InterWined is not English. InterWined may be written in English, but often this is where the similarities end.
We present this shaky intro as a segue to an even shakier premise: the English approach to wine is so very unique that to the outsider, it is sometimes puzzling.
Take for example the recent decision of a food […]

InterWined.com supports the concept of buying local as much as possible. It is a trend that is gaining momentum, especially in the United States, and we hope it’s here to stay. Better for the economy, better for the environment.

Even today, we are not comfortable with the mention of the K-word, but at least the bad dreams for many are subsiding.
Unfortunately, Crescent […]

InterWined likes to follow economic and environmental issues as well as liquid news, so it is interesting when topics emerge that deal with these subjects combined, especially when it comes to trying to feed the world through improving agriculture.
See, a large part of the global food crisis is the inefficiency of current irrigation methods.
More irrigated […]

It seems that InterWined.com is temporarily becoming a food and coffee website. We promise more diverse news soon, but the coffee issues surrounding our lives just won’t die down.
In fact, InterWined recently enjoyed an espresso beer from Dark Star Brewery. We thought it was great of course, but would be interested how such a product […]

Commercial venues are very aware of the effects that the environment — in this case, music — can have on in-store traffic flow, sales volumes, product choices, and consumer time spent in the immediate vicinity. A study of the effects of music levels on drinking in a bar setting has found that loud music leads […]

InterWined.com closely follows the impact on global warming on the wine industry.
We’ve posted many times on subjects related to global warming and climate change, and even commented at Spittoon.biz about the impact world warming may have on other agricultural products.
Another issue closely tied to this is the ‘desertification’ of the world’s agricultural sectors. As the […]

The transmission is being undertaken as part of the Doritos Broadcast Project, which invited the […]

The title for today’s post is misleading, sure, as it deals more with the UK housing market, not France.
Look, we all know the economy is suffering, but what is really interesting is that new mortgage products need some sort of ‘hook’ to get the good punters in…(good punters defined as those who can provide 20% […]

Increasing summer temperatures could mean some parts of southern England are too hot to grow vines for making wine by 2080, according to a new book launched today.
The author, Emeritus Professor Richard Selley from Imperial College London, claims that if average summer temperatures in the UK continue to rise as predicted, the Thames Valley, parts […]

InterWined is no longer much of a beer drinker, especially in London.
A recent jaunt to New York and New Jersey represented the first trip to the United States in six years. And who could guess, that in that time, Americans have become relatively sophisticated beer drinkers?
This isn’t even to mention the superior wines by the […]

A new study may end the century-old controversy over what ingredient in absinthe caused the exotic green aperitif’s supposed mind-altering effects and toxic side-effects when consumed to excess. In the most comprehensive analysis of old bottles of original absinthe — once quaffed by the likes of van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso to enhance […]
