Récolte abondante, millésime “exceptionnel” et demande toujours en hausse: l’édition 2022 de la vente des vins des Hospices de Beaune, les plus anciennes enchères caritatives au monde, a fait exploser tous les compteurs.

“Les résultats sont historiques et spectaculaires”: le directeur des Hospices civils de Beaune (Côte-d’Or), François Poher, n’a pas pu empêcher son enthousiasme après la flambée des prix de la 162e vente des vins de l’établissement hospitalier.

Avec une recette totale de 28,978 millions d’euros (sans les frais), ces enchères ont plus que doublé le précédent record établi en 2018 (13,97 M EUR).

“Exceptionnel”. “Incroyable”. “Inimaginable”. Les superlatifs ont ainsi fusé parmi les 800 acheteurs réunis sous les Halles de Beaune, capitale des vins de Bourgogne. 

Le prix moyen du fût de vin a lui aussi connu un nouveau plus-haut, à 35.974 euros (+8%).

L’abondance de la récolte 2022 avait certes déchaîné les prévisions de nouveaux records mais sans anticiper un tel niveau.

Cette année en effet, le nombre de lots était exceptionnel: 802 pièces étaient à prendre, non loin du plus-haut de 843 lots en 2018.

C’est que la récolte a été abondante en 2022 en Bourgogne, les importantes pluies de juin ayant permis à la vigne de bien résister à la sécheresse estivale au point de donner un millésime “exceptionnel”.

“On est passé d’un extrême à l’autre: du millésime 2021, le plus petit depuis 40 ans, à un millésime très abondant”, résume Amayès Aouli, directeur Europe chez Sotheby’s Wine, organisateur de la vente.

Les vendanges 2021 avaient en effet été amputées de moitié par un gel printanier dévastateur. Seuls 356 fûts avaient été proposés à la vente cette année-là, du jamais vu depuis 1977.

Après la rareté de 2021, l’abondance de 2022 a aiguisé “l’appétit des acheteurs”, explique M. Aouli. “Après les années Covid et les restrictions de voyage, beaucoup de clients sont venus de loin”, ajoute-t-il.

La Chinoise Lin Legun, acheteuse pour des clients de l’Empire du Milieu, est de ceux-là. Les vins de Bourgogne intéressent “énormément” les Chinois, explique-t-elle à l’AFP. “Et quand l’Asie se met à aimer un produit rare…”, poursuit-elle dans une allusion à la récente flambée des prix.

 – “La demande ne cesse d’augmenter” –

“La demande pour les vins de Bourgogne ne cesse d’augmenter”, renchérit Marie-Anne Ginoux, directrice de Sotheby’s France, qui souligne que sa maison a établi en 2021 un montant record de ses ventes de vin, à 132 millions de dollars, réalisés à près de moitié par des Bourgogne.

En fin d’après-midi déjà, la “pièce des présidents”, un fût de prestige traditionnellement dédié à une œuvre caritative autre que les Hospices, avait déjà atteint un nouveau record à 810.000 euros, contre 800.000 euros l’an dernier.

“Bravo à tous”, avait alors lancé du haut de l’estrade Frédéric Drouhin, président de la grande maison de vins bourguignonne qui porte son nom, après avoir remporté au sein d’un collectif de négociants des enchères folles.

La recette de cette “pièce”, comme on appelle en Bourgogne ce fût de 228 litres (288 bouteilles), était réservée aux associations d’aide à l’enfance Princesse Margot et Vision du Monde. 

“Ce qu’il y a de plus déprimant, c’est de voir un enfant souffrir”, a déclaré M. Drouhin, qui a lui-même perdu une fille d’un cancer. 

“En France, 2.500 enfants sont chaque jour atteints de cancer dont 20% ne survivront pas”, a rappelé Muriel Hattab, présidente de Princesse Margot, nom de sa fille qui n’a pas survécu à la maladie.

“Bravo”, s’est également enflammé l’acteur Benoît Magimel, venu faire monter les enchères avec l’animatrice Flavie Flament, sous les hourras des  acheteurs.

Outre la “pièce des présidents”, le produit des autres lots est destiné aux équipements et à la rénovation des quatre hôpitaux et six Ehpad, soit un millier de lits que regroupent actuellement les Hospices civils.

Ces derniers ne reçoivent aucune aide de l’État pour ces dépenses qui sont donc entièrement financées par les vignes données aux Hospices depuis leur fondation, en 1443.

