Wine with Blake Creedon

Recent arrivals in Ireland will by now associate any words starting with “euro-” with high emotions, a mad media frenzy, and the vista of otherwise level-headed folk roaring at the telly.

After this week’s fractious referendum, and Jedward’s heroic performance in Baku, they think it’s all over. But of course homes around the country will be hosting parties or barbecues to coincide with our matches in the Euro 2012 soccer finals, kicking off against Croatia tomorrow week.

Being Ireland, of course, there’s every chance you’ll end up working on your cloud tan and wearing a fleece while tending the bbq.
