Professor Attilio Scienza, Alessio Planeta & Stevie Kim

Professor Attilio Scienza will unpack the topic of international grape varieties through various case studies including Trentino-Alto Adige (i.e. San Michele and Foianeghe), Tuscany (with the experiences of Antinori and Sassicaia), Lombardy, Veneto, and Friuli. Some producers of the Conegliano school, lower Lazio and Campania, Irpinia, and Frusinate will round out the discussion. Of course, Scienza will delve into the cultural underpinnings (such as French influence) of vine diffusion as well as ties to the so-called “modern” viticulture that was born through post-phylloxera reconstruction.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 486: Virtual Wine Tourism

Audio from the wine2wine 2020 session featuring

Liz Thach MW and Marilisa Allegrini present:

Wine tourism is important to most major wine-producing countries, but global warming events such as wildfires, floods, and heatwaves, and unexpected crises like earthquakes, pandemics, and terrorism often put an abrupt stop to wine visitors. However, many resourceful wineries have turned to virtual wine tourism in the form of virtual tours, tastings, and events, where consumers can “visit” the winery from the comfort of their home and purchase wine online. This session focuses on this growing trend linked to digital marketing and e-commerce. It showcases case studies from wineries and wine regions who have been successful in embracing an important aspect of the future of wine tourism.

The Future of American Tariffs: A Trump Phenomenon or Here To Stay?

Harmon Skurnik and Mark Fornatale

Skurnik has been importing wines and spirits from the EU for 33 years, and not once were tariffs considered a serious threat until last year. Now, with the Trump Administration initiating trade wars all over the globe, the threat to EU wine and spirits producers is very real, as evidenced by the October 2019 imposition of a 25% tariff on Spanish, French and German wines, based on the so-called Airbus dispute. Going forward, additional tariff threats loom, due mainly to the Digital Services Taxes being proposed throughout the EU, which the US government calls “discriminatory against US companies”. This situation threatens to bring about new tariffs of up to 100% on wines and spirits throughout Europe, and this time, on Italian wines as well. As a founding board member of the United States Wine Trade Alliance, a trade group doing everything in their power to avoid new tariffs and remove current ones, Harmon is well-equipped to give you the latest updates on this fraught situation, including what the tariff landscape will look like in 2021 and beyond.
