COMFORT RED in the TIME OF COVID

Or they have been reliable companions for decades. When I first thought what would be my pick, I had to pause as I immediately though of richness ““ not my favourite characteristic. After a quick mental flick through my repertoire of reds I did spot a candidate ““ Cotes du Rhone. Richness beautifully disguised as charm.

May I suggest a second bottle at the ready ““ comfort works best in large doses. Lightly chill this wine, of course.