COP27 Closes With Deal On Loss And Damage – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

After days of intense negotiations that stretched into early Sunday morning in Sharm el-Sheikh, countries at the latest UN Climate Change Conference, COP27, reached agreement on an outcome that established a funding mechanism to compensate vulnerable nations for ‘loss and damage’ from climate-induced disasters.

“This COP has taken an important step towards justice. I welcome the decision to establish a loss and damage fund and to operationalize it in the coming period,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in a video message issued from the conference venue in Egypt, underscoring that the voices of those on frontlines of the climate crisis must be heard.

The UN chief was referring to what ended up becoming the thorniest issue at this COP, shorthand for the annual Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Developing countries made strong and repeated appeals for the establishment of a loss and damage fund, to compensate the countries that are the most vulnerable to climate disasters, yet who have contributed little to the climate crisis.

“Clearly this will not be enough, but it is a much-needed political signal to rebuild broken trust,” he underscored, stressing that the UN system will support the effort every step of the way.Ahead of action on the texts, COP27 President Sameh Shoukry, who is also the Foreign Minister of Egypt, told delegations that the draft decisions were “a gateway that will scale up implementation and will enable us to transform to future of climate future neutrality and climate resilient development.”

“I call upon all of you to view these draft decisions not merely as words on paper but as a collective message to the world that we have heeded the call of our leaders and of current and future generations to set the right pace and direction for the implementation of the Paris agreement and the achievement of its goals.”Mr. Shoukry added: “The world is watching, I call on us all to rise to the expectations entrusted to us by the global community, and especially by those who are most vulnerable and yet have contributed the least to climate change.”

After missing their Friday night deadline, negotiators were finally able to reach conclusions on the most difficult items of the agenda, including a loss and damage facility – with a commitment to set up a financial support structure for the most vulnerable by the next COP in 2023 – as well as the post-2025 finance goal, and the so-called mitigation work programme, that would reduce emissions faster, catalyze impactful action, and secure assurances from key countries that they will take immediate action to raise ambition and keep us on the path towards 1.5°C.

Yet, while agreement on these issues was seen as a welcome step in the right direction, there appeared to be little forward movement on other key issues, particularly on the phasing out of fossil fuels, and tightened language on the need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Observers have warned that new language including “low emissions” energy alongside renewables as the energy sources of the future is a significant loophole, as the undefined term could be used to justify new fossil fuel development against the clear guidance of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Fairy House: The story behind the little house

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: INews Guyana

By Andrew Carmichael

The Sunshine Garden, which is situated at Now or Never, Mahaicony, Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice), and known as the Fairy House, is the ideal place for beautiful nature photographs without going to an expensive faraway resort.

Known for its serenity, the Sunshine Garden combines tropical flowers with exotic shrubs and displays them in the most attractive way.

It is equipped with a chapel and is quite suitable for weddings, as it also carries a “Just Married” sign with an extended nature background.

The Sunshine Garden is a must see, even if it is just for five minutes on a trip to Berbice or from Berbice to the capital, Georgetown.

It might just be the only tourist destination that is free, or still free.

Owner and operator Nadira Pooran said she did not set out to have a tourist site, noting that most persons are initially attracted by the ‘Fairy House’ which is a unique house now filled with storybooks for kids and other items for them to play with.

These only came into being after the house started getting so much of attention.

“It is what the people make it,” Pooran said with a chuckle when this publication asked what Sunshine Garden was all about.

“Whatever you see here I always loved but it seems like people love it more than me,” the chuckle continued.

The building was constructed as a prayer house and initially used for that purpose.

The 55-year-old farmer said while moving the house from its former location at De Kinderen to its current location at Now or Never, persons were taking pictures of it as they had it on a truck along the road.

When the house was set up at its new location, people just started visiting to take pictures as they were fascinated with it.

Pooran said while it was not her intention to have it as a tourist attraction, she is not disappointed that it turned out this way.

“I make new friends every day.”

While it is not a business venture, Pooran said she is thinking about making it one.

“It needs maintenance so I am thinking about turning it into a business.”

The facility, apart from having a corner for weddings, is also equipped with a changing room and washroom.

Unfortunately, many times when people go, Pooran and her husband are at the farm and not available to entertain them.

