When Wine Tastes Best 2010

Readers will recall that the authors produce an annual biodynamic sowing and planting calendar, reviewed elsewhere in this issue. In this small pocket guide and biodynamic calendar, they advise which days are optimum for drinking wine, and which days to avoid. We are told that both Tesco and Marks & Spencer now only hold tastings for wine critics on the best days according to this calendar. These are called fruit and flower days, corresponding in the guide to yellow or red. As it happens, Christmas day is one to avoid, so you will be able to judge yourself how good you thought your wine tasted.
