Wine Club: Delicious, great-value wines from Domaine du Grand Mayne

This ridiculous cost of profiteering crisis is taking its toll. All of us – apart from the sleek, smug fat cats – are suffering and tightening our belts, but I’m damned if I’m going to be done out of my vino. And I’m damned if you are too. I mean, what else is there to take our minds off things during these dark days of doom and despondency?  I take my duties as your drinks editor seriously and feel it timely, therefore, to reintroduce you to the wines of Domaine du Grand Mayne, producer of some of the tastiest, best-value wines around.

I know you know this but just to remind you: the Côtes de Duras lies near Bordeaux, between Saint-Emilion and Bergerac, and grows the exact same grape varieties (plus a few more obscure ones) on identical soil in an identical climate.
