BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Features - Perfect festive wine (#)
„"It needs to be kept airtight then you can pour it off through a coffee filter - you can't make a mistake, just do it," he said.You can't keep it in a decanter for too long, just one week means it loses a lot of its flavour complexities, so you do really need to have a decent amount of people around.Even though Christmas is now dominated by cream liquers after dinner, Phil urged that whisky should not be forgotten - and there are few things better than a decent single malt.As an after dinner malt, Laphroaig is a top selection (and a nice present, if the family are reading), which starts at £22, and The Glenrothes is another excellent Scotch - the 1989 bottle is particularly recommended.“

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | GM decaf coffee plant created
„Bitter battle Pablo Dubois, from the ICO, said: "The global market for coffee is about $70bn a year, and decaf makes up about 10% of that. "The main issue would be the economics - is it going to be cheaper to buy GM seeds and grow them than to decaffeinate coffee as we do now?" Other researchers, some in commercial companies, have been working on GM decaf for several years. But Professor Alan Crozier, from the biochemistry department in Glasgow University, UK, says this is the first credible evidence that the GM decaffeination concept actually works. "They've got the caffeine level down by about 70%.“

BBC News | HEALTH | Caffeine 'reduces productivity'
„The average cup of coffee contains about 100mg of caffeine. Of 1,000 office workers surveyed for Volvic mineral water, 76% said they drank tea, coffee or caffeinated cola more than three times during the working day, with one in 20 consuming more than 10 drinks. Stress specialist Dr David Lewis, who analysed the research for Volvic, is calling for traditional morning and afternoon breaks to be scrapped. Toilet visits He said: "Our clinical research found that a high caffeine intake (more than 350mg during the working day) acts as a powerful diuretic and causes people to visit the toilet more frequently, which can lead to performance-zapping dehydration.“
