When it comes to alcoholic beverages, there are few I don’t support. Wine and beer are nectar of the gods and thus need no introduction. After a meal, nothing beats a whisky or brandy and a chit-chat. Gin will always be refreshing, and the quinine in tonic helps combat malaria (follow advice at your own risk, I’m not a doctor). I’ll have Guinness any day of the week, and yes, it always tastes better in Dublin. Give me an ice bar and an oversized mink coat and I’ll drink vodka till the sun comes up.

For any tech company, being responsible for the next ‘big thing’ must be a dream come true. Be it Apple with the iPhone in 2007, or GoPro in 2014 when action cameras sold like hotcakes. More recently — at least in the digital camera world — Fujifilm has taken the mantle as owner of the zeitgeist with the X100V and, more recently, the X100VI.
