Men without LinkedIn built this.

3 years ago I won a Silver Medal for the first wine I EVER made.

Absolutely. The point I'm making is that most wines that are vegan are not labeled vegan

I'm glad someone got it 🤣🤝

Depends on the severity. To a layman, they egg doesn't stay in the wine, but you never know with someone who has severe issues

I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY.

Might turn off my brain for the rest of the day unless you can tell me how it was used

Probably don't mess with the finished product. This is more valuable when there is a lot more for it to bind to in the barrel.

Other fining agent exist and they could have used one of those.

With one glass, it could be a cool experiment tho

Bear Market influensors always look HOT in their "Before" pictures.

Eggs can Make Wine Great Again

Seriously. Egg whites are used in red wine as a natural clarifying agent to soften tannins, reduce astringency, and improve mouthfeel.

You pour the egg whites in, stir, and wait.🧵

A protein called albumin binds to sediment, settles out, and leaves a clearer, smoother, egg-free wine.

How do you know if a wine was clarified this way? You won’t, unless you meet the winemaker and ask.

Ingredient labels are not required, and it would probably kill sales if a winemaker went around telling everyone he uses eggs.

On the flip side, you also can’t tell if a wine didn’t use this process. A wine labeled vegan won’t have been clarified with eggs, but many self-respecting winemakers, like me, can’t bring themselves to label their wines ‘VEGAN’ even if they are.

Because of the implication.

Vibes tonight are nooby

Think we could do one of these for nostr:nprofile1qqsqkaay6mxplgv3f9z0ep0rq4w8jrte3rvcm43xd2cgehsjevglmdcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqpyvv9

We're using that show to spread the word about businesses built by Bitcoiners to expose them to Bitcoiners.

Bitcoiners want high quality products and the option to spend their Bitcoin and these businesses want better customers and to be paid in Bitcoin

Our job is to connect them

Satoshi's Reserve auction starts tomorrow at scarce.city

2023 Satoshi’s Reserve is Estate Pinot Noir, selected as the single best barrel of the vintage.

Bottles #1 and #21 are their own lots. Bottles #2–#20 are a grouped lot with a draft style pick order

How long can I keep getting away with this?

This is what being an adult looks like to me.

Most wines taste the same.

I've commonly opened bottles and thought "I've had this wine before" even if its from a producer I've never heard of.

Most wine is made as a commodity. It is made to be an alcoholic beverage and there's nothing wrong if your main goal is to get drunk.

Wine can be far more than that. Winemaking sits between art and science, but when focusing on the bottom line, the art is usually the first thing removed.

Price isn't everything, but as you start going up, the commodity wine begins to disappear.

Anyone with a winemaking degree from UC Davis can make technically correct wine, but it takes an artist to make interesting wine.

Drink whatever tastes good, but if you have never understood why people get fall down the wine rabbithole it's probably because you've mostly been exposed to commodity wine

Which of these wine boxes feels more high end?
