Hello again all! After talking about dessert wines last time, I briefly touched upon Port wines, but only in passing. I thought I would take some time to look at the different styles available, and opportunities in which to sell them.

Hello again all! Following on from last month’s column about add-ons to the bill in the shape of aperitifs, I thought it fitting to continue with some dessert wines to finish off that meal in the same vein - adding the little extras on to the bill to get your spend per head up.

HELLO again all! As we are now finally moving into a phased opening up period, I thought I would continue with some slightly more premium options that may entice your customers to spend a little more money, and hopefully make the long road to recovery a little shorter.

Happy New Year to one and all, let us hope it gets better for our industry soon. I thought this month I would talk about some ways to help get some extra cash flow through your businesses when we can again serve a glass or two of wine to our customers, using trends in wine to your advantage.

Seeing as we have entered the winter months in proper fashion now, I thought it would be good to talk about some full-bodied and heart-warming red wines that help to keep out the cold and keep up the defences
