'Littering is such a tangible symbol of one person’s disdain for everyone else'. Exactly. Littering is a huge bugbear of mine, it's lazy, rude and entitled. @PlanetVictoria is absolutely right. telegraph.co.uk/columnists/202…
@GavinQuinney @PlanetVictoria Few people know that the original purpose of the sommelier's sabre is not sabrage, but maintaining a distance from overly perfumed tasters.

The largest increase in excise duty on wine in c.50 years, last August, has lead to a £436m reduction in duty paid September - January year on year! and an 9% increase in average wine prices. #CutDrinksDuty and keep the excise duty system, simple with a single duty level on wine.

Just received the latest in a long line of frustrating correspondence over the last year from @edfenergy "I shall be monitoring your case until you are unsatisfied." Sounds about right.
A lot of Fawlty Towers watching, presumably.
Interesting read on English wine from @PlanetVictoria @Telegraph Let's hope English wine makers can continue to go from strength to strength🥂 @GOVUK can support our talented wine makers by making #wine tax fairer & keeping prices down for consumers. telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink…
I’ve been posting this story every year since 2012, and it still makes me cry. Happy Christmas xx bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-…
Very on board with this.
"Given how quickly taste receptors change, to have this one receptor conserved over 460 million years, that’s pretty astounding.”

Thanks @PlanetVictoria for recommending our Pinot Noir Rosé in @TheTelegraphUK at the weekend! A Rosé for Winter for sure - check out what was said here uk.news.yahoo.com/25-best-wines-…
This sounds like an absolute bargain
The proposed duty rise isn’t just unfair on wine drinkers it’s threatening hundreds and thousands of small businesses too

@donalde @PlanetVictoria Financially eye opening? It's an actual joke. How is it legal to not pay minimum wage?
I'm be thrilled. It's mad that cars have ballooned in the past 50 years when our roads in London are over cluttered. So many people park their oversized SUVs on the pavement where I live that you can't get a pram through and have to walk in the road
If @SadiqKhan wins on Thursday all cars in London will be this size ( and colour) by 2028!!!
I sometimes get told that Very British Problems is too gentle or twee, by people who seem to think that because they don’t want that kind of humour then nobody does. But a lot of people really like having a bit of gentleness in their lives. Not everything has to be edgy.
Just been summoned for jury duty which I don't mind in essence, but the money you can claim back as a freelancer is a joke. £64.95 loss of earnings & £5.71 for food & drink. Like that isn't even minimum wage???? And where you getting lunch in London for sub £6?
Me when my English friend tells me that they cut spaghetti in half to make them cook faster. (Picture: Lacoonte statue, Royal Academy, London)
"UK water sports demand clean-up, blaming sewage for illness and event cancellations." Truly there is not a single person in the country that isn't impacted upon by the greed, corruption and financial engineering of the water industry. 🤬🤬🤬 news.sky.com/story/uk-water…
🚨NEWSFLASH!!! 🚨 Well, I finally did it. I launched my own business. So now, whenever you see a wine business whose website or newsletter is rather lacklustre, you can send them to me… grandcrucreative.com
We routinely send police officers into harms way to face lethal edged weapons with a stick and a tin of hurty spray & maybe a taser. That they keep doing so is amazing in itself. But the threat is now routine so they must have proportionate protection. Or they might stop.
@hjpmiles @RishiSunak I explained this to a supplier in the Rhone valley on Friday. They were simply couldn’t believe the stupidity of the whole scheme. They also concluded it would be unworkable…
Taxing wine on % alcohol to every decimal place on labels (and that’s new too) is the most Brexity thing ever. There will be over 200 bands of duty from 1.3% (lo alc) to 22%, replacing just a handful. Misguided, incompetent, anti-trade, anti-business and big drop in tax receipts.
Government is determined to push ahead with wine duty reform when the easement ends in Feb 2025. It raises no extra money for the Treasury, but introduces huge complexity and cost for wine businesses. It hits small companies and consumers hardest. Why are we doing it? @RishiSunak
I just need to moan for a second. I brought Covid back from Italy and started getting sick last Friday. It's been a week! I'm still sick! This virus sucks. Go get a booster.
I've just sat in the presenters chair, for the first time, in an empty studio, ready for tonight's #Hignfy record for tomorrow's show. It was an interesting morning scripting and working with the producers and writers (I'm used to writing everything myself). This is the calm…
Oh yes, did I mention that @thameswater want to pay their shareholders £2,000,000,000 over the next few years? What, nobody told you? 🤔 telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…
Great to be at the launch of the @ottolenghi / @waitrose tie-up. Possibly the most obvious commercial partnership since Liam Gallagher got into bed with Parka
When a couple of winemakers started to talk about their very specific red wine headaches, I decided to raise the issue (and the discovery of a possible cause) in a post... meiningers-international.com/wine/opinion/d…
So in an effort to bullshit the regulation into agreeing a massive price increase @thameswater said they spend a further £1.1bn Would that be the same £1.1bn they were legally committed to spend this year on 105 enviro projects and didn't? Surely not?🤔 theguardian.com/business/2024/…
