#liwf Schaafsma: deliver flavour and value without dumbing down. Embrace lower alc wine but responsibly
#liwf Mackenzie: we're saying wine is serious. Not to be treated casually. Images of smiling ppl drinking/enjoying
#liwf mackenzie: we need to focus more on customer. Think less about where wine is from. More about where it's going.

@O_Legrand_IR @imbibeandsavour @winebusprof wine producers are usually bad at validating consumer's expenditure on their bottles
@Timatkin @BabelWine lucky you! I'm really enjoying the non-tainted bottles and feeling frustrated about the others. Maybe I carry an aura!
@RVimmerstedt Up to 8 I think. Not bad in 4 days! Inc some quite pricy bottles. (Oh the Hauner TCA cork broke as well)
@CrowMo99 not just A v D. Ch Margaux buys A and gets TCA ( as seen in London experimental tasting) + bottle variation
And another cork-tainted Sicilian red. Pity because 2nd bottle of this Syrah was rather impressive & Rhoney

@WINESTARS1 @susanmccraith @winebusprof @winekat the problem is always the gatekeepers, more than the consumers
Just interviewed Quebec Monopoly for @meiningers re Taste Tags they've created to simplify life for consumers
@grapeideas Australian punters know Semillon. But few oz producers made money selling it. Several already bastardised style.

@rmerinob63 @CatMonahan Yes but UK is huge market for US too, but very few producers are represented here. Mostly big brands / own label
My most contentious post yet? Proof that some big name wine producers really don't care about teroir.
@WINESTARS1 @susanmccraith @winebusprof @winekat It will be driven by US producers in the US.. (like sweet red). Watch this space
