The market read

What a sommelier-consultant would tell you about this market

This is placeholder text standing in for the market read. The real paragraphs are written from the numbers on this page — the price bands, the sparkling depth, the canon list — and from nothing else.

A second placeholder paragraph sits here so the preview has the shape of the real thing: three to five short paragraphs, each one grounded in a figure you can check for yourself above.

The last placeholder paragraph closes on what the neighborhood pours most and where its list-building habits sit. Create a free account to read the real one.

About this scan

A neighborhood here is a centre point and a radius, not a drawn boundary, so a venue near the edge can appear in two neighboring scans. By-the-glass pours are the rows a list marks as glass, plus bottle-priced rows under half of retail and under $60 — the mislabelled-glass pattern published lists are full of. Figures refresh daily.
