Why Fairtrade wine could be better

Why Fairtrade wine could be better

Posted on March 9 2014 at 11:28

As those of you who read my Guardian column will know I had a big rant about the quality of Fairtrade wine at the beginning of Fairtrade Fortnight. Now on the last day it seems like a good opportunity to explore how it might be improved

Day 2 of my road trip en route to Scotland and so good to get out of the car and walk by the sea. Love Northumberland. . . . #sea #beach #coast #northumberland #beadnell #roadtrip #summerdaysPerfectly ripe blood peaches from @hugosgreengrocer, the best thing bar none to take a friend when you go round for supper (especially when you know they don’t do dessert😉) Thanks @annahicks30. . . . #fruit #peach #bloodpeach #bristolNot a destination restaurant from a food point of view but the new @linastores on Wigmore street is a really useful pit stop if you’re shopping in Oxford Street or wanting to meet a friend in central London. (It’s just behind John Lewis and along the road from the Wigmore Hall). Particularly liked these fried artichokes with aioli and pangrattato and sea bream crudo but the pastas were strangely disappointing for an established Italian restaurant. Treat it as a wine bar and go for a couple of starters. . . . #artichokes #crudo #pasta #italianfood #londonrestaurants #marylebone #linastores #guestSo many incredibly good things to eat at @robin.gill.cook’s new wine bar @bottleandrye last night - No great surprise as I’ve always loved his restaurants. Cantabrian anchovies on butter-soaked ciabatta toast, smoked eel brandade with pink fir crisps, pumpkin seed pesto and courgette tart and a tomato salad with Ragstone and Kalamata olives - all with some lovely natural wines. (There was a particularly cool pet nat rosé called Uivo). Already busy and bustling, it’s all you want from a wine bar. #guest but will definitely be back. . . . #anchovies #brandade #courgette #winebar #londonrestaurant #newopening #bottleandrye #brixton Follow on Instagram
