Portugal’s 2026 vintage is shaping up to be something extraordinary.

Much of Europe is concerned about a year marked by heat and drought but wine producers from the Douro to Alentejo are reporting the opposite of what many had feared – they are harvesting healthy grapes, with vivid acidity, freshness, balance and remarkable energy in the first fermentations.

At Rocim harvest began on 22 July, the earliest start in the Vidigueira estate’s history. In the Douro, winter rains replenished water reserves before the heat arrived, giving the vines a resilience that is now showing in the fruit.

Daniel Niepoort calls the grapes crisp, robust and beautifully fresh. Fellow Douro Boy, Francisco Ferreira of Quinta do Vallado, sees the makings of a productive and very high-quality year. Pedro Ribeiro at Rocim speaks of energy, precision and aromatic definition.

It is still too early for a final verdict. But when producers across several Portuguese regions begin using this kind of language at the same time, it gets your attention. Portugal 2026 looks like it’s going to be a vintage to remember and with that, much needed good news for the wine world!

And there will soon be another reason to look towards the Douro: on 17 October 2026, the very first Douro Boys Day will take place. More on that soon!

On 14 September, Weingut Prinz Salm opens its cellar in Wallhausen for an afternoon built around what matters most in the trade: great wines, direct exchange and the chance to taste with the people behind them.

Alongside the new vintage of Prinz Salm’s VDP.GROSSE GEWÄCHSE®️, the focus will be on mature wines - including the 2016 GGs from Scharlachberg, Kirchberg and Johannisberg – as well as selected wines from international guest estates including Heymann-Löwenstein, Louis Roederer, Delas, Domaines Ott and Ramos Pinto.

Three masterclasses, personal encounters with the producers and plenty of time to taste in depth make this a particularly worthwhile date for trade, sommellerie, hospitality and press.

Registration is reserved exclusively for wine professionals.

“My aim is to reinvent wine journalism in an exciting and entertaining way.”

At 66, after more than four decades of writing about wine, Stuart Pigott is not slowing down. He is starting again.

With his new independent platform, he is giving himself the freedom to follow curiosity rather than completeness: to spend more time with the wines, people and regions that genuinely challenge him, and to combine ratings with long-form stories, context and a distinctly personal point of view.

For someone who has spent a lifetime tasting, travelling and writing, that freedom might be the most exciting chapter yet.

Dorli sat down with Stuart Pigott to talk about starting from scratch, leaving the editorial rat race behind and what wine journalism could look like next.

The pan is not a projectile.
Stress, heat, pressure, long hours, and the expectation to deliver at the highest level, service after service. Few workplaces can become quite as intense as a restaurant kitchen.

But does fine dining have to come with a culture of toughness?
In its latest “Moment – Kulinarium”, ORF looks behind the scenes of top gastronomy and speaks to chefs who prove there is another way: leading with calm, respect and appreciation, even when the restaurant is full and every second counts.

Among them is Clemens Grabmer of Waldschänke, a member of Jeunes Restaurateurs Austria, sharing his perspective on what good leadership in a modern professional kitchen can look like.

An important conversation about kitchen culture, responsibility and how we want to work together in gastronomy today.
Now available to listen to on ORF SOUND.

What makes a great hotel truly great?
According to the latest BILANZ Hotel Ranking, the answer can be found in Zurich: Baur au Lac has been named Switzerland’s best city hotel 2026.

In its 30th annual ranking, BILANZ looks at a broader shift taking place in luxury hospitality: away from standardisation and towards authenticity, individuality and a genuine sense of place.

And that is precisely where Baur au Lac stands out. The feature celebrates a grand hotel that continues to evolve while remaining unmistakably itself – combining history and tradition with contemporary hospitality, character and personality.

As the article puts it rather perfectly: “The new luxury is personality.”

Congratulations to the entire Baur au Lac team on being named Switzerland’s No. 1 city hotel.

Some wine traditions are there to be witnessed.

Every November, winemakers, wine lovers and amphora enthusiasts gather in the heart of Portugal’s Alentejo for a unique wine event.

At Amphora Wine Day, more than 40 producers pour their amphora wines, regional dishes celebrate the local cuisine, and centuries-old winemaking traditions come to life. The highlight? The ceremonial opening of the talhas as the new vintage is released from the clay vessels for its very first tasting.

A rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s oldest winemaking traditions in the place it has survived since Roman times.

50 years, 32 million bottles and a truly remarkable success story.
What began in 1976 as a bold idea has become one of France’s greatest sparkling wine success stories.

Today, Crémant d’Alsace is the country’s second most-consumed sparkling wine with a protected designation of origin, celebrated for its traditional method, hand-harvested grapes and unmistakable sense of place. Nearly one in every four wines produced in Alsace is now made into Crémant.

Its rise isn’t about prestige alone. It’s about authenticity, exceptional value and a region that continues to redefine what great sparkling wine can be.

To mark its 50th anniversary, we take a closer look at the story behind Crémant d’Alsace, from its origins and production to why sommeliers and wine lovers around the world are reaching for it more than ever.

The Berlin Tasting changed the course of Chilean fine wine. A blind tasting. Europe’s leading wine critics. Chile triumphing over some of the world’s greatest wines.

Just before the tasting however,
The fire alarm went off.

It’s not always about perfection, a lot of it lays in how you deal with the situation at hand - also, it makes for a great story ;) One more unforgettable chapter ❤️
