California Wine Festival raises a glass in two Orange County cities

Yes, the Sales Reports Are Scary, but Here's Why I Believe the Wine Biz Will Bounce Back
Wine sales are down and the recent Silicon Valley Bank Wine Report scared a lot of people in the wine business who are worried the trend will continue. Veteran wine writer Ray Isle spoke with winemaker Alecia Moore — aka the rock star P!nk — who gave him reasons to believe that new fans will fall in love with wine.

Comparative analysis of fungal and bacterial composition in natural wines and their closest pesticide-treated counterparts - Scientific Reports
Fermentation produces diverse consumables like bread, wine, beer, and cheese, with fungi playing a key role. This study sequenced fungal and bacteria DNA from 46 commercial wines, paired by vineyard proximity, harvest time, and grape variety. One in each pair was natural, while the other had pesticide treatments and microbial adjunctions. Bacteria profiles were studied using targeted sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16 S rRNA gene while fungal profiles were studied with ITS gene targeted sequencing. Significant variability was observed in the microbial content of these wines. We identified 19 unique fungal species in natural wines, absent in pesticide-treated ones. Some have known health roles. The most abundant was Penicillium jiangxiense in Lot-et-Garonne, known for its antitumor properties. Hyphopichia pseudoburtonii, with notable aromatic properties, was also detected, commonly found in insect and fish microbiota. Antrodia favescens, related to the medicinal Antrodia cinnamomea, was identified in another location, known for its role in Chinese herbal medicine against cancer and metabolic diseases. Ochrocladosporium elatum, recognized for its antioxidant and antibacterial activities, was found elsewhere. Additionally, natural wines exhibited greater bacterial biodiversity, contributing to unique tastes and potential health benefits.

With Its Health Halo Dimmed, Wine Needs New Ways to Win Over Drinkers
No category of alcohol has reacted to the recent public health debate about drinking the way wine has. The upcoming federal review of U.S. dietary guidelines already had the wine industry on edge when the Surgeon General in January put forward a slate of recommendations to make the link between alcohol and cancer clearer to the public. The resulting headlines weren’t welcomed by the alcohol industry broadly, but wine in particular seemed to panic.

Smoke sensors protecting wine from smoke taint
A smoke sensor developed by La Trobe University academics that has the potential to save hundreds of millions of dollars in lost wine production is in the process of being rolled out across the wine industry, with monitors now being used to track the impact of bushfires ravaging the Grampians.
