Sweet Sixteen
I'm thinking of suing the National Health Service (NHS). I had a hospital procedure on Friday in which I was injected with Botox. I had hoped to emerge looking less like a 75-year-old and more like a young Sweet Sixteen. Looking in the mirror, I look exactly the same, so I want to make a complaint. The fact that the Botox injection was into my stomach valve via a gastroscopy ( which I mentioned here ) is neither here nor there. Botox is Botox, right? Seriously though, the procedure at St Thomas' Hospital went well and I always love seeing my consultant as she is just a lovely human. As she injected the sedative (I won't have a gastroscopy without a sedative), she said "here comes your gin and tonic". I was out for the count for the rest of it, but knew there were five people in the room, four of them nurses and one consultant, looking after me, monitoring my blood pressure, oxygen levels and making sure I was in the right position for the gastroscopes to go down.

What is abbey-style Dubbel?
There are two mysteries commonly associated with the monastery-derived Belgian beer style known as dubbel. The first, at least for non-Dutch speakers, is how its name is properly pronounced. And the second is where that name came from. Beer and spirits writer Stephen Beaumont digs into where dubbel came from, what defines the style and why it deserves more attention. Understanding Dubbel The pronunciation question is easily resolved: dubbel is ‘double.’ Not ‘dooble’ or the Frenchified ‘doo-bell,’ as it is sometimes characterized, just ‘double.’ The origin bit is similarly simple, but also not. For while the dubbel was most definitely first brewed in an abbey, most likely a Trappist abbey, how it was crafted and from where it got its name is a murkier business. The Trappist monastery most closely associated with the style, the Abbey of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Westmalle, whose Westmalle Dubbel celebrates its centennial as a commercial beer in 2026, declares that the name Dubbel “
video5 Secret Signs Your Wine Is Ruined
You saved the bottle for the perfect night, pulled the cork, poured a glass, and something's off. The fruit's gone flat, there's a sour edge, maybe a whiff of wet cardboard. That wine is spoiled, and here's the cruel part: sometimes it's not even your fault. This episode breaks down the real reasons wine goes bad and how to spot each one before it wrecks your night. Oxidation that turns a red brown and tastes like vinegar. Heat damage that leaves fruit stewed and jammy, and can literally push the cork out. Light strike that makes clear-glass bottles smell like rotten eggs. And cork taint, the TCA gremlin that hits roughly 2% of naturally corked wines with that damp-basement funk. We also get into the part nobody talks about: when you can actually take a faulty bottle back for a refund, and when leaving that white open in the fridge for five days is squarely on you. Plus simple storage fixes so your good bottles survive until you're ready for them. Got a budget storage hack, or do yo

Of Substack & wine
To borrow Ernest Hemingway’s observation on going bankrupt, wine writing on Substack started gradually and then happened all at once. It’s no secret that classic wine media has been in a decline in terms of subscribers as well as losing a publication (or two) year upon year. This isn’t the case for Substack which, despite being founded way back in 2017, it seems most everyone writing about wine or, pretty much anything in the world, has arrived in the past year to try and hack through the madness and earn a few bucks, directly from readers. This has quickly taken on a new dimension with Substack finally creating a subsection of the Rising and Top lists that breaks off Wine & Spirits from Food & Drink as that category is massive and few in the land of drinks ever cracked it. It seems we have some core Substack staff members…
