    From Edward Johnson I regret to say that Katie Gibb’s article, Uncorking wine’s characteristics, added little to my understanding of wine chemistry (Chemistry World, December 2005, p39). I have been trying to get to the bottom of some wine issues for years. About eight years ago, I spoke ...

    From Graham Hills How many chemistry departments do we need? How long is a piece of string? If you ask a simplistic question you must expect a simplistic answer. All that your correspondents are able to offer are patched-up versions of the status quo (Chemistry World, October 2005, p11). More ...
