Well, tell them to jog on because science is on your side my friend.
A new study from the University of California has revealed that ‘ecocertified’ wines really do taste better than their non-organic counterparts, with an increased taste score of at least 4.1 points on average
It has long been thought that organic wines were of lower quality because the natural fermentation process and lack of pesticides damage the taste. The study suggests that this idea could have come about because the initial vineyards producing organic wine were a bit rubbish.

The diet originated with Walter Voegtlin, who said that eating… Read the full story

How did your parents stop you from nicking alcohol from the drinks cupboard when you were a teenager?
I’d be willing to be that whatever they did, it wasn’t an inventive as this mum.
17-year-old Spencer Slavazza knows that his mother Cheryl is keeping a close watch on him when he found a bottle of vodka with a pointed message on it.
