A long and very nicely written and argued piece with which I wholeheartedly disagree.

Wine is not one thing. Some of it is wonderful cultural stuff.

Some (actually quite a lot) of it is supermarket Pinot Grigio which IMHO is no nobler a beverage than most beer.

Bruce Jack of @brucejackwines argues why the wine industry should not join beers & spirits in race to make 0% products. Instead it should work harder to celebrate wine & what it offers culturally in face of an increasingly hostile anti-alcohol lobby the-buyer.net/opinion/bruce-…

www.linkedin.com How to get genuinely useful results from AI tools as a wine professional - Part 5 June 5, 2026 In response to discussions after a recent Substack of mine, I decided to ask an AI agent to share some basic advice on how to write effective prompts. It's not rocket science, and I'm no...

AI is a tool.

The most sophisticated tool any of us has ever used

You don't need to read the instructions, any more than you needed to read the handbook for your car or the leaflet that came with your food mixer

But doing so might just save you a lot of time

"Maybe the real question isn’t “how do we demystify wine” it’s “how do we make it more fun”.

First class

The_Buyer @TheBuyer11 Jan 16

Corkable's Tom Planer says using fun & emotion has to be the way forward if the wine industry is to cut through to the mainstream consumer - as @tomgilbey has successfully done. If meerkats can do it for insurance why can’t we make it happen in wine? the-buyer.net/opinion/tom-pl…

CONSEQUENCES FOR DUMBASSES: You are an F'ing idiot. If we invade Greenland we go to war with 31 nations. NATO stays together but without us. Its HQ is in Brussels, not the Pentagon. Our global reach across the Atlantic will end with our closest refueling base in Israel or Egypt. 100,000 American soldiers will be forced to board civil airliners and sent home or be taken as POWs/Detainee sWITHOUT WEAPONS OR EQUIPMENT. Canada will close its airspace and sea space. US Ballistic Missile Defense at Pettufik and Fylingdales ENDS, which means we see nothing except what space sensors can see. US Intelligence is reduced to Fort Meade, Ft Gordon and Colorado Springs and Hawaii. CIA spies will be rolled up by their former friends in HOURS. NO ONE WILL SHARE ANYTHING WITH US. ALL GLOBAL SHIPPING WILL BE CLOSED TO US. Denmark operates the largest shipping company in the world. SIX OUT OF TEN global shipping companies are in Europe ... Worlds Biggest container ships? DENMARK!
Australia, NZ, Canada are Commonwealth so they will cut ties with us or be neutral too.

PS Denmark & locals tun all life support and generators at Pittufik and Canada resupplies it ... all 150 US Spece force personnel would become POWs to guys on sleds. FYI They have troops there now and 35,000 Caribou hunting rifles.
FYI France and UK have nukes. Hundreds of them so you cannot intimidate them with that.
Oh and they collapse the US economy by sanctioning us and selling off 2.3 Trillion in US treasuries simultaneously. Also no Botox, Ozempic or insulin. Its made in Denmark.
Ya fucking dope.
