"The average barbie with its multiple marinades, sauces and salsas is an assault course for any wine."

Over the last week or so I’ve conducted an informal poll through this site and a couple of forums I belong to, asking the guys which wine would induce them to accept a Leap Year proposal? And, fascinatingly, it isn’t necessarily a bottle of champagne . . .

After all your careful planning for tonight’s romantic dinner don’t overlook tomorrow’s breakfast!

From the window displays in the shops at the moment shops you’d think we were all clones when it comes to love and romance.But lovers come in all shapes and sizes - and ages.

It’ll most likely taste better but the ‘wow’ factor of having such an impressive bottle on the table will be the real thrill for your guests
