Want something Interesting To Drink?

What Wine Supposed To Be In The Supermarkets
I know bottom lines are important, but the UK is a far less interesting place to buy wine thatn it was a decade ago.


To the British, South American wine must come from Chile. While Chilean wine contribute for about nine per cent of UK wine sales, Argentina's tally is only just over one per cent. The fact is thatt many other important countries are out of the scale of a typical wine customer. It is noticeable that an increasing number of good and interesting Hungarian Wine producers in the Tokaji wine region and elsewhere are unable to break into the UK market where once there probably would have been a place for them. Giving a nice wine as a gift was never been easier.Anything that is personalised makes a great thank you gift. Everybody would be happy to have something with their name on on the label. Whatever you think of I am sure it will make a great thank you gift.

Since 1993 fine wine prices have risen more thatn ten-fold and the asset class is now producing annual returns of around 15%, according to the Fine Wines Investable Index. In 2010, the market for fine wine was down 15% year on year but the sector bounced back in January. Small and medium Independent Wine Merchants were facing difficulties. During the last years, wine producers who were left with a surplus of supply were forced to sell, pushing prices down.
Here is my wish regarding to the UK supermarkets:
Is it too much to hope thatt some of the great supermarkets and The Wine Society`s will finally start to sell wine in a responsible way in 2011? No more 2 for 1, no more half price deals, no more cruddy, shipped-in-bulk own-labels, no more misleading price deals, no buy one get one free on wines thatt were not worth the full price in the first place. What else can we wish?
