Although I’m not sure many people are buying the alcohol free version at that price.

In the USA, big companies collaborated with the Nazi regime and supplied their military even while the British were fighting the Battle of Britain. It took Pearl Harbor to stop them. But I guess this corporate culture never went away.

I didn’t know Vinisud was no more. I haven’t been a buyer for so long and I’m out of date. I really loved Vinisud. Do all the Languedoc, Roussillon and Provence growers go to Wine Paris now?

I have only been once - about 15 years ago - and it was really inspiring. I found loads of great wines there and my colleagues even let me buy some of them. Frustrating for you that you can’t make it.

I'm being a bit of a curmudgeon again, I think.

I must admit, although I'm an art lover and a wine lover, I generally don't like it when those two worlds collide. I think Mouton-Rothschild and Leeuwin Estate labels are a dog's dinner. And don't get me started on the cutesy my-child-designed-it-at-our-kitchen-table labels.

Definitely. But there are loads of natural wine labels that attract curiosity and say what the wine is. In today’s market, I don’t think people can afford to limit their options. If someone takes a photo and posts it online, it’s either an anonymous front label or dull informative back label.

Fair enough. But the wine I photographed is exported to the UK. So it’s missing opportunities on the shelf, on the page and on screens. Unless you show the back label, in which case you don’t see the pretty picture. Surely the art of label design is to include at least some identifying information?

I love a pretty picture but I do think the most basic starting point for label design is that it functions as a label rather than a pretty picture.

Blurring is very much my style of photography.

Yes, the deal was signed in July.

Yes, it’s been survival of the fittest here, but there have been so many casualties along the way.

Yes, I think that's the line rather than focusing specifically on Liz Truss. Reform and their voters actually liked Truss' economically illiterate budget and saw her removal from office as an establishment stitch-up. It's better to portray Reform as a bunch of Tory insider has-beens and failures.

I don’t really use TikTok but I’m sorry to hear that it’s gone bad.

I think it’s only TikTok in the US that has been sold and, yes, it appears to have gone full MAGA. Any change in the rest of TikTok isn’t related to a change of ownership.

Any good?
