Domaine Lyriakis Psarades Dafni, Crete, Greece, 2020 (£9.95, The Wine Society)
It’s been a while since I’ve written about the Wine Society, a company that is quite unlike any other wine retailer around. It’s a members-only club, which you have to pay to join. Why pay a £40 fee (for a lifetime’s membership) when there are countless alternative merchants with no hoops to jump through? And I suppose, for casual wine buyers that is a bit of a deal breaker. But if you buy wine regularly, the £40 soon feels like good value. The Wine Society is a mutual so profits are re-invested, keeping the prices remarkably low when compared to others (supermarkets included). Just as important, the range is really good, whether your tastes run to the classic or to quirkier, offbeat discoveries, such as this gorgeous lemon grove-scented Greek white.
