A few thoughts on restaurants and cafe culture. I don't know where we are going with inflation, increased labour and food costs, and the rising costs of electricity and gas.

Trying to reconcile this - a confusing message from online retailer - first of all they say there’s only 37 p of wine in a £5 bottle of wine then they try to sell you a £5 bottle of wine

Wine is a wonderful thing. It’s about discovery. Conversation. Generosity. Empathy. Relaxing. Dreaming. Daring. When you risk being dragged down by all the negativity out there, remember the positive power of wine.

As writers (journalists?) it's so important we just don't give a voice to those who shout loudest, or who are best at marketing, or who schmooze us the most. So often in the wine world we end up siding with Goliath.

Great piece here touching on important key points in the wine trade. The unholy trinity of apologists, those who want something for nothing and the magic ingredient sugar that supports them. I’ve spoke on these a lot in courses, masterclasses & tastings. Thought provoking stuff.
