the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council officially launched its Sustainability Certification at the INC headquarters in Reus, during the research event, NUTS 2025. The launch marks a milestone for the industry, introducing the first-ever sustainability certification designed exclusively for the global nut and dried fruit sector. On October 13, 2025, the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council officially launched its Sustainability Certification at the INC headquarters in Reus, during the research event, NUTS 2025. The launch marks a milestone for the industry, introducing the first-ever sustainability certification designed exclusively for the global nut and dried fruit sector. INC Executive Director Goretti Guasch commented, "For the nut and dried fruit industry and the INC, sustainability is a strategic priority. While many existing certifications include sustainability components, none have been tailored to address the unique characteristics and challenges of this industry. This certification has been created by the industry, for the industry." While the industry has already made significant strides in sustainability, this certification highlights those achievements and drives even greater progress. It enables companies worldwide to stand out in a sustainability-driven marketplace, offering tailored criteria that reflect the unique roles across the value chain. The INC Sustainability Certification provides companies with a clear framework to prioritize actions, align with best practices, and meet verified sustainability standards across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. Present at the launch, INC Executive Committee members highlighted the certification's impact across the global supply chain. Growers, often multigenerational family operations, have long practiced methods that protect soil, water, air, and biodiversity forming the foundation for sustainable production. The certification builds on these practices by implementing governance standards that ensure fair treatment of employees and suppliers, extending sustainability from the farm to consumer. Market demand is also rising for sustainable products, with large markets such as China driving transformative change. Lastly, they added that the Certification supports both small and large companies with practical guidance covering areas from carbon footprint reduction and Zero Waste initiatives to responsible agricultural inputs. Ashok Krishen, INC Chairman, concluded: "In today's world, sustainability is not a 'nice to have' — it is the right thing to do. We are proud to pioneer and advance sustainable practices, ensuring our industry continues to grow responsibly and sustainably into the future."

The initiative explores the intersection of contemporary Austrian cuisine and traditional coffee house rituals, positioning coffee and tea as central ingredients rather than mere accompaniments. Vienna-based coffee roaster Julius Meinl has partnered with culinary duo KUBUS to debut a new experiential dining concept, the "Brunch Club." The initiative explores the intersection of contemporary Austrian cuisine and traditional coffee house rituals, positioning coffee and tea as central ingredients rather than mere accompaniments. Developed in partnership with Jung von Matt DONAU and produced by Bagage, the concept taps into the post-pandemic resurgence of supper and brunch clubs, catering to a growing consumer desire for intimate, curated culinary experiences that emulate high-end hospitality in domestic or non-traditional settings. Culinary Innovation and Menu Design Elena and Peter of KUBUS—whose backgrounds span Michelin-starred kitchens such as Taubenkobel Burgenland and Jordnær Copenhagen—designed a multi-course menu that reinterprets Austrian classics. The dishes utilise Julius Meinl’s premium coffee and loose-leaf tea ranges as core flavour components. Highlights from the inaugural menu included: Buchteln: Served with a vanilla sauce infused with Julius Meinl Organic Rooibos Wintery Days tea. Flambéed Pancakes: Accompanied by a caramel sauce infused with Premium Espresso. Tafelspitz: Gently poached in Organic Treasure of Asia loose-leaf tea, paired with apple horseradish. Savoury Innovations: Black tea–cured eggs in Organic Assam Gold with Sencha Green Tea salt; baked pumpkin glazed with Premium Crema coffee grounds and oil; and a Coffee Knödel with sauerkraut and coffee jus. Beverage preparation showcased various brewing methods, including espresso machine, Bialetti, AeroPress, and Chemex. The 'Home Hospitality' Trend The launch aligns with shifting consumer behaviours regarding premium dining. "Supper and Brunch clubs have surged in popularity since the pandemic as diners seek intimate, one-off culinary experiences," the company noted. This trend reflects a broader movement where consumers are increasingly bringing high-end gastronomic standards into private spaces. Andreea Postolache , Global Marketing & Sales Director at Julius Meinl Coffee Group, commented on the strategy: "There's a fascinating dialogue between what people are creating at home and the innovations happening in cafés and restaurants. People are bringing high-end gastronomy into their homes more than ever, and you can really see it in coffee culture. It's an exciting moment to rethink how we use coffee and tea as both pairings and ingredients, and the Brunch Club was exactly the right format for it." Elena Kubiena of KUBUS emphasised the philosophical alignment between the cuisine and the coffee brand: "In Austria, coffee rituals are really rituals of time. We slow down, we savour and we connect. Food follows the same philosophy. There is real value in the time devoted to crafting a dish or preparing a coffee and then sharing it with people you enjoy."

O’Neill Vintners & Distillers has announced a significant innovation within the "better-for-you" alcohol category, launching FitVine Free under its popular FitVine Wine brand. O’Neill Vintners & Distillers has announced a significant innovation within the "better-for-you" alcohol category, launching FitVine Free under its popular FitVine Wine brand. The release marks a divergence from standard production methods in the non-alcoholic (NA) sector. Rather than utilising dealcoholisation processes—which involve fermenting wine and then removing the ethanol—FitVine Free is crafted using a base of California verjus (early-harvest grape juice). This approach is designed to retain natural acidity and freshness while delivering a functional beverage fortified with electrolytes and adaptogens. Production Methodology and Formulation The strategic choice to use verjus allows the Certified B Corp company to bypass the flavor stripping often associated with dealcoholisation. Winemaker Steven DeCosta has layered real fruit juice onto this base to build complexity. Functional Specifications: Hydration: All varietals are fortified with electrolytes, specifically potassium and magnesium. Adaptogens: The flagship "Power Red" is enhanced with ginseng and passionflower to support "balance and resilience." Nutritional Profile: Each serving contains less than 35 calories , no added sugar, and less than 0.5% ABV . Portfolio The FitVine Free lineup launches with three distinct styles designed to cover key wine consumption occasions: 🍷 Power Red (Petite Sirah): A robust profile featuring blackberry, plum, blueberry, and oak notes. Functional Focus: Adaptogens. 🥂 Sparkling White (Chardonnay): Notes of ripe apple, peach, oak, and white tea. 🍾 Sparkling Rosé (Pinot Noir): A blend of raspberry, strawberry, and citrus blossom. Jeff O’Neill , Founder and CEO, framed the launch as a move to disrupt the category's pricing structure and quality expectations: “FitVine Free is proof that ‘better-for-you’ can still taste great. We saw an opportunity to lead the category forward—not just with non-alcoholic wine, but with a functional option that delivers on flavor, quality, and nearly half the price of most other wines in this category.” The range aims to serve consumers seeking the ritual of wine without the alcohol, positioning itself as a "lifestyle" beverage suitable for weekday dinners and social celebrations alike.
