New year’s resolutions about wine are the same for you and me. The Glug side will make and discover interesting wines and sell these at reasonable prices while you will enjoy your drinking by not joining the madness of preposterous prices. The Monday letter will provide refresher courses about which parts of the wine lore are made up.

I hate waste as we retailers make money by collecting drips in a bucket. So, overspending on wine upsets me. I still approach shoppers in any wine store, ‘Pardon me but consider this over here as its better and half the price’.
