Agree! If I’m out for a nice dinner the last thing I want to do is have an excuse to pull out my phone

That does resolve a lot! Always a way to make sure you have what you want 😊

Love it! As long as they don’t put it all behind a QR code I’m good 😂

Florence's 500-year-old 'wine windows' (buchette del vino) are making a comeback! These tiny hatches once let merchants serve plague-era Chianti through palace walls. Now they're reopening across the city as a result of Covid-19. Who knew social distancing could be so delightfully Italian? 🍷

Wine vineyards are ripping out their fields because there isn't enough demand Some growers are forced to downsize as declining wine sales lead to an oversupply of grapes.

California vineyards face bitter harvest: 50 acres left to rot as global wine demand plummets 3.5B bottles, forcing painful vine pullouts amid shifting tastes and rising prices. 🍇📉 #WineIndustry #California

Long Tied to Russia, Georgia’s Winemakers Tip a Glass to the West Some vintners in the former Soviet republic are seeking to break a politically risky dependence on Russia and focus more on high-value European and American markets.

Georgian winemakers fear EU distancing could crush their $250M wine export market. Pro-democracy protesters in Tbilisi understand: EU connections aren't just political—they're economic lifelines for Georgia's ancient wine industry. 🍷🇬🇪 #Wine #Georgia #EU
