As the cost of high-end wine continues to climb, people are looking for strategies to score great bottles at lower prices. While many find success scouring auction sites or buying from underrated regions, there’s a new way savvy wine lovers are evading the whopping price tag on their favorite brands, and it bears an intriguing name. Shoppers might find these bottles listed under the title “NDA wines” on a retail site, which is short for nondisclosure agreement. (Yes, this is a reference to the same type of NDA that people sign to promise to stay tight-lipped about confidential information.) But…

In the age of molecular mixology, carbonated cocktails have become fairly common in bars and restaurants with robust beverage programs. We’re not talking about French 75s and Vodka Sodas, but drinks that bartenders force-carbonate in kegs and dispense via a draft system. While there’s no denying their appeal, this method of carbonating cocktails only gets them so fizzy. In general, their carbonation levels are often more akin to that of a porter or stout rather than a macro lager or a can of seltzer. This isn’t to say that these drinks are lackluster, but the folks behind NYC bar Lullaby…

Ozempic, Hims & Hers, Ro, Wegovy — there’s no shortage of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs on the market right now. And unlike other weight loss supplements of years past, these GLP-1s are relatively easy to acquire. More often than not, a prospective customer takes a quiz, a doctor reviews the results, and a prescription arrives in the mail a few days later. But on top of helping people lose weight, these supplements are said to curb cravings for indulgences like rich foods and alcoholic beverages. Do GLP-1s therefore pose a legitimate threat to the booze industry, or are they too…

We’re gonna go out on a limb and wager that nobody’s ever started a bar fight over a Tom Collins. It’s light, citrusy, fizzy, and just boozy enough to feel like a proper cocktail. Sure, the drink might be a little boring on paper to some, but beyond its simplicity lies one of the great origin stories in cocktail history — complete with fake names, old-time pranks, and a debate over whether “Tom” was even the right guy in the first place. There’s the John Collins, the Gin Punch, the Collins glass, and let’s not forget the 19th-century hoax where…

Irrational fears aside, bees are an important part of any ecosystem, including vineyards. I spoke to beekeepers and vineyard owners to find out why. ‘There isn’t a direct link between the vine and the bee,’ says Victorine Fraisse of Domaine de Villeneuve in Pic St-Loup, north of Montpellier in Languedoc. Her father has been a beekeeper since 1989 and the estate has about 1,000 bee hives. In fact, Vitis vinifera vines are self pollinating, their flowers bearing both male and female reproductive parts. The importance of bees, then, lies in their contribution to the biodiversity of the vineyard ecosystem. They…

Against all odds, another fiscal quarter is in the books. Did you pay your taxes earlier this week? Follow-up question: Why? It’s not like the people running this country do! And yet we soldier on. (Hopefully not literally.) Today, as has become Hop Take tradition, we take stock of the beer industry’s past three-ish months. Think of it like an earnings report, but more fun, and less regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Editorially speaking: Sh*t is gnarly out there, man. There are trade wars abroad, and a war on the Constitution here at home. Is beer really recession-proof?…

When Simon Kim meets me at Coqodaq, his Korean fried chicken restaurant in Manhattan, he’s dressed for business and ready to let loose. He tucks into a curved banquette toward the back of the dining room and waves down a server. “Can we get three juice shots with vitamins and ginger?” he says, before turning my way with a conspiratorial grin. “Let’s chug these.” Kim, 43, is a fine-dining maverick. After starting his career on the Las Vegas Strip, he landed in New York, managing fine-dining restaurants for chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Thomas Keller. His restaurants, Coqodaq and the steakhouse…

For more than a decade, a swell of producers have offered inventive alternatives to traditional London Dry gin, expanding the category with approachable expressions that place less emphasis on piney juniper. Similarly, they’ve looked beyond the classic supporting cast of savory herbs and bitter roots to instead focus on vibrant fruits and expressive flowers, all with the added upshot of delivering a sense of place. That’s not to say London Dry doesn’t deserve our attention or isn’t worthy of its status as the standard bearer for the category. Without it, there would be no classically made Dry Martinis or Negronis…
