Welcome to the weekend those of you who have chosen to take August in the UK, land of sunlit meadows (cheers, Boris)
Tonight I’m cutting back a bit on expenditure having done a rough calculation of my annual wine tab & the lack of sunlit meadows. Do I really need to drink bottles costing £15 and upwards ?

For a very reasonable £10.95. Which brings me to another point: we no longer buy wine with cash and the 95p is no longer needed (the cashier had to open the till to find a 5p change, thus preventing the checkout person pocketing the notes) - why do TWS and all others still persist in the .95 price?
Anyway - on to the wine. Absolutely ready to drink merlot/ cabernet blend, it could be from anywhere in the world but that is not to detract from a very decent glass of wine. A light Bordeaux nose, very correct, plums and redcurrant, a light balance of tannin, finish just gently fades away.
Thoroughly decent. Not a challenge to +£15 bottles but it is, what it is.
