Adega do Demo: A Galician Winery with a Rebel Spirit
We first met Carlos (Adega do Demo) at Barcelona Wine Week, and it was one of those encounters that stays with you.

Top-Rated Wines... But Where's the Joy?
Top-rated wines... but where's the joy?

The rise of alcohol free wine and why we're not raising a glass
At Wine Industry Mallorca, we’ve watched with a mix of disbelief and dismay as 0% alcohol wine has become one of the fastest-growing trends in the drinks business. Yes, you read that right.
