Jumbo and Heineken reach commercial agreement after price spat
Dutch supermarket chain Jumbo and Heineken have established a commercial agreement, resolving a pricing dispute in the Netherlands earlier this year. In May, Heineken took Jumbo to court over the retailer halting orders of some of the brewer's brands. 'Jumbo and Heineken Netherlands have reached commercial agreements for 2025," Heineken said in a statement. The group added: 'From Heineken, Amstel, and Texels to Affligem, Dutch consumers again have access to their favourite beers at Jumbo. Jumbo has been a valued partner of Heineken Netherlands for many years, and we look forward to continuing our long-standing collaboration.' In May, the Amstel maker said the Dutch retailer had paused orders of "a large part of our product range". 'Jumbo has disregarded multiple requests from Heineken Netherlands to resume orders as usual and honour our agreements,' Heineken then said. A spokesperson for Jumbo, which is part of global buying group Everest, told Just Drinks at the time: 'Everest and its partners decided to temporarily purchase fewer Heineken products because they find the procurement prices Heineken is asking [to be] too high. The retailer signed up to the Everest and Epic Partners buying alliances in 2023. Everest includes Germany's retail chain Edeka, Netherlands-based Picnic and French retail cooperative Système U. Heineken lost its legal case against Jumbo later in May. In the court's ruling, the judge concluded Heineken did not have 'sufficient grounds to grant its claims in these summary proceedings', as the brewer's long-term agreement with the retailer came to an end on 31 January last year, after Jumbo joined the buying alliance Everest. It is not the first time the Birra Moretti brand owner has been in a dispute with Jumbo over pricing. In 2016, the Dutch supermarket claimed Heineken was failing to deliver enough products because the retailer's prices were too low.

Alibaba Unveils AI Glasses to Rival Meta's
Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) unveiled its first AI-powered smart glasses Monday, as the Chinese tech giant launches a wearable with features rivaling those of Meta Platforms' (META) offering with Ray-Ban. Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares, which entered Monday up more than 40% this year, are rising 1.5% in premarket trading. The Quark AI Glasses, the Chinese company's first, will be powered by Alibaba's large language model Qwen and are scheduled for official release in China by the end of the year. Alibaba's eyeglasses will be competing with those recently launched by Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi. "Lightweight and ergonomically designed, Quark AI Glasses support hands-free calling, music streaming, real-time language translation, and meeting transcription—making them ideal for professionals, travelers, and tech-savvy users,' Alibaba said. Wearable technology such as eyeglasses or smartwatches are increasingly viewed as the next stage in AI gadgets after smartphones. Not all wearable devices have been hits, however: Google Glass was pulled by parent Alphabet (GOOGL) from the market after two failed launches since 2014.
