At the beginning of September 2015, a new wine magazine appeared on the scene. “Schluck“, which is German for “sip”, is published independently, twice per year, on a relatively small scale. Their first edition was a huge hit, but publishers Julia Klüber, Paul Truszkowski and Christian Schärmer paused only to uncork a few celebratory bottles of wine before going straight back to work on the next issue, devoted to the topic of natural wines. Natural wine had always been a trend that I had never quite understood, yet after reading the article by Christoph Raffelt, I can finally tell you the difference between conventionally produced wines, organic wines, biodynamic wines and natural wines! The other topics which feature in this latest March edition range from a round-up of the most beautiful typography and design found on wine labels, to a look at the craft beer process – brewing is an art too, after all. The magazine is informative, well designed, entertaining and is as equally devoted to the people behind the wine industry as the wine itself. Read it curled up on the sofa (accompanied by a glass of wine, of course), and you’ll never be lost for words at a wine list again. (Text: Helen von der Höden / Photo: Daniel Farò)
