Wine Society own brands
Sunday, June 5th, 2011At two separate Wine Society events recently, one wine has stood head and shoulders above the rest for me, and I have been looking for an opportunity to shout it out.
However, it raises a wider issue about wine branding. When it comes to certain wines (mostly French if I am honest) I like to think that I should be able to choose the original wine over one badged by a retailer. So am I being immodest to think that I can do better than an institution that has been around since 1874? Am I <gasps> a “wine snob”?  And worse, an ill-informed one to boot?
