As he picks up his corkscrew, he sees my smartphone. ‘Do you want to video this?’ he says. Of course I do. I’ve travelled all the way to Putney in South London, to the house of one of the world’s most famous wine writers, for this moment, to share his last remaining bottle of 1978 Kanga Rouge, a serious wine with a silly name made at a time when Australia’s reputation in the rest of the world was at an all-time low.
