Wine | Lot 1–279

Madison Auction is delighted to present to you the carefully curated auction that contains 279 lots of fine wines.

Because of the frost in the 2016 harvest season in Burgundy, many wineries don’t have enough grape to make Montrachet individually. Therefore, seven owners of Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard plots, including Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Comtes Lafon, have joined forces to produce a unique blend edition of Montrachet (Lot 252), with only 500 bottles.

Moreover, there are 3 bottles of 1998 Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru (Lot 227~229) with consecutive bottle numbers.

As to the Bordeaux session, Madison Auction offers you the large formats from five First Growths from the best vintages, including 1990 Lafite magnum (Lot 6~7), double magnum of 1986 Mouton Rothschild (Lot 140), and 2005 Mouton Imperial (Lot 141) .

In addition to the fine wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, the French masterpiece in this sale includes 2005 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve from Rhône Valley (Lot 95), in a style of elegance that is comparable to that of the finest Burgundies. Especially since it comes from 2005, one of the best vintages in France in the last two decades, and has an unrivaled ability to be aged in the cellar.

With Lot 107, a collection from two giants of Brunello di Montalcino, lovers of Italian wines can’t afford to miss out on this opportunity.

What’s more…the Italian Barbaresco master Gaja are also featured in this auction. In this sale, there is a wide range of Gaja’s Barbaresco (Lot 201~204) from the 1970s to 2008 vintage, which are definitely Italian classics that can be both consumed and collected.

Sine Qua Non, one of the most prestigious cult wine estate in US, combining bold creativity and excellent quality, made a stunning debut with a few mixed lots from 2003 to 2016 vintage (Lot 188~193). Seize the opportunity!

Hokkaido wines have recently come to international prominence, with Takahiko Nana-Tsu-Mari Pinot Noir becoming one of the most sought-after Japanese boutique wines, with a rare production and seldom-exported portfolio that has whetted the appetites of drinkers. In this sale, the TAKAHIKO EXPERIENCE (Lot 225) even has five vertical vintages from 2014-2018, a rarity at auction.

Whisky | Lot 8001– 8091

Although there are only have 91 lots of whisky in this sale, there are 74 lots with total 278 bottles of Macallan at very affordable prices.

In this sale, there are Macallan 18 YO sherry oak from the affordable 2018 release to the collectible 1968 edition (Lot 8017–8021, 8088–8091), with the starting price at less than HK$2,000!

Madison Auction also has the ‘Distil Your World’ London Limited Edition (Lot 8027), the collaboration with renowned Roca Brothers, with a starting price of only HK$32,000! You certainly cannot miss this one.

Besides, there are one early release of Macallan Archival Series Folio 2 (Lot 8062) and one Macallan Edition Full Set (Lot 8006). In Lot 8004–8005, 8063–8066, there are Edition 1-6, with 6 bottles of each edition in each lot.

For those who like the Macallan official bottlings from the past, consider the 7 YO mixed lots imported from Italy (Lot 8022 & 8067) and the 10 YO bottling from 1980s to the millennium (Lot 8068 & 8070); or for those with a bigger budget, Exceptional Single Cask (Lot 8075 – 8076) would be a great choice.

There are 25 lots, 85 bottles of independent bottling (IB) in this sale. Gordon & MacPhail’s Speymalt is the first choice for drinking IB Macallan, ranging from 1965 to 1995 (Lot 8035–8038).

Cadenhead’s, the oldest independent bottler, has also bottled a number of classic Macallans, including the Dumpy and the Authentic Collection (Lot 8009–8012, 8086). The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a major player in the IB world, especially their first edition. In this auction we have 3 bottles of the old Macallan bottled by SMWS (Lot 8016) with a starting price of only HK$16,000!

Although there are only 17 lots of whiskies which are not Macallan, the quality should not be overlooked. If you’re looking for high ratings, the 1973 Bowmore 16 YO (Lot 8057) bottled by Italian whisky giant Sestante, the Port Ellen 32 YO Special Release 2012 (Lot 8052), and the Keepers of the Quaich Exclusive Boxed Collectors’ Set (Lot 8046) are great choices, which received Whiskyfun scores of 93, 95 and 91 respectively!

For the whisky aficionado, Madison also offers 1965 Glen Elgin and 1973 Ardbeg both bottled from Samaroli (Lot 8058- 8059)! Whisky drinkers looking for an older vintage should look out for the 1939 Glenlivet (Lot 8045), bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, which is the oldest vintage in the sale.

There are some bottles from the discontinued distilleries in this sale, such as Port Ellen, Rosebank and Karuizawa. However, some of the discontinued distilleries such as Littlemill, Imperial, Caperdonich, Glen Mhor and North Port (Brechin) are also rare gems you should not miss out (Lot 8042, 8050–8056).

