So, things are bonkers but – thank goodness – we have wine. Supermarket shelves might be looking a little depleted in places but there are plenty of brilliant independent wine merchants still delivering (check out this list if you’re looking for one). Some are offering great deals including discounts for NHS staff and pledging to make charitable donations for every order received. Another great initiative is #theBIGenglishwinegoodfriday happening this Friday, 10th April at 7pm. The idea came from winemaker Jacob Leadley (he makes fabulous English sparkling wines) who figured that if as many of us as possible order a bottle direct from our local vineyard for a virtual tasting it’ll go some way to help an industry hit hard by the C-word. So I’ll be there, glass in hand, on Friday. Here’s hoping you can (virtually) join me.
