Water Down the Drain 2008-07-15 04:51:20 In a survey on showering habits of western Europeans, the British are the most water wasteful and care the least about any negative environmental effects from their shower gel, shampoos and soap usage.
And in particular, the women in Britain are especially guilty of wasting shower water and not caring about contaminants, says the report for [...]
Sun-blushed Tomato & Goat’s Cheese Rolls 2008-07-14 10:57:22
Each week, InterWined.com pairs one great wine with one great meal and publishes the results along with the recipe in a little feature it likes to call ‘Blow the Bank’.
Sticking with the bread theme from yesterday, why not start the week right with some Sun-blushed Tomato
& Goat's CheeseRolls
?
Sun-blushed tomatoes and goat’s cheese make another great match for the the 2005 Remole
Olive & Parma Bread 2008-07-12 19:22:53
Each week, InterWined.com pairs one great wine with one great meal and publishes the results along with the recipe in a little feature it likes to call ‘Blow the Bank’.
There are few things nicer than a warm slice of bread and a good glass of wine. So, this week, ‘Blow the Bank’ brings you both with its very own Olive

I’ve made this bread several times and in ma
Back on the Fringe 2008-07-10 04:08:26 InterWined once starred in a production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival…back in 2002.
The Scotsman actually reviewed the show, “Chekhov for Breakfast,” and I still remember the opening line of the text: “There is something rotten at the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Chekhow for Breakfast is the perfect example…”
I’d tell you more, but [...]
Not All Fish is Healthy Fish 2008-07-09 05:35:24 Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and, perhaps worse, very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, according to new research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
The researchers say the combination could be a potentially dangerous food source for some patients [...]
Flood Water Gives as it Takes Away 2008-08-06 04:34:45 InterWined.com has a sister site, www.crescentcity.co.uk, that hopes to provide positive entertainment to the UK. The idea was bourn from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina that has perhaps permanently displaced this site’s founders.
Even today, we are not comfortable with the mention of the K-word, but at least the bad dreams for many are subsiding.
Unfortunately, Crescent [...]
Plants That Live Off Little Water 2008-08-05 05:05:43 InterWined likes to follow economic and environmental issues as well as liquid news, so it is interesting when topics emerge that deal with these subjects combined, especially when it comes to trying to feed the world through improving agriculture.
See, a large part of the global food crisis is the inefficiency of current irrigation methods.
More irrigated [...] Read more:Plants
Coffee Served, Wine Service 2008-07-31 04:37:01 InterWined is happy to report we had a coffee.
This coffee, in fact, was consumed at Fitch Rating’s offices in Moorgate. Nice, filter coffee, made from a pot, some grinds and hot water. What could be simpler?
InterWined had two cups.
Tomorrow will find InterWined having another coffee. This time with the manager of the Pret a Manger [...] Read more:Coffee

The Coffee Continuum 2008-07-29 04:57:10 It seems that InterWined.com is temporarily becoming a food and coffee website. We promise more diverse news soon, but the coffee issues surrounding our lives just won’t die down.
In fact, InterWined recently enjoyed an espresso beer from Dark Star Brewery. We thought it was great of course, but would be interested how such a product [...] Read more:Coffee

Sick? Lose the Juice 2008-08-20 04:26:46 Researchers are reporting new evidence that common fruit juices, including orange and apple, can substantially decrease the absorption of other prescription pills, potentially wiping out their beneficial effects.
The study provides a new reason to avoid drinking fruit juice when taking certain drugs, including some that are prescribed for fighting life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, Read more:Juice
Why Look Anywhere Else? 2008-08-19 04:15:28 InterWined.com supports the concept of buying local as much as possible. It is a trend that is gaining momentum, especially in the United States, and we hope it’s here to stay. Better for the economy, better for the environment.
So, when we received an e-mail this moring for consultancy firm Weber Shandwick, we thought it proper [...] Read more:Anywhere

Gluten-Free…for What Ales You 2008-08-14 03:32:53 Man, that is one silly title.
I can’t believe I’m letting stay up there.
Anyway, InterWined spotted an unusual offering at the local Tesco: an Ale that is wheat and gluten free.
Now, granted we know very little about ‘beers’ (trying to learn more) but isn’t wheat a big part of the beverage?
Apparently not so for the Nick [...] Read more:Gluten
To Drink or Not to Drink? 2008-08-13 10:15:54 Recently, InterWined mouthed off about wines served in restaurants that were too warm.
And here is another problem for you to swallow, if brought about in a long-winded fashion:
We love the Zuccardi Malbec 2006 at The Wine Sampler for £9. It’s full of blackberries, with a hint of rose on the palate. There is also [...] Read more:Drink
Organic Panic 2008-08-11 05:25:54 InterWined met last week with the owners of the excellent wine shop, Organic
o, located in the Lake District to talk about organic wine. Like InterWined, Organico, closely follows developments in organic viticulture (ALL of their wines are organic) as well as other green issues related to the industry, such as the transportation of wine in [...] Read more:Panic
Bedeviled Wine Choices 2008-09-10 05:20:20 Lunch yesterday at Canteen restaurant in London provided an unusual challenge for InterWined in trying to find what wine pairs with both devilled kidneys on toast and potted duck with piccalilli?
Canteen is a different sort of place that seems hit-or-miss with many of its diners. In fact, more miss than hit, as the pro-Canteen [...]
Got Milk? Careful… 2008-09-09 04:37:31 Milk may help prevent potentially dangerous bacteria like Staphylococcus from being killed by antibiotics used to treat animals, scientists heard September 8, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology’s Autumn meeting held at Trinity College, Dublin.
Bacteria sometimes form structures called biofilms that protect them against antibiotics and the body’s natural defences. Now scientis Read more:Careful
Still on Holiday? 2008-09-04 03:37:21 You bet your taste vin!
InterWined is still on holiday…but will be returning next week. In the meantime, to keep your toddies warm…we have some info that has been previously misreported in the press:
Victoria Beckham spent £5000 (not £8000!) at a recent dinner at ITHACA, a Japanese restaurant in Manchester on Thursday 28th August. She was [...] Read more:Holiday
Hacked … Off 2008-10-02 09:09:48 Ladies and Gentlemen, if you scroll down on the right hand side of the page, our dear site has been hacked and filled with unwanted links.
All of our hard work was compromised quite easily and there is nothing we can do about it for the moment, except of course, blame the Russians.
We’ve been delisted from [...] Read more:Hacked
Fresh off the press… 2008-09-30 04:21:29 More and more Brits are becoming oenophiles with a third of us having at least ten bottles in storage at home and one in three having visited a vineyard on a recent holiday. However, we’ve still got some way to go with one in four of us thinking Sauvignon Blanc is a brand name [...]
Drinking Water Innovation 2008-09-18 04:26:59 Most western countries’ drinking water is of excellent quality, but there is no room for complacency. The challenges are growing: undesirable contaminants are found in rivers, lakes and groundwater.
Climate change is also warming waterbodies, with implications for water quality, and in developing countries more and more people are reliant on groundwater containing natural contaminants. In [. Read more:Drinking

The English Wine Puzzle 2008-09-17 04:42:22 InterWined is not English
. InterWined may be written in English, but often this is where the similarities end.
We present this shaky intro as a segue to an even shakier premise: the English approach to wine is so very unique that to the outsider, it is sometimes puzzling.
Take for example the recent decision of a food [...] Read more:Puzzle
