Spring cleaning of my inbox reveals a few consistent themes: The wine world is not immune to the pandemic supply chain woes roiling the global economy; wineries are eager to stoke our wanderlust for when we can finally burst out of isolation; and, of course, cannabis. If your favorite imported wines seem to be low in stock, blame the pandemic. Disruptions in the global supply chain have forced U.S. wine importers to delay shipments of new vintages because containers are not available. The coronavirus has hit shipping companies and dock workers hard, creating backlogs at ports around the world. The Ever Givenâs six-day fiasco in the Suez Canal last month may not have disrupted wine shipping routes, but its ripple effects will affect the availability of ships and containers for all products for weeks. And letâs face it, wine is not the most essential commodity except for a few of us dedicated oenogeeks.
