Wine colour comes from the skins of the grapes where colour, tannins, and many other flavour compounds live.

Fashions and tastes change and over the last decade the trend has been for bigger, bolder wines that are dry i.e. with low sugar content.

What we’re getting at here, is that it is not at all as simple as high-end equals cork and cheap equals screw cap. When you are buying wine consider what you are buying it for. Is the wine you are considering a wine that you intend to keep for a few years before drinking or is it Friday and you’re looking forward to a few glasses while you watch ‘Death in Paradise’?
