We are greatly saddened beyond belief to announce the death of our spiritual leader Sir Ronald Halstead CBE, a scion of business, who served us as Chairman for over 20 years, then President, then Patron. He was one of a kind **thank you Ron from the bottom of our hearts**

So true...

Wine salesmen and women: the unsung heroes of an industry that likes to fool itself that good wine sells itself.

But what makes a *good* salesperson?

President Trump just now: "When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total."

Fact Check: That is definitely not true.

By comparison the US seems to be running at nearly 30% infection rate (positives/tests). Suggests true US infection rate possibly 10x what's been confirmed so far?

[Richard Halstead @richalstead]

Other comparisons... S Korea 196k tests, 7.3k positives (3.7% infection rate; UK 23k tests, 319 positives (1.4%)

[Richard Halstead @richalstead]

How many Americans have Coronavirus? Number of Americans tested: <2000 (source: The Atlantic, 6 Mar). Number of positives: 545+ (NY Times, March 9). Italy: 42k tests, 6k positives as of the same date.

The gorgeously mad wine list at Terroir New York City - chapeau to Paul Greico #makemadeiragreatagain

Agree completely Sarah. HMG have clearly assumed we're all stupid and can't add up. Other govt assumptions from the past week: 1. laws don't apply to HMG if it doesn't like them; 2. UK citizens can't tell the difference between lies and facts; 3. Optimistic waffle = policy

Disingenuous & facile - yes, you’ll save couple of £ on duty, but on vastly reduced quantities. Touting a few bottles of duty free vino as a dividend of hugely destructive no-deal Brexit is the height of deceit & irresponsibilty FROM GOVERNMENT. Who is sanctioning this content?

[Richard Halstead @richalstead]

@bbclaurak So it’s a case of ‘the bigger the lie, the bigger the reward?’

Adrian Bridge: wine industry needs to frame choosing to drink wine as choosing ‘economic, social and environmental sustainability’ @CCL_Porto2018 @WineIntell

Prof Mike Veseth: wine business requires ‘generational’ commitments and exists in fragile economic system - so it is more likely to ‘get’ the climate change problem @CCL_Porto2018 @WineIntell

Huge thank you to my brave and thoughtful panellists Antonio Amorim @amorim and Paul Willgoss @marksandspencer . Keep messages simple, do a few things really well, recognise that product quality matters just as much even in a ‘sustainable’ setting @CCL_Porto2018 @WineIntell

[Richard Halstead @richalstead]

Fantastic work on sustainability in the vineyard and winery @CCL_Porto2018 from Maggie Henriquez and Cristina Mariani-May from Krug and Banfi respectively @WineIntell

Barnstorming speech from Miguel Torres @CCL_Porto2018 who asks: can wine industry be the leader in mitigating climate change? What’s stopping them?
