The week in pictures

This week in the world of drinks: legendary skater Tony Hawk has partnered with Flaviar for Father’s Day, a candle has been launched that smells like bottomless brunch, and Corona opens a beach bar using nothing but sand and sustainable materials.

Skateboarding icon Tony Hawk partners with Flaviar – a club for spirits enthusiasts that helps members level up their spirits knowledge – for a special Father’s Day campaign.

A new candle has been released that smells just like bottomless brunch, specifically a Mimosa. Justmylook has launched the candle amid surging interest in bottomless brunches as lockdown eases.

And if you’re still in the hunt for boozy-themed accessories, then fashion retailer Nasty Gal has launched a wine tote bag, perfect for transporting your favourite drop to and from a sunny day at the park. You can find out more about the wine tote bag, and buy one for yourself, by clicking here.

Beer giant Corona has made the UK’s first ever beach bar built from sand and 100% natural materials, intended to leave behind no trace when it is finished. At the end of its residency, the Cornwall bar’s every element will be returned to nature or recycled.

Vins de Bourgogne hosted a Zoom tasting this week shining a light on some of the new players representing the next generation in the revered French region.

Among them was Lisa Saumaize of Domaine Saumaize-Michelin in Pouilly-Fuissé, who spoke of her estate’s conversion to biodynamics in 2006 in response to climate change, and a desire to seek out drought-resistant rootstocks as temperatures continue to climb.

Also showcasing their wines was Camille Feuillat of Domaine Feuillat-Juillot, who gained valuable experience in California’s Napa Valley, and then headed to the Languedoc before returning to Burgundy to join her mother in the running of their estate.

During the tasting she spoke of the domaine’s gradual move towards organic practices, and her hunger to innovate, having been the first winery in Montagny to make a wine in terracotta pots.

Completing the trio was Lauriane André of Domaine Françoise André in Beaune, who spoke of her estate’s switch from selling their grapes to producing bottled wine in 2009. André said it is increasingly common to find female domaine owners and managers in Bourgogne, and that the trend is only going to grow.

And Crystal Head Vodka has released a Pride Edition Magnum, with a percentage of sales going to the brand’s charity partner Kaleidoscope Trust, the international LGBT+ human rights charity. The bottle, which launched on 1 June, retails for £140 at Selfridges.
