W(h)ine

I'm so easily provoked. I thought this was about Old Europe striking back:
New World's big brands 'taste no better than many cheaper wines'
But it turns out it's just about getting out of your rut:
Susy Atkins, the report's editor, urged big-brand devotees to change their habits. "People need to get out of a rut if they are not feeling inspired and taste something different...."

For wines costing between £5-£7 Ms Atkins recommended labels from Chile, South Africa, Languedoc in the south of France and southern Italy. Many of these countries and regions had made "enormous progress" in the past 15 years and their warm climates produced "reliable, ripe, fruity and modern" flavours she said.
