WINE IDEAS

It’s a short list but adequate. Prices start at €8 a glass, €30 a bottle for a French Sauvignon Blanc and Italian Nero d’Avola. The dependable if unexciting MâconLugny from the Caves de Lugny is €9/€38, Esperanza Rueda (right) is fresh and zesty at €9/€35. The unnamed Côtes du Rhône would need to be a good one to justify €9.50/€39 and I can’t understand why the hugely popular Punto Final Malbec is available only by the bottle at €43.
