ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Such was the brilliance of J. M.W. Turner s (1775-1851) colours that artists dreaded having their works hung near his at exhibitions.
From drinks that taste like cough medicine to sodas that contain fish roe, there is a vast and varied landscape of flavours beyond the familiar cola and lemonade.
Bubbles in beverages: Carbonation at the root of popular seltzers, water

Saturday afternoon, June 26, when the temperature reached 99, the house was a cool 73. Wine did not appeal to me, no matter how cold it was. I wanted tiny bubbles to refresh me. So, curtains drawn and doors closed, I hid inside and consumed a half-case of sparkling water and a frosty can of beer.
But I did not completely abandon wine. My novel approach for the next four days was sipping those sparkling waters from a wine glass. That made me happy, hydrated and curious about the history of CO2 and how it shaped the beverage industry and led to the rising popularity of hard seltzers.
