    You’ve already bought her chocolates; you’ve already given her flowers. This year, the best way to truly indulge your mum this Mothering Sunday is with some home-grown, English sparkling wine. Chapel Down has the perfect gift for every mum, ranging from a single indulgent bottle to a whole set of her very own vines.

  • Brown Brothers spice up wine

    Now I must confess that I have never been convinced about wine with Indian food. I’ve been to no end of press events where a top sommelier hired by a fancy Indian restaurant has introduced a wine and food pairing menu. Some have been fun, all have been interesting, but throughout I have been unable to rid myself of one cynical thought - they want to convince us to drink wine with Indian because there’s a bigger mark up on wine than on lager. There I’ve said it.
