods, including about 100 bottles of Champagne, mineral water and other items, about 190 ft. deep off the Swedish coast. According to the leader of the team of the divers, Tomasz Stachura, the precious items could have been on the way to the royal table in Stockholm or the Russian Tsar’s residence in St Petersburg when the ship sank sometime in the second half of the 19th century.

When Izzy Tulloch was young, her father would return home from the produce market, bushels of berries in his arms, and sit with her. Together they would examine the little gems of fruit and sample each one’s sweetness, searching for the perfect berry. Inspired by this summertime memory, it’s no surprise that fresh blackberries take center stage in Tulloch’s sparkling and inventive riff on the classic Whiskey Sour.

We recently re-reviewed El Buho Mezcal Espadin to see how it had changed since we first tried it 12 years ago. Now we’re back with the rest of the line of mezcals El Buho, including one made with Jabali, which is a variety that rarely makes it to the U.S. These are more adventurous varieties of mezcal than Espadin, and they carry higher price tags — but with those comes more distinctive character and flavor.

Much of that growth comes from major brands like Jameson and Bushmills, but dozens of new labels are gaining market share as well as the number of active Irish distillers passes 50.

At bartending conferences, spirits brands will often give pseudo-educational presentations that feature statistics and sales data specific to their own brands. And more often than not, said data gives the audience a skewed representation of that spirits category at large and fails to look at trends through a broader lens. For example, proclaiming that “ tequila is the go-to spirit for most consumers” isn’t totally invalid, but it does disregard the fact that vodka is still the best-selling spiri
