@IceWallo69 @1tinybutshiny @DrProudman She was acting in self defence you clinical moron. If all the other evidence doesn’t point to that, how about the fact he KILLED her afterwards?

@IceWallo69 @supertanskiii @DrProudman She didn’t kill him though, did she?

The guidance is to achieve ‘absolute clarity’. Stick the abv right up front on the front of the label, where it can’t be missed

Thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Mr Hospitality himself, aka Ryan Chetiyawardana, aka Mr Lyan, who is back in London with Seed Library – his first bar in three years. @mrlyan harpers.co.uk/news/fullstory…

A write up on the fantastic Koshu tasting last week. Some seriously impressive stuff from @KoshuofJapanUK via excellent duo @vinesack and @jane_parkinson

The mind boggles over this decision. @ProWein have told us that they ‘regret’ the ‘overlap’. But at the same time their website still says there are no apparent clashes with @londonwinefair or anyone else. Seems aggressively and unnecessarily divisive.

@WoolfsonExists I see why you didn’t use the offending article 🍆 top tv!

Landmark overhaul for alcohol duty is the biggest shakeup in 140 years - Harpers Wine & Spirit Trade News harpers.co.uk/news/fullstory… @RishiSunak #Budget2021 #budget #wine #alcohol

3/3 @RishiSunak has announced the end of the “irrational duty premium of 28%” on sparkling wine, which will now attract the same rate of duty as still wine.

2/3. Stronger red wines, fortified wines or high strength white ciders will see a small increase in their rates, and a fall for rosé, fruit ciders and low abv beers and wines. The premium of duty on English sparkling wine has also been eliminated. #Budget2021 #wine #duty

1/3. @RishiSunak has announced the most radical simplification of alcohol duties for over 140 years by slashing the number of main duty rates from 15 to six. This will create a system that is “simpler, fairer and healthier”. #Budget2021 #wine #duty #alcohol

An eye-opening, and elevating, tasting of Ventoux AOC wines was suspended 100ft above the O2 last week. Better known to some via the back-breaking climb of the Tour de France, the wines of Mount Ventoux are on the up. @lesvinsaocventoux #aocventoux #ventouxinthesky @LdnInTheSky

@OpenreachHelp We’ve rung the provider repeatedly and they say the problem is with open reach, but open reach aren’t doing anything about it.

@OpenreachHelp Waited for a month for broadband to be connected. Engineer turned up and disappeared a week ago, Sky says Open Reach need to fix the problem. Five weeks later we’re still without internet we’re paying for. PLEASE sort this mess?! @WeAreOpenreach @SkyHelpTeam @ofcom
