This is incredibly short-sighted. What Isabel is quoted to say is, if anything, a welcome spell of fresh air from this end of the debate. Like it or loath it, people are actually free to choose what they want to consume. They tend to prefer things that taste good. "Good" clearly is up for debate. - ThreadSky

I know that Aaron likes to strike a pose, but criticising Isabel for suggesting that wines should at the very least be drinkable is pretty bizarre.

It feels like the "controlled" bit is what irked. And I did think it was strangely worded from Isabel if that’s a direct quote. I can understand this side of winemaking not being fan of "control" and I wouldn’t want too much of that in that sector either. Just quality, drinkable wine pls.

Yes, maybe that’s what made him see red.

Sounds like the market’s become saturated. Futile rebelliousness and posturing dumping so much unloved product onto consumers. The best wines will continue to succeed.

When punk progenitor Jonathon Richman showed up at a punk festival at the height of punk and played nylon string guitar to Spanish love songs, that was possibly punk’s high point despite the negative reaction. Dogma will always be dogma.

That’s an awesome reference to pull 🤣 👏
