Italy Supplement 2005
Published: 23 July, 2008
In celebrating Italy's diversity, we have tried to cover as many regions as we can between this summer and the rest of the year, focusing especially on those lesserknown ones, such as Basilicata included in this supplement and Trentino in the accompanying issue. We have also asked some of the top experts writing on Italian wine for the UK market, Nicolas Belfrage MW, Michael Palij MW and Franco Ziliani, to look at some of the themes that underpin Italy's modern vinous identity: the tensions between indigenous and imported' grape varieties, between traditional and modern' vinification techniques and between big brands and smaller producers.

Published: 23 July, 2008
The ancient Greeks introduced viticulture in the south of Italy, naming Italy Oenotria after the Greek word for wine, oinos. Since then, Puglia has played a key role in the Italian wine scene. For many years the region was an anonymous source of bulk wines, often used to enhance well-known wines in France as well as Italy. Although one can still see truckloads from the south on their way north, Puglia is now claiming its own place in the national and international wine world. It is widely regarded as the Promised Land'.
Read more...Logistics Supplement 2005
Published: 23 July, 2008
It somehow seems appropriate for this logistics report to be delivered as a supplement - as an accessory to the main
issue of Harpers. In this discrete format, it represents the way that many people in the wine trade consider logistics as an adjunct to their real' business.
But this view is short-sighted, and potentially costly. Yes, the UK industry is largely about marketing and sales; but
fulfilment remains the key to success. So while various distribution functions may be very sensibly outsourced, they are delegated and then essentially marginalised at peril.
Logistics processes have too great an impact on the products and services offered by almost every wine business to merit less than regular and thoughtful attention.
