Bitter taste

Ann Thorp’s letter (The Tablet) 26 February made me realise once more how diverse Tablet readers must be. N. O’Phile’s “From the Vineyard” column provides advertising for all the major supermarket chains, including discounters whose business ethics have been questioned more than once. Second, I wonder how priests and other readers react in societies where the quandary of whether to buy wine in bottles, for example a warm Chilean red at £14.95, or in the two-and-a half- or three-litre boxes “for everyday drinking”, with “the concomitant danger of losing count of glasses”, is not such a problem.
