What is The Spirits Wire?
The Spirits Wire is a daily, source-grounded read on the beverage alcohol and spirits trade, folded into Liquor Bets. Each item is a concise briefing linked to its original public source, timestamped, and connected to a market you can forecast where one exists. It is a feed, not a newsroom.
Is The Spirits Wire written by AI?
It is AI-assisted and source-grounded. AI helps collect, classify, and summarize public industry news. It does not create facts. Every published item links to its original public source with a timestamp, and a human publishes each item before it goes live.
Are the illustrations real photographs or evidence?
No. Illustrations on the Wire are commissioned single-panel editorial cartoons. They are observational and interpretive, not photographs, and they are not evidence that anything happened. Every image is labelled as an editorial illustration.
Where do the items come from?
Items are grounded in public sources, which are always linked and named. Some items are surfaced through private curation; in those cases we record that an item was curated without naming the private feed, and the citation still points at the original public publisher.
How current is the feed?
Each item carries the original source publish date, and the feed shows an explicit freshness stamp in Eastern Time so you always know how current the read is.
