Waitrose Easter Wine And Food Pairing Guide 2026!
The first long weekend of the year is finally upon us, and it’s one of the best. An excuse for roasts, an excuse for chocolate, and most importantly, a very good excuse to open a bottle of something good! Waitrose Cellar has a wonderful mix of premium, unique, quality wines and an exquisite fizz selection that is well worth checking out. They excel in English wine in particular if you’re feeling like some patriotic celebration. And, of course, there’s plenty of old favourites in there too. I’ve…

The Latest Warehouse Wines Case Review
With changing seasons, new wines in the range and the desire to impress us, Warehouse Wines kindly sent me a selection of wines from their latest intro case to cast my opinion on. If you don’t know what sets them apart, it is their ability to leverage exceptional value through direct sourcing straight from the winemakers. Their key goal is to get their customers high-quality wines below £10. Yes, there are plenty of £10 and under wines on the market, but most are pretty awful examples of the…

Rex Mundi Wines: World ending or world changing?
Rex Mundi are wines as striking as their label. The flagship is a blend of Shiraz and Grenache from the Languedoc-Roussillon, where the Mediterranean climate is extremely favourable for wine production. Rex Mundi is not, as you might expect, yet another Hollywood celebrity, but Latin for ‘King of the World’. This stems from the Cathar religion, which began in this region of France during the 12th and 14th centuries. This fabled King was in fact some form of Satan who created all matter, thus…

Wine52 Case Review: Classic Italy
This month, Wine52 are returning to an old favourite, Italy. We have seen a few Italian cases from Wine52 over the past year, exploring Sicily, Puglia, Campania and more. And there is good reason for this. The beauty of Italy is that there is so much to explore, so many regions, so many indigenous grape varieties and so many regional specialties. You can keep returning to Italian wines for years and never get through them all. And no, I don’t mean your average Chianti or Barolo, but rather these…

The Best Non Alcoholic & Low Alcohol Wines At Naked
Growing interest in the alcohol-free and low-alcohol sector has been a well-known phenomenon for quite some time now. Each year you’ll see headlines marvelling at how their market share keeps growing, but at some point, this incredulity has got to be toned down. It’s really not much of a surprise anymore. This clamour is led chiefly by beer and spirits, but wine has had a surge as the technology becomes more affordable and the market grows. The real surprise is quite how bad the communication…

Wine52 Case Review: The Winemaker's Way
Wine is often considered mystical, with many drinkers just enjoying the taste and using it in its traditional social lubricant role. However, this Wine52 case can begin to change all that for you. The reality is, that whilst there are a plethora of winemaking techniques that can seem daunting, they are actually very easy to understand. If you just put a few minutes of googling into use before diving into your glass, it will really open up your understanding and appreciation of what it is that…

January 2026 Clearance Sales!
January is increasingly the time that people give dry January a go and usually give up around about now. Good effort though! The fact is a dry month isn’t the secret to a healthier lifestyle, what you really need is a concerted effort to lower your overall consumption throughout the week (I include myself). For, as with dieting, there are no quick fixes (maybe Ozempic) nor cheat codes to healthier living, it has to be a permanent lifestyle change. I am not at all advocating for (un)Godly…

Champagne Tour: Bollinger and Hautvillers - Part 5
Part 5 returns after the holiday rush, making now an ideal time to revisit my Champagne trip from last May. If you’re planning a summer getaway, I recommend this trip — check out my earlier blogs to get an idea of various other houses I visited as well as some general tips on Reims and Epernay. Continuing the tour, this was to be our very first day where we only visited one Champagne house (terrible I know), before having a bit more free time to explore the region around Epernay. However, it was…

Wine52 Case Review: Food & Wine of Italy
This month, in celebration of all things Christmas, Wine52 are giving away a FREE case of wine to all new customers, themed around Italian wine and food pairings. This is an intrinsic part of Italian culture with each region, each city and each tiny mountain town having their very own dish, and of course wine, that are matches made in heaven. There’s a reason that pairing food with wine from the same place works so well. The historical growth of both food and wine have grown culturally together…
