Earlier this month I spotted a post calling out for applications to join the Vinspire team. If you haven't already come across Vinspire (come on, catch up), it's a UK-based drinks blog covering everything from wine to whisky, cordial to cognac, tea to tequila.
Behind the blog you'll find a group of fresh faced wine and alcohol-in-general-mad friends, who all work in the drinks industry, or have boozy qualifications of some kind. They each write a weekly blog post about something that's exciting them at the time, be it a particular tipple, a feature on a tasty topic, a recipe, etc, etc.
Despite what you might think, there's certainly no snobbiness involved here, and you can tell that from every honest post; their passion shines through, and the blog acts as a resourceful portfolio for new drinks to try.
Anyway, back to the point.
I applied.
.. and got accepted! *squeal*
I went on a bit of a whim to be honest. I read many a conflicting article on what we might be sipping this year - some of those drink-fuelled folks sure have strong opinions - but I managed to jot down my own 2014 Drinks Trend Predictions nonetheless. In short, we might expect even simpler cocktails, savoury experiments, the forgotten fighting back and extra emphasis on 'craft'/'bespoke'. You can read my piece on the Vinspire website.
Well, now it's the end of all those 'Dry January' resolutions, why not take a look and get involved in some quality 2014 beverages. You can follow the blog on Facebook and Twitter too, and keep an eye out for my posts every Monday afternoon.
