Chi scommette sui dealcolati 

???? The No-Low alcohol trend in the UK is forecasted to grow by 7% annually from 2024 to 2028, building on significant growth over 2023. Wine fairs are dedicating more space to No-Low products, with new alcohol-free shops opening in Bordeaux's center. Events like Prowein in 2022 and Wine Paris have featured No-Low alcohol, with Vinitaly 2025 announcing a focus on the sector after Italy approved the production of non-alcoholic wines. Celebrities like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Kylie Minogue, Lewis Hamilton, and Tom Holland have launched No-Low alcohol brands. Familia Torres invests €6 million for a dedicated non-alcoholic winery in Catalonia, while Bordeaux's Belles Grappes shop symbolizes the industry's shift toward No-Low offerings.

Operazione Alpitour Msc dietro le quinte

🏖️ Gianluigi Aponte's MSC Group, which includes brands such as MSC Cruises, Cisalpina, Blu Vacanze, and Going, made a pre-Christmas offer for Andrea Ruben Levi's approx. 36% stake in Alpitour. Last week, Tamburi Investment Partners (TIP) raised their stake in the tour operator to 94.661%. The acquisition cost roughly €200 million, with Alpitour's revenue reported at €2.1 billion, a 7% increase from the previous year. Estimates suggest a 15-20% increase in economic and financial prospects for the current year and beyond, with the group's 27 hotels valued at €900 million. This move intensifies the battle for Alpitour, with MSC potentially aiming for 100% ownership, including the acquisition of Neos.
