” For centuries a bastion of tradition & the jewel in the crown of French viticulture, Bordeaux has in recent years become dogged by controversy, particularly regarding the 2012 classification of the wines of St.-Emilion, the most prestigious appellation of Bordeaux`s right bank. St.-Emilion is an area increasingly dominated by big international investors, especially from China, who are keen to speculate on the area`s wines & l&, some of whose value has increased tenfold in the last decade alone. In the controversial 2012 classification, certain chateaux were promoted to a more prestigious class because of insider deals that altered the scoring system for the classification of wines into premier crus & grand crus. This system now takes into account the facilities of each chateau`s tasting room, the size of its warehouse, & even the extent of its parking lot. The quality of the wine counts for just 30% of the total score for the wines of the top ranking, those deemed premier grand cru classe A. In Vino Business, Saporta shows how back-room deals with wine distributors, multinational investors like the luxury company LVMH, & even wine critics, have fundamentally changed this ancient business. Saporta also investigates issues of wine labelling & the use of pesticides, & draws comparisons to Champagne, Burgundy & the rest of the wine world. Based on two years of research & reporting, Vino Business draws back the curtain on the secret world of Bordeaux, a land ever more in thrall to the grapes of wealth.” ...

' No other city has the variety of hairstyles male & female that parade the streets of London. The bouffant, the duck arse, the white wings of power swept over the ears, the coxcomb punk, the flat top, the social outrider's bowl cut. They're all there to make a place. In respect of the hair of the 80s, the rest of the world was dead from the neck up.' Buy a 35mm camera at the beginning of 1980 & spend the next 10 years walking around London taking half a roll of black & white a day & photograph whatever happens in front of you.
