Great question! I was curious about an incident recently after noticing lots of police/ambulance action just outside Bath. And it's impossible to find any official information. I checked local papers' websites, police website (super outdated), Twitter -and nothing!

I've been going through my notes for teaching #WSET this weekend and here are some fun facts 🍷 🍇 Barbera is NOT native to Piemonte, not mentioned until 1800s 🍇 It's Italy’s 3rd most planted black variety after Sangiovese and Montepulciano 🍇 More than 60% of the total is in Piemonte 🇮🇹 #Wine 🦋

In Turkey there is even this premium version: "Do we own a dam*?" The older generation becomes more sensitive than a cl.toris when it comes to wasting money hahah *hydroelectric power plant

Özgür Özel böyledir gercekten. Eczacılar Birliği'nde beraber çalıştığımız dönemde,yogun programında zaman ayırıp benim tez savunmamı dinlemeye gelmişti. Hocalardan birkaçının beni zorbaladigini biliyordu, öyle destek verdi. Ben sadece ona bağlı çalışan proje yöneticisiydim o zaman. Cok vefalıdır.

2nd place goes to #BrunoRocca & #Vajra - even though Freisa 2022 was disappointing 🍷 Both companies were represented by female family members who tell the story of their wines from the heart and engage sincerely.

@ Liberty #Wine #Piemonte Tasting today. Ridiculous line up w a selection from #Massolino, Domenico Clerico, Poderi Conterno and more.. Most memorable wines belong to #Sperino, for his kindness and knowledge.

Protestors are outside the Victoria 10, spraying the Allianze building with red paint in #Bristol city centre 🇬🇧 The action group is demanding immediate cease of collaboration with the Israeli arms giant Elbit. Unbelievable how many police are here.

The wildly popular Nutella competitor El Mordjene has been banned by the European Union, a move some see as politically motivated.

A global delicacy nowadays: tear gas 🍾 👁 cloudy white w a grey hue 👃 pronounced intensity Aromas of fascism, rotten governments, corrupted politicians 👅 steely acidity Lacks democracy & equality Impressive L finish w well-defined aromas of our stolen future and freedom of speech 95/100 (Parker)

My first #Armenian white #wine, what a treat 🇦🇲 Old vines #voskehat 🍇 from high altitude volcanic slopes. Ripe pear, sulphurous wet stone, apricot, elderflower. Everything is in place: crisp, clean, balanced. Easily made on my list of best whites of 2025 ❤️💙💛

Sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to finding an excuse to come back to Logroño! BTW I really enjoy following Rioja vineyards/landscapes via your 📸 Hope you'll have a wonderful season, bumper crop, and a great harvest 🍇 🍷 (and I'll get to taste it!)

Don’t blow a fortune on wine for holidays or big events. Instead, open a great bottle on an ordinary day. Pour it slowly, decant it, savor each sip, take your time. Let it be a journey, not just a drink 🍷 Speaking of journeys—travel. Doesn't matter where, just travel. It will change you.

Another pathetic attempt from the Erdogan government in collaboration with the space-Karen M.sk @ekremimamoglu.com 's x account is banned in 🇹🇷 Since ##Imamoglu 's imprisonment on false charges 45 days ago, every attempt to silence him has failed, and his popularity continues to rise in the polls.

A great episode on #beer from @deliciouslegacy.bsky.social What would humanity do without 🍺? Even if we manage to exist some way or another, life would be very boring for sure, and we'd never had whisky!

My #Islay top 4: Coolest drams on tasting ➡️ #Ardbeg Best prices for special drams ➡️ #Bruichladdich Easy to go with nice views on the tasting area ➡️ #Bowmore Overall the best experience ➡️ #Laphroaig

What followed was two unforgettable days of #peat -scented air, blooming heather, surprise sunshine hikes, and tasting a new #whisky nearly every hour—right where it’s made. I got to visit 6 distilleries including #Ardbeg, #Lagavulin, #Laphroaig, #Bruichladdich, #PortCharlotte and #Bowmore

I set foot on #Islay under pouring rain, with no transfers in sight, I had to begin the trip in the best way possible: at a cozy bar with three welcoming drams 🥃 Port Askaig Hotel Bar is defo recommended, too!

Elif @eeeliiif.bsky.social · 08/05/2025
My excitement peaked as the ⛴️ approached Port Askaig—I could already spot #CaolIla, #Bunnahabhain, and #Ardnahoe along the shoreline!
