Bordeaux Quay, Bristol

Had a really enjoyable time in Bristol this weekend. What a well run event by Chris Scholes! Met lots of cool people like John Avery, Ivan Dixon from Harvey Nichs, Suzy Atkins. Take a look...

We also met some other greta exhibitors including: Tim from Stawberry hills vineyard  loved his merlot! John from Domain Treloar. He has to be Cornish with a name like that... Will from the tasting room in Bath.  Trevor from SA wine importer.

Over the top Darling!

Duty on Wine is just another 'Stealth Tax' - Comment...

Seriously, in the UK we pay £1.56 per bottle (plus VAT) compared to most European coutries paying either nothing or a few pence. And yet the Goverment have relaxed licensing laws to allow all day drinking...

Most wine is consumed by the middle classes reasonably in the comfort of their own homes.

A tax on the middle classes?

Surely not Darling...
