in Gone off!
This evening i am quaffing a bottle of finest sauvignon blanc apparently as per the label from Marlborough, New Zealand. The bottle of wine is called Tohunga.
Now i am no wine connoisseur or wine snob. You won't find me spouting all that Jilly Goulden BS.
I tend to drink wines of Spain ,south america Italy and maybe the odd bottle of French or Greek.
I tend to prefer Reds.
Anyway on the back of the bottle of tohunga it said it was bottled in Irlam.
Apparently lots of the big supermarkets get wines from this plant which simply ships no name grape varieties mostly from the new world, in mutli litre bulk shipping containers then bottle it.
I have no issue with this save for..
1) that it is slightly disingenuous to perhaps mislead people with the front label then tell the truth on the back label
2) I do wonder how the wine fares on what could be an eight week trip on a large shipping container freighter,then being exposed to being bottled in Irlam !

Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
