From Atlantic Albariño to sommelier-endorsed Sherries, this year’s Spain Report dives into the latest news, trends and releases across Spanish wines, beer and spirits.

Ever fancied finding out where the world’s oldest DO is? Spoiler alert: it’s somewhere in southern Spain. Or perhaps you’d like to know which major company has snapped up a well-known winery in Valdeorras to expand its white wine empire.

From the wine brand chaperoning Spain’s national football teams through their World Cup preparations to a new luxury wine train scheduled to chunter through Spanish wine country, db has the lowdown on all of it.

Open our Spain Report 2025 and you’ll also discover what part of Spain boasts the most expensive vineyard land, and the producer giving a whole new life to a popular native Spanish grape by using it to brew beer.

Not only that, we’ve also got one of the first interviews given by new Rioja DOCa president Raquel Pérez Cuervas, and have blind-tasted 122 Rioja wines to crown one of them our Grand Master of 2025.
