Thank you Mark for your quick response.
I was thinking of keeping the tags associated with each user (his 
interests) in a separate database.
I would only store the news articles in ES.
When the user requests recommended articles I would fetch his tags and 
build a query containing all these tags.
Would this be a decent way of doing it?
I was worried that ES couldn’t handle these huge queries (potentially 
hundreds of tags) but apparently I was underestimating ES.

Thanks
