A smarter, funnier listen for the journey home for Christmas. It’s the Get Yourself a Glass Christmas Special. Andrew Neather and I on the things that really matter, such as good things to drink with Stilton and can AI write tasting notes? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

I regret to inform you, but marmalade consumption continues to plummet in the UK.
Back in 1974 each adult, each week, ate on average 27g. It was a mere 4g in 2024 (down from 6g in 2023).
Honey, by contrast, has gone from 5g in 1974 to 9g last year.

I'm online at the Telegraph fielding questions on Greek wine. So far, the readers are mostly not keen - "Fine if you’ve got a scraper and a door that needs stripping," Come on over and beg to differ (if you do)

Santorini assyrtiko used to be carafe wine. Now it's one of the most expensive grapes in the world (for a generic PDO). I'll be online from 5.30pm fielding questions about affordable Greek wines. If you have one, pop it there now and I'll answer it later.

Big news from the latest IWSR data: the UK no and low alcohol category more than doubled in size in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by duty changes and a surge in low-ABV beer volumes. thedrinksbusiness.com/2025/0…

The silence is deafening. This is misguided legislation the doesn’t increase tax revenues, it just makes operating harder & increases prices. Why the silence @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP ? Hi @jayrayner1 you like a fair price entry point on wine lists. This will stop us giving one.
One for you @UKLabour and @RachelReevesMP. These duty bands are unworkable. And they won’t generate any more revenue. Just “Brexit benefit” red tape. Is the @BBCr4today programme aware of this? Lots of stuff about farmers. Nothing about the wine and hospitality businesses.

A brilliant thread on how the incoming duty reforms will harm the rich wine culture in our country. And, in doing so, end up raising less tax for HMRC. So no one wins.

What the Budget means for wine businesses and drinkers, a thread. Rishi Sunak's weird alcohol tax reforms sought to take advantage of new found freedoms when the UK had left the EU. Heavily informed by a report funded by anti-alcohol think tank the Institute of Alcohol

The question is - why is the government so keen to inflict such pointless (and potentially fatal for small businesses) bureaucracy?

My comments on a very disappointing Budget for the wine and spirit trade.
RPI increase on 1 Feb 2025 will be 3.65%

The Co-op is claiming a UK first for a stick-on label that gives the appearance of a luxury embossed gloss. @PlanetVictoria explains why this could be a game-changer for the trade.

'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/2…

Few people know that the original purpose of the sommelier's sabre is not sabrage, but maintaining a distance from overly perfumed tasters.
