Tim Atkin MW has quit his wine column for The Times after 10 months after the space devoted to it was reduced.
In his newsletter he said: "I have decided to resign from my role as a wine writer on The Times. The newspaper has scaled back my contribution to T2 in recent months (a depressingly familiar story in the national press) and I feel that you, my regular readers, want and deserve more in-depth pieces from me. Watch this space."
Responding to messages of support on Twitter, Atkin said: "Thanks for all the nice tweets and emails about me leaving The Times. Totally my decision. Bigger fish ..."
Atkin, who joined the Murdoch newspaper after 17 years with the Observer, declined to make any further comment.