BitradeX BXC First Two Subscription Rounds Sell Out, Total Subscriptions Exceed 14M USDT

Published

1 hour ago

on

May 9, 2026

By

LONDON, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BitradeX Capital’s ecosystem equity token, BXC, has completed its first and second subscription rounds, selling a total of 50 million BXC with subscriptions exceeding 14 million USDT. The first round sold out in 90 seconds, while the second closed within 48 hours.

While the fundraising size is not unusually large by crypto standards, the structure of the sale has attracted market attention. The first two rounds were not open to the public, but limited to high-tier BitradeX users. The first round was available only to V5 users and above, while the second round expanded access to V3 users and above.

According to BitradeX’s tier system, V3+ users typically have higher recurring investment activity through AiBot, longer platform usage history, and stronger ecosystem participation. This means the early BXC allocation was absorbed mainly by the platform’s internal high-value user base, rather than short-term speculative participants.

This approach differs from many token fundraising campaigns that prioritize broad public participation and market hype. BitradeX instead adopted a more selective, staged model, gradually lowering the participation threshold while keeping the sale within its active ecosystem community.

BXC is positioned as more than a standard platform token. Its value framework is linked to BitradeX Capital’s broader ecosystem, including its exchange business, AiBot quantitative strategies, BTX Card payments, and Labs incubation platform. Public information indicates that BXC holders may receive staking rewards, benefit from ecosystem buybacks and burns, and gain priority access to Launchpad projects and governance participation.

The third subscription round is launched on April 30 at $0.35 USDT per BXC, with a total supply of 100 million BXC. It is now open to users participating in AiBot recurring investment. The fourth round price is expected to rise to $0.45 USDT.

The long-term value of BXC will ultimately depend on the growth of BitradeX’s underlying businesses, including exchange profitability, AiBot user expansion, and BTX Card adoption. However, the rapid sellout of the first two rounds suggests that BitradeX’s core user base has already shown strong confidence in the ecosystem’s future.

South and East Asia identified as hotspots of global warming related impacts on male fertility

Published

May 9, 2026

By

BEIJING, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A major new study has shown that South and East Asia dominate patterns of global warming related decline in male fertility with the strongest and most consistent evidence coming from India, Pakistan and the southern parts of China.

The effects of increased environmental temperatures on male reproductive health include declining sperm concentration and motility and increased sperm DNA fragmentation, or genetic damage that can hinder fertilisation and embryo development.

Male related factors account for around 50 per cent of infertility cases around the world and the impact of rising ambient heat on semen parameters raises serious implications across wide areas of Asia where total fertility rates are in serious decline.

Outcomes of the study undertaken by the Taiwan IVF Group and Ton Yen General Hospital, Taiwan (China) in collaboration with Stanford University (USA) are being presented at the 2026 Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in Beijing.

Research principal and Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, Dr Jack Yu Jen Huang, MD, PhD, FACOG said: “Given the temperature sensitivity of spermatogenesis, even modest increases in ambient temperature could have cumulative, population-level effects over time.

“As global warming accelerates, male reproductive health may represent an emerging climate sensitive public health concern.”

The testes function optimally at temperatures lower than the internal body heat level, and previous studies have shown elevated scrotal or ambient temperatures can impair sperm production.

The latest research explored global patterns to reveal comparative data across regions. It is based on a systematic review of international studies on temperature exposure and semen parameter trends between 2000 and 2024. Artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning tools were applied to extract key variables including geographic regions and semen outcomes.

Dr Huang said studies examining occupational heat exposure alone were excluded from the analysis as they reflected localised, job-specific conditions rather than broader climatic trends.

“Our findings therefore represent population level climate associated temperature effects including consistent seasonal variations showing poor semen quality parameters in warmer periods.”

The global patterns on temperature associated lower sperm concentration and motility show South and East Asia as major hot spots of concern followed by the Middle East, Europe and North America.

“South and East Asia are likely more affected due to a combination of factors including higher baseline ambient temperatures and rapid urbanisation that contribute to greater cumulative heat stress on spermatogenesis,” Dr Huang explained.

“With ongoing global warming, chronic heat exposure may increasingly impact male reproductive health.”

Dr Huang said potential approaches to address the issue include:

increasing public awareness of heat exposure and reproductive health;encouraging protective behaviours;expanding research integrating climate and reproductive health data; andexploring clinical and lifestyle interventions to mitigate heat-related effects.

The research team was assisted by research intern Jeffrey Zi Kang Huang from Taipei American School, particularly in the application of artificial intelligence in biomedical research including AI-assisted data analysis and pattern recognition across global datasets.

“Further longitudinal and mechanistic studies will be important to better define causality and guide interventions,” he added.

The ASPIRE Congress is being held at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing. More than 3,000 scientists, clinicians, nurses and counsellors in assisted reproduction from around the world are attending the Congress.
