Top drinks tweets of the week

This week’s roundup features a sausage surprise, 80s technology, a lesson in Latin and db blowing its trumpet.

It’s been a long while since the last time we cast our nest through the turbulent, choppy waters of the drinks trade on social media, but it has been worth the wait.

This week’s collection are an interesting bunch, facing creepy twitter trolls aplomb as well as jinxing our sporting heroes.

So dive in and take a look at what trade figures made it into this week’s top 10 drinks tweets of the week…

Melissa Cole

Beer writer Melissa Cole got more than she bargained for when she posted an impressive-looking sausage roll on twitter… A significantly less impressive “sausage” in response.

Susy Atkins

Wine writer and Saturday Kitchen regular Susy Atkins found an interesting restaurant on her BYOB-hunt in London…

To all who suggested BYOs in London thanks, esp whoever came up with Kandoo which is excellent (despite having same name as baby wipe brand) — Susy Atkins (@SusyAtkins) February 5, 2015

Will Lyons

WSJ’s Will Lyons looks more Gordon Gekko-esque than usual in this pic, complete with laptop that looks like it could have existed in the 80s…

Jane Parkinson

IWSC Communicator of the Year Jane Parkinson sadly spoke too soon ahead of Andy Murray’s Australian Open final… (He lost fairly comprehensively, by the way)

Ace! I’m in Australia at the same time our boy #Murray plays #Djokovic in tomorrow’s @AustralianOpen final 😉 *Illgetmycoat — Jane Parkinson (@jane_parkinson) January 31, 2015

Andrew Catchpole

Wine writer Andrew Catchpole finds inspiration to carry on. For those not trained in the mother tounge, it translates to “Wine cheers the spirit”.

Always encouraging to know that if you overdo it there’s an uplifting motto on the ceiling… pic.twitter.com/vwhQcG2iF2 — Andrew Catchpole (@andrewcatchpole) January 30, 2015

Lauren Eads

Our esteemed web editor Lauren Eads reminds everyone how modest we at db are…

Not often that we blow our own trumpet, but here goes! “db number one drinks trade news site” > http://t.co/WEcuV1Or3g #wine #drinkstrade — Lauren Eads (@LaurenDrinksBiz) January 30, 2015

Fiona Beckett

And finally, food and wine writer Fiona Beckett is just one consonant away from a major boo-boo in this ode to Pinot…

If you’re a pinotphile come along to this pinot lovers supper I’m doing at the lovely @gurnardshead on Feb 27th. 4 courses, 8 wines for £55.
