Top 10 drinks tweets of the week

This week’s collection of industry tweets features yoga meltdowns, movie quotes and celebrity spotting.

It’s been a while since the last dredge through the torrential river that is the drinks trade on twitter – we’re certainly a bunch not afraid talking (even when we might be better off listening).

And this week’s bunch show that perfectly, wether they be flailing over fashion dilemmas or letting their filthy minds run riot.

So dive in and take a look at what trade figures made it into this week’s top 10 drinks tweets of the week…
