The Finns have a word “kyykkyviini” which means “squat wine". The cheapest low quality wine at the bottom of the shelf. The upcoming duty changes from @hmtreasury @Jeremy_Hunt are not only inflationary. They mean that's all ordinary British wine drinkers will be able to afford...

We made it! Our virtual 4000km challenge from West Drayton to Sicily is now complete. We're delighted to have raised over £2700 for @HillingdonWomen. There is still time to help us reach our target, so if you can help us hit £3K that would be incredible.

⬆️ 10.1% in alcohol duty
📈20%/44p per bottle duty increase for #wine. Largest since 1975🍷
📈 10%/76p for #spirits. Largest since 1981 🍸
👉🏼 Inflationary
👉🏼 anti-consumer
👉🏼 anti-business, esp #SMEs

"It’s exactly the sort of place I want to find — while the industry is still massively under the cosh — to winkle out the gems."

I don’t really want to walk through Edinburgh like:
‘Get the fuck out of my way tourists, this is my city’
When I don’t even live here any more and haven’t for 15 years.
But here we are…
(Soz tourists)
Definitely worth the many stages to put it all together. #cassoulet instagram.com/p/Cf-_t8LoVdx/…

Oh my. There were also more ‘regular’ wines tonight, but these were fascinating glimpses into the past of the south of Italy. Thanks to Steven for sourcing.
