The Mumm, Perrier-Jouët champagnes and Martell Cognac (Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët) have successfully completed a first crossing aboard a TOWT TransOceanic Wind Transport sailing cargo ship from France to the United States! The impressive vessel is the largest built in modern history and the most powerful in its class, the result of a shared vision of pioneering spirit and common ecological convictions between MMPJ and TransOceanic Wind Transport. Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët now plans to make one transatlantic crossing a month and expand the fleet with the longterm ambition to make sailing cargo the primary means of transporting Champagnes and Cognacs to the United States in the long term. "As a player in the luxury world, Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët has a responsibility to set an example by innovating with regard to the environment and making new practices desirable. What was yesterday only an ambitious project for the future, carried out with TOWT, is today a reliable ecological, commercial and technological reality,” says César Giron, President of Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët. This important step is part of a global path towards carbon neutrality by 2050, throughout the entire value chain for our iconic French Champagnes and Cognac.

Ireland is famed for many things; its landscapes, history, culture, and of course it’s whiskey. For a whiskey to be Irish, it must (be spelt with an ‘e’) and also aged for at least three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. 🇮🇪 Irish Distillers is a producer of some of the world’s most well-known and successful Irish whiskeys including Jameson, Redbreast, Midleton Very Rare, Spot Whiskey, Powers, Knappogue Castle and Method and Madness. All of which, are distilled in Midleton, Country Cork in Ireland.

There are 10 million bubbles in every bottle of G.H.Mumm champagne (Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët) 🫧 Unlike still wines, champagne is fermented twice: once in open vats, and then again in bottles. During the fermentation process, a dose of ‘liqueur de tirage’ is added to the champagne bottles, bringing a tiny amount of yeast into contact with the natural sugars found in the wine. The resulting second fermentation releases carbon dioxide, and bubbles start to form gradually inside the sealed bottle in a process known as ‘prise de mousse’. The bubbles are a crucial part in spreading the wine’s aromas and act like a lift for molecules that stimulate our senses.

How many ingredients used to make Absolut Vodka (The Absolut Group) are actually from Sweden? All of them! Every part of the production journey takes place in and around the small village of Åhus in Southern Sweden. Every drop of water, and every seed of wheat comes from one water source, one village, and one community. From grain to glass, here are just some of the ways efforts are being made to improve our products sustainable journey and lifecycle.

Every cap of TX Whiskey is originally designed in a home workshop, giving a personal touch to each bottle. The first caps were made from a pair of old boots belonging to founder Troy Robertson. The leather looked so good on the cap, they used a few in the first bottling of TX Blended Whiskey. The rest is history!

It is so important that the media accurately report on scientific studies on alcohol and health.   The New York Times has just published a misleading article (1) on a new study (2) looking at the health implications of alcohol consumption among older adults, which does not accurately reflect the full extent of the study’s findings.   The article claims the study shows that there are no benefits of light to moderate drinking, and any consumption increases the risk of mortality, especially for cancer. What the study actually suggests is that several other factors affect the relationship between alcohol consumption and mortality risk, including cancer mortality. The study clearly states “low-risk drinking was associated with higher mortality among older adults with health-related or socioeconomic risk factors.”   The study goes on to show that, when adjusting for these factors, “low risk” and “moderate risk” drinkers face the same mortality risk as occasional drinkers*. The study is quite emphatic in this regard: “no associations were found for low- or moderate-risk drinking patterns vs occasional drinking among individuals without socioeconomic or health-related risk factors…”   So, the study’s main finding is that the increased risk for low and moderate drinkers appears to be restricted only to individuals with at least one existing risk factor. Indeed, the study also found a reduced risk of both cancer and all-cause mortality among individuals who consume alcohol with meals.   This research should be considered in the context of the hundreds of studies of alcohol and mortality risks, many of which are meta-analyses (3) (which pool the results of multiple studies and can be a stronger form of evidence) and the World Health Organisation’s most recent publication (4, Table 2.10 p.43) on alcohol and health, which show a lower risk of certain health conditions at low-moderate levels of consumption.   Much of the recent reporting on alcohol and health gives the impression that the consumption of alcohol is responsible for a growing global health crisis. However, the reality is quite different. In their most recent report on alcohol and health from 25 June (4), the WHO set out comprehensive evidence that shows a 20% decline in alcohol-related deaths from 2010 to 2019 around the world.   IARD members acknowledge the potential health consequences of harmful drinking, which is why we promote a culture of moderation and responsibility, among those who choose to drink, including placing moderation messaging on labels and online. But misleading consumers about the risks of low and moderate drinking does not support informed choices. It simply switches people off from important advice about responsible consumption and won’t help further these positive trends.   For all links and footnotes, please see the first comment.
