Shocking to read an article on CNN where claims comparing alcohol to cigarettes have no scientific backing - sad that @CNN does not check their facts and quotes people with major conflicts of interest without declaring them Check out this article: cnn.com/2026/05/14/hea…

@TomChivers @thomasforth @Psythor I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this, too.

@thomasforth @Psythor what's your reasoning that nuclear power affects women more than men? Not disagreeing, just don't follow the logic

The "women are more likely to think Nuclear power isn't low carbon" finding via @Psythor and @TomChivers thing makes sense to me. The potential damage of Nuclear power and weapons probably impacts women more than men and we all backwards justify our truths from such things.

@15chivalry Thank you so much! You can contact me at felicity at drinksinsider dot com and tell me how to contact you.

@FelicityCarter Fillled it in, happy to speak (sorry I didn’t include any details in final question)

Wine journalist Felicity Carter is trying to conduct a survey of how GLP-1 use affects alcohol consumption. If you are taking GLP-1, please take a look at this survey. (I have nothing to do with it, but I look forward to the results.) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@cjsnowdon "Gendered colour." I wish the temperance people would learn something about alcohol. "Pink" Prosecco simply means the winemaking process included Pinot Noir, a red grape. Rosé winemaking has a long and honourable history.

The temperance lobby are so weird.

@wblakegray How appalling. Alas, it doesn't surprise me. If you see a doctor in Australia, the top of the form will have questions about exactly how much alcohol you "use". I always write, "50 a day when judging".

I spent all last week in the hospital, being mistreated by young doctors who saw me as nothing more than a "user of alcohol." Something needs to change about alcohol/health messaging. Their indifference to my pain nearly killed me. wine-searcher.com/m/2026/03/alco…

@amwilson_opera Maybe Joachim Fest's memoir Ich nicht? ("Not I" in the English translation.) It's less about art as joyous awakening and more about how his family used art as a shield against Nazi indoctrination.

Friends! A request. I need examples of memoirs/biographies where people (from all and any walks of life) wax lyrical about falling in love with the arts and the joy they take from them. If any spring to mind, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

@cjsnowdon There are so many logical fallacies in this paper, it's hard to know where to start. They seem to think that marketing is a magic demand creation tool, where consumers have no say.

The whole "study" is based on reading corporate jargon in back issues of The Grocer. 🤣 link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Doughnut economics without the doughnuts. Two of the dumbest ideas of our time - degrowth and ultra-processed hysteria - collide.

@derJamesJackson Very German. I'm surprised she was that lavish.

An honor to be on this panel on Sustainability at @TastingClimate in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 with Ines from @LaSAQ_officiel Marcus from @systembolaget Michele from EQUALITAS in Italy @michellebwine - hopeful about the work the wine industry is doing @CatenaMalbec @CatenaScience

How to communicate Sustainability in Wine, a great panel at @TastingClimate in Montreal, Canada with @michellebwine @FelicityCarter Veronique Rivest and Tara Q Thomas from @JancisRobinson @LaSAQ_officiel

@cjsnowdon There are still so many questions around this. Who commissioned the ICCPUD report in the first place?

An attempt to rig the USA's drinking guidelines has backfired spectacularly. Link below.

@FelicityCarter at #wine2wine2025: AI is everywhere in wine. It’s fast and cheap, but without guidance it turns generic. Use it for speed and data: but keep your human voice, expertise, and story at the center. 🍷🌐

@wineguroo I have been tracking them!

@HenryGJeffreys @TheCriticMag Could not agree more. There is a town across the border that has very little going for it, except that it has a French supermarket and it's a WONDERLAND.

Yes, I do have something to say about this. See the comments.

@benxwine @JonoLeFeuvre I keep thinking about writing some ranty screed about these types of products and then I get distracted.

@FelicityCarter @JonoLeFeuvre on the fence as usual Felicity :)

Thoughts on Vinicolacainelli’s FitWine? I feel like @FelicityCarter will have something to say about this.
