Top 30 Wines

Chris's picks are in teal. We added a lovely fruit driven Chenin Blanc into some of our tastings. The results have been impressive. Backsberg Chenin Blanc from South Africa has shot into the top 10. Another wine that has been rating well at tastings is Fleury Vintage Champagne. The 1996 recently won two trophies at the International Wine Challenge 2007 - Best Young Vintage Champagne and Best Biodynamic Wine.

The ThirtyFifty Top30 is based on all ratings for the vintage. Wine must have at least 30 ratings before they appear in the list. Wines under £10 are highlighted in bold. While an average ranking system is good, some wines can be great but only a few people enjoy them. If you would like us to help you select any wines specific to your tastes please give your Wine Consultant a call or call Chris direct.

Wine Tips
Managing Hangovers
Hangovers are a result of toxic chemicals found in alcohol called congeners. Congeners are natural by-products of the fermentation process and there are more in red wine than white. The higher the congener content the greater the hangover. Gin and vodka have the fewest while bourbon, brandy & red wine contain the most. Champagne & sparkling wines have more than still white wines. Also consider the alcohol content of wine. This can vary from 9% to 15.5% - a whopping difference. White wines tend to be lower in alcohol than red wines but in both there is still a spectrum to be found. So it can be deceptive when drinking wine - not all bottles are made equal. Best policy to avoid hangover...enjoy wine in moderation, with food and with plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
