The top 12 wine bargains of 2020 include an outstanding boxed malbec for the equivalent of $5 a bottle Dave McIntyre The most unusual wine I tasted this year was a bubbly from Slovenia called Untouched by Light. It was made by the Radgonske Gorice winery, which dates back to the Hapsburgs, with the premise that any exposure to light damages wine. The grapes were harvested at night and the wine produced, bottled and aged in an unlit cave by workers wearing night-vision goggles, then packaged in black bottles, wrapped in vacuum-sealed black bags and shipped off to lucky invitees around the world. The wine was officially unveiled during a nighttime gala at the winery, complete with an emcee, a world-renowned champagne expert to exclaim its virtues, and an apparently famous Slovenian singer crooning lengthy ballads from a balcony. And in keeping with the ethos of 2020, the whole shebang was hosted over Zoom.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Alcohol Justice sent a letter to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra requesting a full-scale investigation of recent actions in the state by Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI). Alcohol Justice believes ABI is in violation of California s Cartwright Act and federal antitrust statutes, case law, and a 2018 federal court consent agreement. Anheuser-Busch InBev is not content with its global, national and state dominance of beer manufacturing and is now seeking anticompetitive market power in California by buying up distributors like Ace Beverage LLC of Los Angeles, stated Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director/CEO of Alcohol Justice.
