Week in Review
Saturday, January 28 2023
01 · 28Welcome Back
The Holidays are a distant memory, and the longest month, for many reasons, has come to an end. At GOW, we look forward to 2023. There is a lot of talk about tough times ahead for wine so we will be watching, but the truth is that wine has always been a part of the drinks landscape and is not going anywhere. Sustainability, organics, reducing its carbon footprint and generally being more responsible for the environment will drive most of what we see and write about in 2023. Wine has never been better at all levels or more expensive, so rest assured, we will continue to taste and comment on the world of wine with eyes wide open.
