Frankengrapes
It’s the only magazine that calls itself a newspaper, and London’s Economist is like one in that most articles are short and offer a brief overview in a bold, authoritative tone. One of this week’s “leader” comments (an opinion piece by magazine staff) skewers the concept of terroir and summarizes the potential of transgenic grapes.
And, aside from the reference to “those with jaded palettes” (fast-living painters bored with available wines?), the linked article on grape genetics has a decent summary of new developments in the field and what they might mean for wines of the future.
