Wine with Leslie: Last-minute gifts for the wine buff

"If you are braving Cork City today, drop into Bubble Brothers in the English Market, WineBuff or O’Donovan’s on Oliver Plunkett St, Quay Co-Op on Sullivans Quay, or Bradleys on North Main St."

Don’t fret, you still have two days and remember that your local wine merchant is perfect for last-minute gifts.

You can stay local and avoid the mayhem of town by visiting the likes of JJ O’Driscolls in Ballinlough, Mannings in Ballylickey, Matsons in Bandon, Mitchells in Glasthule, or Whelehans in Loughlinstown. I promise that shops like these are so much calmer than the stress-inducing shopping centre.
