Taste and temperament: wine choices reveal personality, study finds

A study analyzing nearly 10,000 online wine reviews with AI linked personality traits to preferred wine alcohol levels. People high in openness and agreeableness tend to favor higher-alcohol wines (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Port, Sherry), while those higher in extraversion and neuroticism lean toward lower-alcohol options (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Prosecco). Conscientiousness showed no clear link. The researchers say results could inform personalized wine recommendations and psychographic marketing.

A 127-year-old Burgundy legend uncorked: 1899 Romanee-Conti opened by a collector

Singaporean wine investor Soo Hoo Khoon Peng uncorked the 1899 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti bottle, a 127-year journey from vineyard to cellar to glass, at Auprés du Clocher in Burgundy. Its provenance traces to the de Brou de Laurière family, and experts estimate the bottle at about €100,000. The ungrafted-vine wine survived wars through meticulous cellaring, yielding an amber hue and notes of dried flowers, tea and preserved plum. Soo Hoo called the moment one of learning and human connection, not a display of wealth, with Aubert de Villaine in attendance.

Loss32 is a novel concept proposing a Linux distribution built entirely around running Windows binaries inside WINE, offering a different approach from traditional compatibility layers and emulators, and potentially providing a more seamless Windows experience on Linux. The idea, presented at the Chaos Communication Congress, explores the possibility of a Linux OS that operates as a bare-metal WINE environment, which could revolutionize how Windows applications are run on Linux systems.

Doctors Say Daily Glass of Wine May Benefit Heart Health
