33 trying to get in on the act in wine, love to talk wine like the idea of having an opinion but no real experience. Will get there if speak to the right ppl.
@TheOpen parking payment for thurs goes into a doom loop even when logged on to my one club account. When I chose pay from the basket i just goes back to https://t.co/F2LbH4REv8 home page.
@benxwine @HertsWineSchool @darenbergwine@wine_australia@EnotriaCoe@oddbins Thing was Dead Arm was pre sold and/or in the staff rack. No need to market it, it was an Oddbins legendary wine. Start of failure was focus on exclusive Oddbins wine IP from Oz, Chile, South Africa and US
@benxwine @HertsWineSchool @darenbergwine@wine_australia@EnotriaCoe@oddbins And an A board and window “Michael Jackson loves this 12 year old [Glenlivet] + “reassuringly expensive” 12 4 8 Belgian Stella at 99p . What does it stand for now?
I hope our last remaining major multiple specialist retailer not going the same way as Conviviality? Majestic shares plummet and directors buy small amounts of token shares just as Convivs directors did to display confidence?
The Home Office still refuses to say if or why Theresa May blocked a security services investigation into LeaveEU donors and their relationship with Russia. Their bullshit reason: “it would impede the future formulation of government policy” (!) https://t.co/DYe0GGYnVF
@jamiegoode Do you think they have lost focus, focusing on the 13% and not the 40%? Danger of Tesco trying to do what others do rather than doing what they do, but better? Danger they will mean nothing to many vs something to a few.
@liamsteevenson @robertjoseph@jamiegoode Alcohol is a drug, it’s a psychoactive substance it’s just legalised and liked as a tax revenue stream by govs. Do you still have people wave red flags in front of your car as the horse and cart should be the only transport for people?
@bbc5live I hear you edited the interview, but it always amazes me that when I hear or read stuff in the mainstream media about stuff I know about how often it is wrong and or misleading. Makes me worry about what I am taking in on other topics. #fakenews? Or flippant cos it’s wine?
@bbc5live you cannot artificially colour “wine” green and call it “wine”. The “expert” talking rubbish. There are strict controls on what a winemaker can do and call it “wine”. It just becomes a alcoholic beverage
A rotten, frightened establishment are very willing to hang a good man out to dry while they hide behind a facade of justice. The virtue signallers have had a free run on Grenfell. They are not fit to tie this man’s shoe laces. Let him be supported by the right thinking https://t.co/2e8QLheUCp
@robertjoseph@aus_business@EliGreenblat Agreed, but it should be partnership, not a gun to people’s heads. Seems to me they are just transferring their other brands’ problems onto other people rather than sorting it out themselves? Over egging other brands nearly brought them down due to US.
@robertjoseph@aus_business@EliGreenblat Agree, that is why it surprises me that such a tone and strategy was taken. If you want our Bentleys or Audi’s you have to take our Skoda’s, which you may not be good at selling, but that’s your problem. Perhaps Farrs will break the system again?
