(TheDrinksBusiness) - Once more, the drinks business has engaged Liv-ex – the global marketplace for the fine wine trade – to assess the world’s most powerful fine wine brands. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s power cements the notion that Burgundies are the new darling of the fine wine trade. And although each year yields different results, 2012’s survey is a marked departure from the usual Bordeaux-dominant list. Notably, a quick scan over the tables, printed in full in the December edition of the drinks business (and November’s issue of the Hong Kong edition) attests to the rising demand for Burgundy, confirming the Asian collector’s thirst for famous growers along the Côte d’Or. But the boost to Burgundy is not the only development – Right Bank Bordeaux also seems to be performing well.
