Synopsis

Collecting wine can be a serious business or simply a hobby, but wherever you sit on that scale the same basic principles apply, whether you have 60 bottles or 6,000. This book aims to be a useful guide for both enthusiastic amateurs and more serious wine buyers, helping them navigate their way through the joys and difficulties of the wine trade. From the first steps into retail wine aisles to the complex world of auctions, brokers and allocations, finding a balance that fits your budget and lifestyle is vitally important. Wine is a luxury, one of life's great pleasures, but unless you are simply in it for the money (easier said than done), then you should also only think about wines you actually like to drink.

    DWAYNE JOHNSON 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a multifaceted American entertainer, born May 2, 1972, who has achieved success as an actor, professional wrestler, and businessman. He initially gained fame in the WWE, where he was known for his charisma and catchphrases. Johnson debuted as Rocky Maivia, a name he was reluctant to use. He was a reluctant hero and after fan backlash, he turned heel, joining the Nation of Domination. His wrestling career included multiple championships and main event appearances, including a notable rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Transitioning to acting, he became one of Hollywood's highest-paid and most successful actors. He is also a successful businessman with ventures such as Teremana Tequila. The Rock has continued to make part-time returns to the WWE, most recently as "The Final Boss". 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, was initially reluctant to use the ring name "Rocky Maivia," which combined his father's and grandfather's names, but was convinced by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. He was also nicknamed "The Blue Chipper" and promoted as the WWF's first third-generation wrestler. 
      
    Although he is of both Black Nova Scotian and Samoan heritage, Johnson identifies as both equally and is proud of both. His father, Rocky Johnson, was a Black Nova Scotian with some Irish ancestry, and his mother is Samoan. 
      
    Johnson's maternal grandmother, Lia Maivia, was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death and managing it until 1988. She ran the promotion from 1982 to 1988.

    *THE INCREDIBLE COMEBACK STORY OF THE 2025 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPION*Marc Márquez is the apex predator of the MotoGP world: arguably the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived, he is a nine-time world champion. He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever.Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story.But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character.Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.

    Permaculture is more than just a gardening method; it is a holistic design system that seeks to mimic the natural world to create sustainable, resilient, and productive environments. At its core, permaculture is grounded in principles that prioritize ecological balance, efficient use of resources, and long-term sustainability. It offers an alternative approach to conventional agriculture and landscaping by encouraging the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems that require minimal input from external resources. 
    The term "permaculture" is derived from a combination of “permanent” and “agriculture,” though it has since evolved to encompass more than just agricultural practices. Permaculture is a design philosophy that aims to create systems that are not only ecologically sound but also socially and economically sustainable. It is a system of ethics and principles that can be applied to all areas of life, from food production and energy systems to community building and even urban planning. 
    One of the key tenets of permaculture is the concept of working with nature rather than against it. This means observing the natural systems around us—how water flows, how plants interact with each other, and how animals move within their environment—and designing systems that work in harmony with these natural patterns. By doing so, permaculture seeks to reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and minimize human impact on the planet.
