I don't drink wine, but I like to have half a dozen bottles in just in
case. Jacob's Creek and Blossom Hill go down well, both usually under £5.
When I get off my lazy arse, I'll be making a few gallons of chamomile
and orange blossom mead (technically methglyn, cos it's spiced). I'll
reserve a bottle or two for you.
