Writing over at ‘Good Wine Under $20′, Dr Debs, has posted an interesting piece on visiting the wine aisles of Waitrose. Comparisons with supermarkets in America abound – particularly interesting is her take on the proliferation of scewcaps –
The other thing I was struck by was the preponderance of screwcaps–they were on practically everything, including wines from Burgundy
The wide geographical spread also impressed, something we here in the UK are so accustomed to we take it for granted. Waitrose of course offers on of the best ranges of the supermarkets but I urge Dr. Debs to venture further across London to discover the multitude of independents and the fine ranges they stock – I think she will be more impressed with the quality of wines, the breadth of range and the level of service we here in the UK have available.
