Now, let it be known that I like red wine. I may have mentioned it once or twice before? I don't however consider myself to be wine expert/bore, just someone who has a real love of the stuff and likes to find out as much as possible about what I'm drinking, and maybe even advise others if asked. I won't however lecture people on what wine should be drunk with what food type. So this category is perfect for me.

Kumala Zenith Vintage 2003 -------------------------------- I’m sat in my lounge with my husband, sharing a bottle of Kumala Zenith Red Wine. I’ve just poured the last two glasses and felt rather disappointed that there is none left. This is because it tastes lovely. Yes, that’s the truth, so stop saying “It’s really because you are an alcoholic!” We bought two bottles of this wine at TESCO for £3.99 each.
