DistilNews Daily #27

Bonjour !

Comme promis, en ce vendredi 8/04/2022, je vous proposerai en fin de message un petit récap des vrais faux poissons d'avril publiés mercredi dans la dernière newsletter hebdomadaire.

Mais avant cela, voici déjà votre revue quotidienne habituelle :

🥃 Produits

Amber Beverage Group has launched a limited edition bottle in the Baltic states for its Moskovskaya vodka brand, with all profits going to support a Ukraine-focussed charity.

👔 Business

🌵 Mezcal

• Pour les geeks du mezcal, Agave Road Trip a publié un podcast autour de la question de son appellation d'origine, et c'est apparemment pas évident - Source

Profeco, the consumer-protection agency of the Mexican government, ran an analysis of 36 certified mezcal brands. They flagged a bunch of them for various violations, including the claim that Mezcal Gusano Rojo doesn’t even qualify as mezcal. What?! We drag out the dead horse that is the mezcal denomination of origin for another beating in this episode of Agave Road Trip!
