Hello and welcome! Drinking Notes is a newsletter about wine, spirits and other aspects of creative culture – from music and art to broader cultural reflections. The clue is in the name: these are notes about the broader drinking experience, loose, exploratory and meandering.
More often than not, we think that a lot of the pleasure you get from wine and spirits is about who you’re sharing it with, what you’re eating, where you are, what you’re listening to – or perhaps even what’s on your mind.
This is a space dedicated to those sensory intersections. There is a tendency to speak about wines and spirits in quite an insular way, but they are deeply interconnected with other art forms and aspects of culture. By honing in on those connections, we hope to bridge that gap somewhat.
Whether or not you agree with the interpretations we put forward, at least it’s a thinking exercise of sorts – a way of reframing drinks as something to reflect on, be creative with and have fun with.
If you like what you see, subscribe below – we’d be delighted to have you on board.
