4.30pm

Wine Intelligence looks at the future of the wine industry and where clever investors should put their money. Investing in real estate in California might be the best option, the firm says (somewhat tongue in cheek), with the audience choosing to do just that ahead of investing in a winery in China, lower abv products for the UK, and natural or organic wines for the UK and Nordic markets.

Louis-Fabrice Latour, head of the family-run Maison Louis Latour, says the company is "getting closer" to its aim of having vineyards in all 10 of Beaujolais' Crus. It currently boasts vineyards in nine of the region's Crus following its acquistion of Fessy. Latour said the company is also planting Pinot Noir in Southern Beaujolais, where "it has never been done on a big scale". "It's a big project," he said.

12.45pm

Andy Phelps, head of BWS at Sainsbury's, tells the Harpers debate that it is working on a raft of new ideas to help better engage with its consumers. He urges the wine trade to look outside its own category and in areas like health and beauty and shower gels which can have a large number of SKUs and yet so much easier to shop.

Joe Wadsack, wine critic blogger, says it is not often what the wine trade says that turns of consumers, but how it is said. If you speak with real passion enthusiasm or write in a truly engaging way then people will listen regardless of how technical the information.

US wine blogger and broadcaster, Christina Pickard, says the UK wine trade needs to relax and have more fun when it talks to consumers about wine. In the US it is far less stuffy and people are not as intimidated about talking about wine.

11.30-12.45pm

11am: Brown Brothers, or should that be Brown Sisters now that Katherine, Caroline and Emma are on board or coming on board?

The three believe they can help engage the next generation of consumers. More to follow.

10:45am: Gonzalez Byass looks pretty in pink as it gets ready to launch Wirra Wirra's Mrs Wigley: a 4.5% abv Moscato in a 50cl bottle with crown seal. Yesterday it launched this year's Tio Pepe En Rama - which has already sold out, according to Jeremy Rockett. He also thinks the London-centric sherry boom is "diversifying" and extending across the country - it has seen double digit volume growth for the last two years for Tio Pepe. More to follow.
