Is wine tasting real or just your brain filling in the gaps? 🍷 We think we measure flavour, but science says we construct it from memory, smell + suggestion. @jamiegoode explores the topic: https://t.co/l7WMIPh2Ks
Pannobile – meeting this coalition of amazing Burgenland producers, who are making some of Austria’s most interesting wines

Smashable reds are very much in fashion. But have we gone too far? As glou glou takes over, are we swapping character, place and ageability for easy charm and ending up with a new kind of sameness? @jamiegoode writes for us: https://t.co/j7bATn3IOm
Also Paul Merson btw:
“The De Bruyne fee is an absolute joke. He's a good player, but is he a £50m+ player? I don't think so”
"I’m not sure about Bernardo Silva. He’s a good player, but is he better than Ross Barkley? For £43m, I’d rather have Barkley.”
“I look at David Silva and think, 'Can you do it on a cold, windy night?' He’s a lovely footballer, but in this league, you get snapped. You don’t get the time on the ball you get in Spain. I think he’ll find it very, very difficult to dictate games here”
"I’m not sure Haaland’s going to get the goals everyone thinks. In the Bundesliga, you’ve got 40 yards of space behind the defense. In the Premier League, teams sit ten men behind the ball against City. He’s not going to have that room to run into. He’ll have to learn to play a different way."
