Credit crunch wine punch up!

The sale of onions is going through the roof! Demand is massive according to onion sellers and producers. Restaurants are virtually empty and closing down at an alarming rate! These are sure-fire indicators that in these hard pressed times the great British public are choosing to stay at home and cook! Yes dinner parties and that cosy meal for two are on the increase.
So apart from the food and the company. What do you need to make the evening a sure fire success? A nice bottle of wine, or three, of course. And where would you go to buy that wine? Not your local supermarket it seems? Oh no it seems that despite the great opportunity to get the average wine buyer to trade up the big boys who control and dominate the market are peddling even more of their innocuous three quide, and less God help us, utter, utter cats piss in a bottle! My God what are they on?
Perhaps Justine Rose chief ex of Sainsbugs is reading this? Or even Sir Terry Lehey of Tescos? In case they are, here is a little tip boys. PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE AND STILL HAVE A GOOD TIME. SOD THE CREDIT CRUNCH! Instead of going out and paying through the nose for over priced mediocre wine in restaurants people can afford to push the boat out a bit in the comfort of their own homes. Experiment a bit.Once you get above £5 a bottle a whole new world opens up. A wonderful world of great tasting and characterfull wines that you could spend the rest of your life exploring and never spend more than £10.00. So why would anyone want to buy a bottle of Spanish rose at £2.89! Because they think they are getting a bargain?
Look, do the maths. At bottle of wine at £3.00 contains £1.57 duty and 15% vat. Once all the other costs have been paid THERE IS NO WINE LEFT! The only people who benefit from these deals are the supermarkets and all you and your guests will get is pissed and a headache in the morning.

Please. Wine drinkers everywhere. There is so much more to wine drinking than just getting some alcohol down your neck the cheapest way possible. Live a bit eh?
