Falling demand, trade wars and red tape cast an uncertain mood over this week's London Wine Fair. Can the wine trade survive? Plus: what I've been drinking this week
An interesting and perceptive read Andy - lightened by such phrases as "Seedlip slammers on a lads’ night out" ;-). Sorry to have missed you on Monday.
Agree totally on the Majestic Garnacha , which I think is one of the stars of their range.Very agreeable,but I remember it costing nearer £8 quite recently.
Good to see Macedonian wine with a presence! Any sign of Montenegro? On holiday there in a couple of weeks! In preparation going to a talk on Balkan food as part of the BL food weekend. One of the speakers is a fermentation specialist, should I be worried?
Ex-Oddbins "veterans"! I shall add Farrington, High Holborn, Old Street, Seven Dials, Notting Hill and Bayswater to my battle honours.
A kombucha strike must become the go to protest option for the armchair rebel.
Very unpleasant but very pious…

Thanks Alison!

Thanks. Unfortunately that is the current price though…

Ha! No, fermented foods are interesting. Afraid I’ve never seen any Montenegro wines…
