Wake Up CallYou never know what might happen when you send an invite on LinkedIn. Will it vanish into the digital ether, or land in a live inbox? And even then, will a human at the other end care enough to respond? Recently, I took a chance and sent a connection request to Andrew Jefford, lamenting the global shifts in wine consumption and how they're challenging our local industry.
The Buzz: De-alcoholized vs. Non-Alcoholic Wines in BCYou've heard the buzz, seen the grocery store shelves, even liquor store shelves – non-alcoholic (NA) beverages are everywhere! From Dry January to Sober September, the "sober curious" movement is gaining momentum, with people of all ages reaching for refreshing sips sans booze. And our BC wine scene? It's answering the call! But as you explore this newish category, you might notice two terms: "de-alcoholized" and "non-alcoholic." Are they the same? Not quite, and understanding this nuance may be key to finding your next favorite glass. As a wine gal, I'll admit this is not my category, but I'm interested and intrigued by their potential, especially for younger generations and non-drinkers like my own kids.
