Wine with Leslie: Welcome to the new wine cellar on MacCurtain Street in Cork

Plus a lively, zingy wine that must be the cheapest bottle in the country right now

Newly opened: MacCurtain Wine Cellar on Cork's MacCurtain Street

I have a small bit of good news to offer to wine buffs and occasional drinkers; people looking for gifts for others or treats for themselves; and supporters of local businesses: Cork has a new wine shop.

Before I get to that though, Aldi has some interesting new wines in store and quality for such low prices is better than expected. Besides the wines selected here, you could also try their Picpoule de Pinet at €8.99 and two wines from Vinho Verde in Northern Portugal — an Alvarinho and an Arinto (€10 and €9).
