[Juniper] berries have their own regional “terroir” just like wine, depending on rainfall and sunshine, according to the findings, which have been published in the Journal of the Institute of Brewing....
“For a multibillion-pound industry, which is increasingly focused on consistency and quality for its discerning consumers, this represents a risk.”

This climate cult has to go. This is just stupid and insane.
Wait, all gin tastes the same? What?
Would have to be a considerable change for the better to get me to touch the stuff. Let's be honest- how could you tell if it tasted worse?
InBev coming out with gin made with carefully curated climate change adjusted infusions in three, two, one...
Damn I wish I had thought of that earlier.
Maybe with special "almond" flavor, for those seeking to get rid of inconvenient guests.
I'm a casual drinker, mostly at work-related activities. About 8-9 years ago, I found red wine (my preferred for a long time) was making me constantly sleepy after one glass. Beer didn't sit right with me. I didn't like tequila, whiskey/scotch/bourbon. I discovered gin and tonics were like perfect professional drink for me - I could enjoy them but not get drunk, I could switch to seltzer and lime with no social pressure to switch back to alcohol, I felt great with them, I enjoyed them, and they didn't make my lips/teeth discolor (like red wine did).
I've now enjoyed a lot of gin and have a fairly good palate for it. There are ENORMOUS variations, like most spirits. Fun fact: IcelandAir has a gin and tonic menu in their business class seats as of a few years ago and it was FANTASTIC and a cheaper way to fly to europe in some cases.
I will happy read any story on the climate change impact on gin as long as it shows both the downsides and upsides. If it's only downsides, why do I even believe the story?

Of course they've brought forth juniper berries! They're juniper bushes! What do you expect?!
It's a baby. No, it's a fetus. Semantic seance... science. It's religious, regulatory mischief with benefits. Abort.
At least it's no longer anthropogenic. It is. Not catastrophic. It's not. A welcome change from models with anthropogenic intelligence (AI) biases to thermodynamic evolutionary modes of natural law and order, and carbon conservation.
Total BS.

A "burden", you say. A mystery of natural origin by Choice... uh, choice. A snide remark, a little Planned poison when you can afford it, will offer relief in a sanctuary state.
I’ve been assured we’ll all be killed by climate change long before the gin becomes undrinkable
After the first one you switch to the cheap gin anyway.
Everyone! To the fainting couches! Quick!
When *is* that acid rain / hole in the ozone due? Cheers
Oh puh-leeeeez! An we just stop with the climate crap? Earth’s climate has changed continuously for the 4.5 BILLION years that there’s been a planet earth. Do the climate alarmists propose that we freeze the climate in place? How do they propose to do that? Day by day what temperature and rainfall do they propose day for, say, Woodstock, Virginia? Will they let us vote on it?
Every single piece of junk science that has been used to push the Climate Change hoax has been thoroughly debunked by real scientists, often to the detriment of the real scientists’ careers (e.g., Judith Curry). Michael Mann’s hickey stick was debunked within months of its publication, yet it continues to be the hidden junk science behind the “we’re doomed if we don’t do something right NOW!”
As if that wasn’t enough, there’d a strain of the Climate Change hoax that tells gullible nitwits on campus that China and India are building coal-fired electrical generation plants do it’s up to the USA to fo extra to compensate for them. Ah, no way. We are not the world’s saviors, get that right out of your heads and put it where the sun don’t shine.
Now I’m really convinced about climate change! I had been very skeptical, but if there’s even the slightest chance it will adversely affect my G&T, then we must stop climate change at any cost.
Never mind the fucking berries! That Yale Philosophy professor is moving to Canada. Brain drain! What about finding a cure for cancer? Fuck!
What, no climate concerns about the effect on quinine? Think of the tonic!
And while I’m at it, the damage done to Dr. Curry’s career at the hands of (much lesser) male scientists with no pushback whatsoever from 21st century American feminists means that those “feminists” care more about conforming to Progressive Narratives than actually supporting talented females in academia (or anywhere else).
I'm with Pete and Kate. This is a catastrophe of the highest order.
BTW, I was so disappointed when I found out years ago that Bombay Gin wasn't actually blue.
I got over it.
Word to the unwary: don't imbibe spirits and publish.

Can the berries tell the difference between natural and manmade (if any) changes in rainfall and sunshine and adjust for it themselves? Because if not, I'm not seeing why this matters at all.
Chuck hardest hit.
When I see a story with the words "study finds" or "study shows" it always pegs my BS meter, because it's almost always somebody noodling around with a statistics package until they get a 'publishable' result.
Gin is nasty. Climate can't change that
Wait until they find out what Covid does to taste and smell, yet no complaints about Fauci / NIH funding it.
Climate alarmists holding "Stuff White People Like" hostage.
I stopped drinking hard liquor 15 years ago, but even when I did, I could only drink Gin with fresh Lime/Lemon and mineral water over ice. Martinis were never my thing. Even when made at home. Ordering them at a bar or restaurant was always a crap shoot. Too warm, too sweet, too whatever.
Now that i think about it, the only hard liquor that l really liked was expensive Scotch. And I rarely drank it because, if i drank one whiskey it would lead to another and another and another.

Gin is delicious. Bombay Sapphire is my favorite liquor.
You know what's really nasty? Vodka. It's how people who hate alcohol and hate themselves get drunk.
Justice Thomas has a word or two about "experts". I concur.
Well woopity-doo.
All alcoholic drinks are acquired tastes.
Damn I hate vodka. If i had to choose between gasoline and vodka, i'd be stumpted. Question: Whats the difference between Great vodka and average Vodka? Answer: The price.
Someone up thread is right. Alcoholics usually end up drinking vodka. Because you can pour it in Tomato Juice or Orange Juice or pretty anything else. And its no loss. I was reading that Imus used to drink a quart of vodka a day, when he was an Alcoholic. And that was before Breakfast. Which was even more Vodka.
> After the first one you switch to the cheap gin anyway.
Speak for yourself, bud.
> Chuck hardest hit
Awwww, somebody beat me to it.
The “study” just found juniper berries taste different from different areas of the world. Duh!Then they say it’s all a matter of rainfall, ignoring differences of soil composition or anything else not having to do with “climate change.” Then Guardian takes it from there, adding supposition on supposition to end up with variation X on the theme, “Climate change is bad, mkay?”
I started drinking Bombay Sapphire in 1988, the same year Al Gore reset the narrative from “global cooling” to “global warming.” Over a third of a century has passed, and my gin tastes the same and my island (Manhattan) still isn’t under water.
Albania: the canary in the mineshaft.

That was me too only with good bourbon or real moonshine.
I have been around high functioning alcoholics. One thing I learned. Either they see what is coming and they quit or they don't and die.
