Wine Tasting Note: Comic Relief Red Nose Day Red , 2008, Paarl, South Africa
Stockist: Widely Available Price: £4.99 [More on Adegga / Snooth]
Think brawny, robust and sturdy but with a contradictory lightness. Think blackberry stains, fingers pricked by brambles plus a dribble of red, crunchy fruits on the finish. Drinkable, attractive, pleasing on the palate and well worth throwing a fiver at. Alcohol 14%. A Pinotage Shiraz blend.

Wine Tasting Note: Red Nose Day White , 2008, Paarl, South Africa.
Stockist: Widely available Price: £4.99 [More: Adegga / Snooth]
Prickly on the palate, fresh, clean and prim on the nose. Crisp and long lasting pear flavours, with a green tanginess to the flavour. Very good sherbet, slightly confected, finish. Quite full but with a lightness of touch via a pea-green twist on the finish. Again good value.
Alcohol 13.5%.
