Everything I wrote in April

Large parts of April were spent getting ready for Skin Côntact LIVE AGAIN on May 12th, but I still managed to write the following pieces for your reading pleasure:

• On JancisRobinson.com, I wrote:
  • an exposé of a proposed EU supertax on sparkling wine (free to read - but note the publication date!)
  • The Price of Quality, my monthly Spittoon column, about whether money is the most important factor in good wine (free to read)
  • A review of the best wine-scanning label apps 2016 (free to read)
  • What it's like to taste wine in utter pitch blackness (subscription required)
• Two Off Licence News columns:
  • Maintaining perspective, about seeing wine as part of a bigger picture
  • Mass entertainment, about remembering to choose the right wine for the right customer
• My Living France column covered the wines of Alsace
• Eight blog posts, the most popular of which were:
  • Did The Wine Show get it right?
  • Getting ready for the wine trade party of the year
  • Prestige champagne and the brand experience
• Not forgetting three blogs on the Skin Côntact website as we approach the big day!
