The blog

The news that a few more of us are buying wines costing £100 a bottle from the supermarket is good news for retailers but are we becoming more sophisticated consumers or just more affluent? Is price a good indicator of quality or, like many things these days, is it all part of a clever branding exercise?
Will the threat of global warming achieve what the English Tourist Board never managed to do and attract coach-loads of French wine makers to Southern England in search of the ideal spot for a picnic?

Competitions

The competitions section of LoveThatWine is one of the most visited parts of our site. The latest competition (at the time of writing), is being run in conjunction with AllAboutYou. We are giving away a "Connoisseur Secret" hamper full of delicious goodies from the Heavenly Hamper Company. So get your thinking caps on... Most LoveThatWine subscribers will have little difficulty answering the qualifying question and after that, it's the luck of the draw!
