Top 10 drinks tweets of the week
The drinks figures featuring in this week’s top 10 include a wining and reclining Will Lyons, a distraught Gavin Quinney and a faff-free Madeline Puckette.
We’ve had a great time yet again compiling this week’s top 10 drinks industry tweets. Who would have thought that wine-folk could stay so consistently (slightly) interesting!
Just remember people – from embarrassing snaps to snappy remarks, nothing gets past us here at the drinks business.
Take a look at what wine figures have made this weeks Top 10.
Jamie Goode
IPA, in an airport?! Jamie Goode struck gold as he was off on yet more travels this week, enjoying this brew in Dallas.

Russ Beebe
Hiker and wine man Russ Beebe has found the photographic evidence to prove that harvest 2014 has indeed kicked off, just as the drinks business reported recently.
Grapes galore! How exciting.

Will Lyons
Aloof wine writer Will Lyons likes to recline on the beach when giving his wine tutorials.
And he does both so very, very well. Cheers, Will!
With Summer in full flow we head to the beach to taste one of the world’s great rosé wines: http://t.co/TIG2AKES9f

Jancis Robinson
Jancis Robinson lashes out at the wine labels that should be arrested for abuses to language.
What do producers mean when they say “handcrafted” wine anyway? Nonsense!
@JancisRobinson I’d add ‘hand crafted’ to favourite meaningless phrases. — Samantha Connew (@GandTQueen) July 26, 2014
Randall Grahm
Keeping up with this theme of frustration, producer Randall Grahm has no time for the terroir-denying French professor that featured on our website this week.
You go, Grahm!
RT @teamdb: French professor calls terroir a ‘myth’ http://t.co/nYI3S8zrSC /Too long in school but no common sense. #smartypants

Lynton Manuel
Wine blogger Lynton Manuel posted this video this week.
It has nothing to do with wine. It has nothing to do with anything. But it’s really rather cool.
