Who doesn’t want to be modern? I may dress in a traditional fashion (tailored jackets, overcoats and the occasional fedora), but I would hate to be thought old-fashioned, so I add colour when I can.
I do love a glass of claret with my Sunday roast, but in a wine bar I’m far more likely to order organic, no-added-sulphur zweiglet or nero d’Avola. I promise that this is not to be “down with the kids”, I just find these wines work better in social situations and for my digestion.
