@AleEsteves7 30% for South Africa. Our wine industry is screwed.

20% tariffs on EU, 10% on UK and 24% on Japan. Let's see the impact on wine, spirits and sakes

It’s little moose bollocks day with my annual delivery of deliciousness from @LaMottewine. Loving the cute little house box too - thanks chaps, always appreciated!

@geniusboywonder for sure!

@CathyMarston Of course. But paying all that money to private schools and not make the top 10 must sting.

Ouch. Not a single boys schools in Western Cape made the top 10.

@FionaMcDonaldSA Love it!!

One for you @CathyMarston

@emilejoubert @KaapzichtWines What very sad news indeed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

The maestro of @KaapzichtWines has passed away. Danie Steytler you were one of the most humble, polite and gentle men in the Cape wine industry. Your love of Bottelary, its wines and beauty inspired myself and many others. A great loss, but just know your legacy is immortal.

Huge day of @WSETglobal Level 3 exams today - best of luck to the 34 students and hope you remember all your Key Factors!! @TheWineCentre
