So here we are again, pubs shuttered, restaurants closed, our hospitality industry on the edge of collapse. The furlough scheme may ensure that employees are looked after, but those bills keep flooding in. And it’s not just the restaurateurs, publicans and hoteliers that suffer, but the whole supply chain. Which is why our support is more important than ever.
Restaurants and producers have pivoted with admirable speed, putting together magnificent cook-at-home kits, giving a taste of your favourite place delivered to your door. I’ll be picking the very best, available nationwide, from the glittering heights of Michelin-starred masters, to the more homely charms of dazzling regional cuisines. Along with takeaway reviews and favourite suppliers. Not so much Eat Out To Help Out, as Splash Out To Keep Them Alive.

From bargain bottles to something special for the big day, these are the bottles to buy for your Christmas festivities Tis the season.

And on the agenda? Treating ourselves to a few good bottles, perhaps. Because even if we don’t yet know where we’ll be for Christmas or who we’ll be spending it with, we do know that no one is going to be trying to quench the thirst of the 5,000 from the rapidly depleting contents of their kitchen fridge.
