A Matter of Degrees (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is very little that can be said about serving temperatures for wine that has not, in some way or another, been covered extensively already. A quick google search will reveal countless websites offering largely the same summary of broadly accepted temperature ranges for the most commonly consumed wine styles. Part of the reason for this abundance of literature is quite simply because serving temperature is one of the few tangible, and easily understandable, variables the consumer can influe
Fake Tasting Notes And Award-Winning AI (Allegedly) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few things are as enraging as someone messing with your food. It is something which is capable of arousing a primal fury like no other, and it is perhaps unsurprising that a food related offence made it into Hesiod’s poetic retelling of the human origin story. At a sacrifice at Mecone, the Titan Prometheus, responsible for shaping mortal man out of clay, divided an ox into two portions, concealing the edible meat underneath the unappealing stomach, while hiding the bones of the animal under a te
The Vineyard Series; Part Eight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When imagining a vineyard, the first image that comes to mind is usually one of trellised vines in long, orderly rows with a spacing wide enough for a narrow tractor.

This training method is often paired with what is known as vertical shoot positioning, or VSP, where the shoots gr
What’s In a Bottle? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few things are quite as ubiquitous and ordinary as the common wine bottle. According to the FAO around 26 billion of them are made each year (as of 2018) and though there are many different shapes and sizes, the vast majority of them conform to the standard 750ml specification that we are all so familiar with. This particular quantity has been become so deeply embedded in the way wine is made, sold and consumed that we seldom stop to question why this particular format gained such popularity. Af
Is Wine Worth The Wait? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would compel you to spend up to ten hours in a queue? Please, take a moment to consider it. It is the sort of wait you might associate with moments from an altogether grimmer period of history. One imagines ration books clutched in hand during wartime shortages or the long soup lines of the Great Depression. Reaching the front of these queues carried the rather consequential risk of there simply being nothing left. Even then, ten hours is an extraordinary amount of time, and it is difficult
