Château Pétrus: does a case of top-notch Bordeaux really taste different after being in Space? euronews.com/2021/03/24/cha…
Winemakers spend infinite time and money analysing techniques to find the perfect expression of their wine.

But on Wednesday, they found out what happens when wine goes to that final frontier: space.

The space-aged wine was sent back and compared with an identical bottle that had been kept at the same temperature (18°C) on Earth. The experiment gives researchers an insight into the ageing process of wine.

On Earth, decanting or swirling wine speeds up its oxidation process. This process is affected by convection, which in space, is almost entirely nonexistent.

So can wine connoisseurs spot the difference?

Vine snippets were also sent to space, and the results surprised the researchers.

Understanding how gravity and oxygen affect the ageing process could allow producers to age fine wines more quickly. This experiment also gives clues on how to make plants on Earth more resilient to climate change and disease by exposing them to new stresses.
The complex process of winemaking, coupled with how the liquid ages in the bottle, make wine a fascinating case study in space. Read more about the findings below: 👇

In several European countries, a US-based anti-abortion organisation connected undercover reporters to local doctors for a dangerous abortion reversal treatment. euronews.com/2021/03/25/doc…
A medical abortion, possible for women who are less than 10 weeks pregnant, involves taking two pills that are up to 48 hours apart.

Supporters of abortion "reversal" claim that after taking the first pill, a woman can reverse the abortion before taking the second pill by taking high doses of progesterone. But this isn’t grounded in scientific evidence.

Dritan Abazovic says that the EU-backed court is holding up investigations into Montenegro's president, Milo Djukanovic, and his allies. euronews.com/2021/03/24/mon…
Montenegro’s new government says at least four corruption probes involving President Milo Djukanovic are currently on hold - and that the country’s EU-backed special prosecutor Milovoje Katnic is to blame.

But lawmakers in Brussels are unlikely to approve of what is being seen by critics of the new government as a witch-hunt against political rivals, Djukanovic included.

Police officers in Madrid arrested a suspected upskirter on August 21, who the officers confirm to be in the possession of 283 videos, in which 555 victims appear.

The videos were filmed on the metro or in supermarkets and uploaded by the alleged upskirter to his website.
The investigation began when “agents located a web portal dedicated to the publication of videos of explicit sexual and pornographic content with more than 20 million followers,” police said.

The suspect was arrested on August 21 on the Madrid metro, after officers observed him engaging in upskirting. They brought him to his home, searched hard drives and discovered illicit images.
