    I find this hard to believe. most restaurants have there own direct suppliers meaning that most wine served in restaurants you will not find in the shops. it is possible that the wine served could be a reserved grand cru version off a similar brand of wine.

    It’s all part of running a business and making a profit I’m afraid! You could have stayed at home, cooked your own dinner, used your own electricity, and served your own €11.99 bottle of wine to yourself. Instead, you chose to pay for the privilege of having somebody else do all that for you! Fair game!

    That tells more about Tesco selling alcohol at cost than it does about the restaurant.

    What was the wine ??

    Don’t bottles usually contain pieces of glass? Particularly if they’re glass bottles.

    Bernadette, that’s right, they do! However, the general idea is that all the bits of glass stay together in the shape of a bottle and they keep the wine nice and safe and warm and dry. If it’s white. Ok?

    From someone who brews there own beer, take it from me it really really easy not to put glass in an alcoholic drink when you make it.
