Coravin’s pioneering technology allows sommeliers and bartenders to serve their guests fine wines by the glass. The remaining wine stays in the bottle, completely unaffected, and it can be enjoyed in perfect condition at a later date. Coravin founder Greg Lambrecht created the world tour last year in a bid to bring his invention to more establishments. Fifteen venues spread across four countries took part in the inaugural Coravin World Wine Tour, but it has really taken off this year.

Rats have been lumbered with a terrible reputation ever since they spread the Black Death back in the 14th century. They’ve been consigned to the shadows for hundreds of years, lurking in sewers and scraping by on whatever they can scavenge from the streets. However, they could be in line for an exciting career change after a group of rats aced an in-depth wine sniffing test.

Just 130 decanters of Bowmore ARC-54 will be available on a global basis, and the limited-edition whisky will carry a £71,000 price tag. This is the final release in a high-profile collaboration between the Islay distillery and the luxury British sports car manufacturer. Each handblown decanter draws inspiration from the aerodynamic exterior of the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. For any petrolheads, that includes the full-length venturi tunnels, which contribute to around 1,100kg of downforce.

The Stitzel-Weller distillery created the Van Winkle Selection for the 2007 Kentucky Bourbon Festival. Sotheby’s assigned this ultra-rare bottle a pre-sale estimate of $30,000 to $50,000, but it easily exceeded expectations at the auction. The Van Winkle Selection ended up becoming the most valuable single bottle of post-prohibition American whiskey ever sold at auction.

Chateau Montelena put Californian Chardonnay on the map when it secured a shock victory at the 1976 Judgement of Paris. The winery’s 1973 Chardonnay earned the highest overall grade in that blind tasting, finishing ahead of the finest Meursault and Puligny Montrachet. Chateau Montelena has gone from strength to strength in the ensuing years, but it now has one eye on the future.
