@FelicityCarter pokes a hornet nest in her latest newsletter on the role of AI in Wine Writing. How much AI is too much AI when it comes to wine writing? And will we apply the same framework when it comes winemaking competitions, too? drinksinsider.substack.com/p…

Do GLP-1 drugs work by inhibiting appetite or by prioritizing fat oxidation over storage--changing metabolic fuel partitioning, in the lingo? Most researchers (and X influencers) will insist it's the former, but they'll do so because they don't think deeply about the alternative. Maybe the new paper by Friedman & Lund will help. 🤞
Could Wegovy’s weight-lowering effect be caused by how the drug affects fuel metabolism? 1/16

Shocking to read an article on CNN where claims comparing alcohol to cigarettes have no scientific backing - sad that @CNN does not check their facts and quotes people with major conflicts of interest without declaring them Check out this article: cnn.com/2026/05/14/health/al…

Wine journalist Felicity Carter is trying to conduct a survey of how GLP-1 use affects alcohol consumption. If you are taking GLP-1, please take a look at this survey. (I have nothing to do with it, but I look forward to the results.) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

@FelicityCarter at #wine2wine2025: AI is everywhere in wine. It’s fast and cheap, but without guidance it turns generic. Use it for speed and data: but keep your human voice, expertise, and story at the center. 🍷🌐

Yes, I do have something to say about this. See the comments.
Thoughts on Vinicolacainelli’s FitWine? I feel like @FelicityCarter will have something to say about this.

The paper this blog post is based on references a 2006 paper on wastewater treatment from Australia, commissioned by the wine industry. As a result of that paper, Australia has become a world leader in winery wastewater management. Talk about cherry picking!
Public health researchers are well-placed to investigate alcohol's impact on sustainability, write Dr Megan Cook & Prof Sarah MacLean. In our latest blog, they argue that alcohol interventions can reduce health harms while improving planetary health. ias.org.uk/2025/01/14/alcoho…

Writing breaking news from the US is always a trade-off between getting the story before everybody else in wine media does and being so tired at 1 am that the writing isn't exactly award-winning.

When I watch neo-temperance presentations and webinars, I often think they need help with their communications. This confirms it. I don't think it's delivering the message they think it is.

Enjoyed this piece by @FelicityCarter on why the media isn't covering your wine. meiningers-international.com… "Silence can be a gift" - I've had that conversation with clients a number of times, with varying degrees of success.
