Orange wine has been all over TikTok and Instagram shaking up the gradient of white, rosé, and red shades typically associated with wine. That's doubly true for Tinto Amorio's bottles thanks to the stylish packaging and photogenic pours. But, what is it anyways? There are no orange grapes. Instead, keeping the skins and seeds of white grapes intact at least partly through the fermentation process gives the color in the glass.

"If it wasn't posted on social, did it even happen?" While that statement may not apply to all of life's events, when it comes to travel, I think we've all been guilty of sharing a pic or two of a cool destination we've had the good fortune of visiting. So it stands to reason that very few people book a holiday or hotel without doing their research —and, increasingly, that means going beyond reviews to search photos and videos that their friends or other consumers have posted online.

"Why are so many tourists visiting Mexico?" says Gilberto Kavil Ché, our guide from Mayan-owned cooperative, Community Tours Sian Ka'an. "Because of our ancient cultures, and our nature. That's it." The breeze tickles the grasses that surround the channel of swimming pool-blue water. There's an occasional splash as tiny fish breach the surface.

I hesitate to write this letter because I firmly believe that domestic abusers should not be allowed to have firearms. However, I think Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was right in his dissent of the court's decision upholding the law disarming respondents in domestic abuse restraining order cases ("Gun law to disarm abusers is upheld," June 22).

ST. LOUIS — Anheuser-Busch InBev's beer sales dropped by $1.5 billion in North America last year, but its nonalcoholic beer sales are exceeding expectations, a shift experts credit to consumers becoming more health-conscious and beverage choices expanding. The company's no-alcohol beer portfolio, which includes Budweiser Zero, Stella Artois 0.O'Doul's and Busch NA, saw revenue growth "in the high teens," according to A-B's annual report.

2024 has started off with a bang for state privacy law developments. Only two months into the new year, there has been significant enforcement activity in California and Connecticut - with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) winning a key court case that allows it to begin immediate enforcement of its revised California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations; the California Attorney General's office (California AG) announcing its second-ever enforcement decision under the CCPA and continuing with its enforcement "sweeps;" and the Connecticut Attorney General's office (Connecticut AG) releasing a report providing insights into its active enforcement of the state's comprehensive privacy law - the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA).
