Qantas Airlines Is Training Their Flight Attendants To Be Sommeliers - UPROXX

Read the full article: Qantas Airlines Is Training Their Flight Attendants To Be Sommeliers - UPROXX:

"Now, you’re probably thinking, “This is only for first class, right?” Actually, no. It’s for anyone seated on a long-haul flight. All you have to do is mosey on down to the galley and ask for the wine tasting. The blind tastings include 15 wines in total — many of which are otherwise reserved for business and first class passengers. Tasting 15 wines sounds like a great way to spend a few hours on a very long flight. Variety is key, so Qantas stocks over 250 different wines on its various flights around the world."

Eastward jet lag is worse. Here's why - CNN.com

Read the full article: Eastward jet lag is worse. Here's why - CNN.com:

"The model shows that when your eastbound trip is long enough, the pacemaker cells adjust themselves to move the brain clock backward. This "wrong direction" is what makes it extra hard to recover from long-distance eastward travels. When you go east and cross nine time zones, instead of adjusting nine hours forward, the brain clock sets 15 hours backward. This is the kind of travel where jet lag is the toughest to overcome."

"Dom Perignon was a monk at a French abbey in the 17th century.  He was also the abbey’s winemaker and is often credited (albeit erroneously) with inventing Champagne.  Legend has it that upon Perignon’s first taste of the sparkling wine he shouted, “Come quickly, brothers---I’m drinking stars!”   Today there are typically three different methods that are used to make these bubbles…some are less magical than others.  Let’s begin with the most magical."

. . . "who has ever heard of dogs being used in wineries to sniff out wine defects such as TCA (the culprit involved in a “corked” wine)?   Indeed, dogs are being used not only in wineries to find TCA, but some thinking-out-of-the-barrel folks are also using canines to identify infected wood even prior to the barrel’s construction."

This crazy U.S. Open setup could be perfect for Tiger Woods | For The Win

Tiger Woods during his first U.S. Open at Beth...
Tiger Woods during his first U.S. Open at Bethesda, Md.'s Congressional Country Club in 1997 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Read the full article: This crazy U.S. Open setup could be perfect for Tiger Woods | For The Win:

"But the thing is, with the course burnt to a crisp already, that potentially neutralizes Tiger’s biggest weakness. You don’t need to hit lots of drivers on dry courses because the ball rolls so far — indeed, Phil Mickelson said this week he only sees three driver holes on the entire course.

It’s essentially going to play like a dried-out British Open course, setups that Woods has played well on in the past: At Muirfield in 2013, Tiger was T-2 heading into the final round, and during the baked-out British Open of 2006, Tiger only hit one driver all week in what was probably the most masterful performance of his career."
