I am trying to decide whether Bemuse Drinks is an example of brilliant new product development, or brilliant really, really old product development. Either way its brilliant. In the ever-evolving landscape of drinks innovation, Anna Chalov and Nataliya Peretrutova, have taken Mead - one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to humanity - and reimagined it into a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. From something synonymous with the Anglo-Saxons, banqueting halls and ancient rituals, into an incredibly elegant product that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, and sustainability with indulgence. And it takes one of The Big Drink Rethink principles of mindful drinking, to another level. Encouraging us to consider whether what we drink is not just good for us, but is also good for the planet. Not just ‘not bad’ for the environment, but genuinely supportive of biodiversity, communities and the wonderful honey bee 🍯 As an ex-brand strategist I was in my happy place – a clear vision, a brilliant brand story, bold leaps, bee-autiful branding (see what I’ve done there?) a business built on strong ethical values and B-Corp affirmation off everything that they’re doing 🌍 Listen in to the latest episode of The Big Drink Rethink podcast to hear Anna talk about how they brought this unique product to life.

🌱 Sustainability in Gastronomy: Our Role in Every Dish 🌱 In recent years, there's been a powerful shift toward sustainability in the culinary world, but this responsibility goes beyond the kitchen. As a chef, I believe each dish should tell a story of respect for both ingredients and the people behind them. From producer to consumer, we all have a part to play. 📍 Today, more than ever, it’s essential to prioritize sustainably sourced ingredients and techniques that honor food while reducing waste. Our mission is to create an authentic, flavorful experience without compromising the positive impact we can make on the world. 💡 What about you? How do you see the role of gastronomy in promoting sustainability? #SustainableGastronomy #SustainabilityInTheKitchen #ChefSilvio #MindfulEating #LessWaste

What is on the horizon for the food and beverage industry? Would you drink wine from a carton? Could you imagine enjoying wine poured from a carton at your next first-class restaurant dinner occasion? Is the traditional glass wine bottle now unsustainable and soon to be a thing of the past? Yesterday's "Turn the Dial" conference in Perth, led by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, challenged everyone's thinking - a package should save more than it costs! Some wine connoisseurs or purists may say, "No way!" But just like corks are a thing of the past, who knew that consumers would welcome that change? And how about how we shop? Reusable bags and refilling containers are now normal practices - feeling good about doing the right thing!  Did you know:   81% of Australians agree that demonstrating a commitment to sustainability adds value to a brand or products 73% are happy to pay more for demonstrated sustainability, eco-friendly practices 58% say they would stop buying a product they had previously been loyal to if they discovered it was not committed to sustainability. Notwithstanding the discussion of the social license, facts about food wastage, and value-adding solutions. These topics are challenging but must be considered by the food and beverage industry. Yesterday, Jacquie Kay from the APC, Jen Riseley from Pomewest, Nicole Giblett from Newton's Orchards and I attended the 2nd Turn the Dial conference at the Perth Convention Centre, which was eye-opening. We'll be sharing key takeaways and industry presentations in the coming weeks as horticulture adapts to changing consumer, retailer, and government-driven considerations in this rapidly evolving landscape Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development #turnthedial #buywesteatbest
