Wine: A nostalgic theme

I have a nostalgic theme this week as I was reminded at recent tastings by how much our tastes have changed since I first became interested in wine.

In 1990 you would have had difficulty finding wines from outside Europe on the average off-licence shelf.

Wine sales were dominated by big brands, most of which are completely unknown to drinkers under 30, such as Pedrotti and Piat d’Or.
