What are you In the Mood for?
Welcome to In the mood for wine, a newsletter for the next-gen of wine lovers, collectors and investors, written and edited by me — Sara Danese.
In the mood for wine provides analysis, commentary, and curated links on the fine wine world.
Here’s an example:
Subscribers also receive well-researched, off-the-beaten-path long-form pieces. These investigations are meant to give a top-down view of fine wine as an asset class and in the broader economic context, such as the one below.

Warning: the arguments are so compelling that they may change your mind! 😂
The name of this newsletter comes from one of my favourite movies of all times — In the Mood for Love, by Wong Kar-Wai.
It’s a love story between two lonely neighbours in 1962 Hong Kong, who begin to realize that their spouses have been cheating on them. Originally titled A Story of Food, it’s much more a love story about the food culture of 1960s Hong Kong —from curbside noodle stalls (dai pai dong 大排档) to European lavish meals.
I, too, want to share stories of wine, and maybe some of them will be love stories.
