But do you, a committed Scotch man, like the Irish product? An interesting physics/fine wines connection was Schwinger’s spending his Nobel Prize money on setting up a vineyard (which subsequently also won prizes) - co-recipient Feynman was of course securely on the wagon by that point

Funnily (maybe) one of Marconi’s test transmissions took place much nearer to that other Irish distillery on the North coast. So one can visit Marconi’s Cottage, near Ballycastle, in the heart of Bushmills country.
