Wine writer Neil Pendock, author of Sour Grapes, found reason to expand on the theme of his book’s title following the announcement of the closing of The Weekender newspaper. That’s another wine column lost, he writes:

The bombshell that this is the last weekend of the Weekender evoked the usual progression of emotions running the gamut from D to D: dismay, disgust, despair. From the B-(Bacchanalian) perspective, it’s yet another nail in the coffin of wine hackery with the loss of yet another wine column although agile Michael Fridjhon has a fallback slot on Business Day. But the loss of Penny Haw’s wine features (worth the cover price alone) is a tragedy, as no other organ covers her angles.
