James Franklin of Corney & Barrow presented a very strong selection for this offer, any bottle of which I would have been happy to recommend. We did finally narrow it down to four wines, though, and a tip-top quartet it is too.
Readers will be delighted to hear that all prices are discounted, and the celebrated Brett-Smith Indulgence (£6 off per case) will apply to purchases of one or more cases. For ease, the cheaper prices shown below include both the discount and the BSI.
The 2014 Moscato d’Asti Fratelli Antonio e Raimondo (1) is charm incarnate; if you know of a better mid-morning reviver, lead me to it. It’s honeyed, grapey (don’t laugh, Muscat/Moscato is the only grape whose fermented juice actually smells of grapes) and wonderfully fresh and frothy. It’s also ridiculously light in alcohol. £8.95, down from £9.
