Wine with Leslie: Would you drink a box of wine? I did, and it was fantastic

Did you drink better wine over the lockdowns? I know I did and most off-licences noticed a higher spend per bottle as did supermarkets. It will be interesting to see if this means we are more or less willing to up our wine spend in restaurants.

My hope is that restaurants will also see an uptick in fine wine sales and if you can afford it please do buy that better bottle if you can afford it - you will enjoy your meal more and restaurants could do with the extra few quid. Remember that a lot of the profits in restaurants is generated by drink rather than food sales.
