Published:  20 January, 2017

In case you missed some of the headlines this week on harpers.co.uk, we have put together a review of the top online news, Q&As, and opinion stories.

Most Read: Harpers kicked off 2017 with our first ever Think Rum event, when we celebrated the best and the brightest of this growing category. 

Elsewhere, Pinkster Gin continued its development and the UKVA announced that it was applying to turn the phrase "British Fizz" into a PGI for English sparkling wine. 

New World Wonders: The New World is coming to London again next week with the Australia Day Tasting, but this week the focus was on wines from the country's cousins in New Zealand.

While the debate about regionality continues to dominate conversations, we also looked at how the category's next challenge is to communicate its premium message and get consumers to trade up.

Analysis and insights: This week we looked at how growing demand for zero alcohol options is forcing the trade to sit up and take notice. 

We also took a look ahead at what the trade can expect from the dominant category in the UK's annual trade tasting when ADT comes to town next week.
