The Wine Commonsewer™: Wine & Technology

In Vino Veritas

The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.
We appreciate your patronage.

Wine & Technology

Relative wine upstarts like Australia and Chile embrace new technology and in the process leave the old guard in places like France and Spain wondering what happened.

TWC favors cork to modern screwtops (I don't care a fig that screwtops are very nearly a perfect closure for wine bottles).

At the same time, I also recognize that tradition must be free to evolve in the marketplace. The lesson in this Wired story is that bureacracy stifles innovation when tradition is welded into place by force of law.

Lots of good background and links.
