As difficult times continue, Sean Jones QC and Dominic Regan scan the supermarkets for their Christmas tips for readers
Dominic Regan and Sean Jones QC explore the wines around for Christmas in tough times.
“I accept at once that we are living in times of austerity” – Lord Justice Jackson, 30 September 2014.
Sean Jones QC and Professor Dominic Regan give Counsel a tour of the wine around this Christmas
There is an enormous range of bottles out there this year. Here are some that we think you will be glad to have bought.
Sean Jones QC and Professor Dominic Regan review the wines on offer this Christmas.
We are back with a range of recommendations again. Not a dud amongst them. Last year we saw every major supermarket chain run a “ Buy 6 get 25% off” promotion and the serious buyer should look to swoop on these deals.
Dominic Regan and Sean Jones recommend wines for the festive season.
At Christmas, even those who don’t drink, do. Here are our recommended buys for the season ahead and there is something for everyone. We anticipate a repeat this year of the internecine warfare between the big supermarkets. Keep your eyes open for buy 6 and get a 25% discount, something that all the big chains did last year. Majestic Wine now only insists that you buy a minimum of 6 bottles and their staff are very well informed.
Supermarkets now supply the bulk of wine bought for home consumption.
Dominic Regan and Seán Jones highlight some of the best champagne and wine.
