One is a Kickstarter project called Foot Trodden: Portugal and the Wines that Time Forgot, a new book by Simon J Woolf and Ryan Opaz. The second is a Twitter debate that (with tongue firmly in cheek) is referenced as #coravingate, where proponents and opponents of Coravin’s wine preservation system weighed in. It’s an impressive showing and I’m sure I’m not the only backer who’s happy for Woolf and Opaz’s success. I asked this question about #coravingate to Greg Lambrecht, the inventor and founder of Coravin, and his response was characteristically well-reasoned and considered. It amounted to a calm voice of reason among the swell of adrenaline that otherwise characterizes so strongly the online response, a year into COVID, to both #coravingate and Woolf and Opaz’s Kickstarter campaign.
