Drinkability

Some twaddle tweeted on twitter has led to a discussion on drinkability over at Boak and Bailey's. It's a term that I've always thought had a bleedin' obvious meaning, but it would seem it's not obvious to all.

I was also surprised to see it stated that:

So if I get time this week I'll look into it and see if I can bring some science to discussions on drinkability.
