Harry in WashDC Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Can one of you English majors please tell me what this means? I have no idea what's going on. Says Malandrakis, “While terms such as authenticity and craftsmanship are losing traction, the trajectories of sophistication, moderation, perceived exotic credentials, accessibility and restrained yet grounded aspirational attributes remain the key driving forces fuelling pockets of buoyancy.” As far as I know, this means we are all returning to the bottom shelf. And home brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And home brew. Kinda sounded the opposite to me. Quality booze in a plain brown wrapper is losing traction but crap with an exotic back story that makes the pseudo cognoscenti think they look like they are super cool is carrying the day. Or some crap like that. But it is pretty much Greek to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