Speaking on the investment needed to take the facility where she now wants it to be, Pooran said she needs to provide a better washroom and a cafeteria. She said she would also like to upgrade the walkway around the facility.

“But we can’t afford it right now and nobody don’t really help you. The Government never really help me or give me anything. I would like them to help me to get a little walkway, a washroom and a cafeteria…”

She said she once approached the Government seeking assistance but was denied.“One time they were giving money to small businesses but when I approached them, they said that it is closed, so I didn’t get anything.”

That was earlier this year, Pooran added, while noting that First Lady Arya Ali also visited the facility.

“She came to visit but she didn’t offer anything.”

“I would be happy if we can get a little help from anybody because we can’t really afford to maintain this place.”

Pooran said she would be willing to enter into a partnership with businesspersons who are willing to assist.

Meanwhile, Acting Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority, Kamrul Baksh when asked by this publication of plans to aid in the development of that tourist facility said he is unaware of any plans to try to assist that facility.

“It would certainly do well if we can meet with the facility owner to share some ideas to enhance the area. It is certainly one of the more popular stops on the route (referring to tourist destinations the media was taken to). There are others on the route. In fact, we are exploring other areas that we can work on; for example, there is an owner with several ranches that we want to work with and to open the area up.”

He said there are many attractions that are not as popular as the Fairy House and the role of the GTA is to ensure that those come to light.

Hosts Qatar beaten by Ecuador in World Cup opener

Hosts Qatar opened the 2022 FIFA World Cup in calamitous fashion, easily beaten by Ecuador in a humbling defeat at Al Bayt.

Felix Sanchez’s men have been together in camp for the last six months to prepare for the tournament and work on tactics, but a nervous and disjointed performance led to a Group A loss.

With Africa Cup of Nations champions Senegal and three-time finalists the Netherlands to come, this looked like Qatar’s easiest game on paper but they were totally outplayed.

A dramatic opening to the contest saw Enner Valencia’s header from close range ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee, but the South Americans did break the deadlock shortly after.

Qatar’s erratic goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb brought Valencia down in the box and the ex-West Ham forward stepped up to convert the spot-kick.

It got worse for the hosts as Valencia powered in another header before half-time to leave the Al Bayt Stadium silenced at the break.

Many supporters who had left the stadium at the interval did not return, leaving the ground around half empty for much of the second period.

It contributed to a flat atmosphere both off and on the pitch, with Romario Ibarra’s curling shot being pushed out by Al-Sheeb.

Star men Almoez Ali and captain Hassan Al Haydos were both substituted with 20 minutes remaining, and the side were unable to muster a shot on target.

Ecuador, meanwhile, have set themselves up in a superb position to progress, extending their excellent recent form to one defeat in 16 games and keeping a clean sheet in their last seven.

They were clearly the better side and had the ball in the back of the net after 160 seconds, but Valencia’s close range header was ruled for offside by VAR.

There was confusion as to why the goal did not stand, but Felix Torres’ initial challenge with the goalkeeper fell to Michael Estrada in an offside position.

Ecuador were all over Qatar, whose goalkeeper Al Sheeb was particularly shaky and he brought down Valencia, who coolly rolled in the penalty.

Qatar barely had a sniff and their first shot came in anger when defender Abdelkarim Hassan strode forward but his effort from range was blazed wildly over.

Star man Ali, who scored nine goals in the Asian Cup triumph, struggled to get into the game and headed wide, while Pedro Miguel headed did the same in the second half.

With much of the crowd already leaving to go home, Akram Afif and substitute Mohammed Muntari both smashed over to bring to an end a disappointing opening evening for Qatar. [Extracted from BBC Sport]

ECCB Encourages Due Diligence Before Investing In Crypto Assets – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) is aware of the recent collapse of FTX (registered as FTX Digital Markets Ltd) headquartered in The Bahamas, which was reported to be a significant player in the crypto space.

The Securities Commission of The Bahamas has since suspended the registration of this entity and appointed provisional liquidators for FTX Digital Markets Ltd.  Regulatory action by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas is ongoing. This has not been the first significant fallout in the crypto space this year.

In light of these unfortunate events, the ECCB encourages the public to exercise due diligence and to be mindful of the high level of risk crypto-assets present. Crypto-assets are inherently volatile and speculative.

As such, consumers should be aware of the risk of the loss of their investment, fraud and cyber-attacks, especially in jurisdictions where the sector is unregulated.
