The sake trap is set up!

Are the Brazilians going to perform magic in the vineyard as well as on the field? Is the English sparkling wine going to bear up against the Italian Primitivo? And how accurate will the Sawaya Matsumoto Junmai from Japan be?


Flaschenpost.ch invites you to the Wine World Cup 2014 and its ambassador Gilbert Gress does the analysis of the 32 WC finalists with soccer expertise and vinic knowledge.

Die Gegner fürchten die `Sake-Falle`. Doch Japan hat viel mehr zu bieten: auf dem Fussballfeld eine Mannschaft mit vielen Spielern aus den europäischen Topligen und beträchtlichem Offensivpotenzial - und in der Flasche einen Tropfen wie Samt und Seide. Überraschungspotenzial! 
Gilbert Gress - to the video analysis.
