This is for those of you in the UK.

My colleague came home from her travels yesterday via London and armed with a copy of the newly free-to-air Evening Standard. In Andrew Neather’s column “The Discerning Drinker” he recommends Spanish wines including the Marks and Spencer Manzanilla made by Williams and Humbert.

It clocks in at £5.99.

Worth a try I would have thought. Even with the days drawing in I’m sure there will be opportunities for sipping this with a few strips of Serrano ham, an olive or two, or even better some nice and crispy whitebait.
