Nice shot! I'm looking forward to getting my marathon shipment to find out what I bought. I have no idea.

One of my buddies came over tonight to a bbq we were hosting and it happened to be his birthday. Knowing that he liked Schrader from a bottle we shared with him in Bonaire last summer, I opened this one. He was very pleased.

Maybach release is today. The Materium Cabernet is consistently my favorite Napa cab (up there with Scarecrow but gets the nod at half the price).
I prefer the traditional way, but use a screen when in a hurry.Objective Aggie said:

Stand the bottle for several hours.
Pour very slowly while looking through the bottom of the neck. Traditionally holding a candle behind it, but if the room's well lit it's not necessary. The sediment will be caught in the curve of the bottle just below the neck (assuming BDX style bottle). Stop pouring before the sediment slides into the neck.
Or, forget to do anything and when your wife wants the last bit of wine you forget and dump it all into her glass. (Pro move - not recommended)

Do you open all your bottles with a feather and tongs too? Sheesh…

One of the report's key takeaways is that consumer demand for wine continues to dwindle in favor of alternatives like RTDs, spirits, and cannabis. Further, more people are choosing not to drink altogether. In line with this, 2023 will mark the first time in 45 years that the volume of spirits sold will surpass the volume of wine sold. The report goes on to share that the U.S. is not alone in this shift, with other traditional wine-drinking countries including Germany, France, and Italy also seeing a decrease in consumption.
Another major point: there is currently an oversupply of planted vineyards in the U.S. compared to the present sales volumes. This could create conditions for overproduction, leading to inventory excess, discounting, and price reductions. This, too, is also a global trend, with France notably spending 200 million euros in 2023 to fund the destruction of the nation's surplus wine production. With a decrease in bulk wine consumption, the industry will need to correct itself to avoid the issues of oversupply.
