The Flipboard magazine "LIQUOR INDUSTRY NEWS 10-25-25" curated by @MarkLenzi, covers several recent topics in the beverage industry, including:
- Craft Beer Trends: The end of the "craft brewery-loving IPA guy" is suggested, with reports of declining craft beer sales and a decreasing focus on highly specific hop and flavor profiles. There is also an article explaining why IPAs and hot wings are a poor food pairing.
- Wine: The magazine features a closer look at the world of Mexican wine and lists eight highly-rated Prosecco values from the Veneto region of Italy.
