THE PENNY (1,20 Eurocents, down from a high of 1,50 Eurocents) DROPS

Do you remember years ago whenever you were short of money, the cheapest (drinkable) wines you you could buy were Yugoslav Rieslings, the slightly better qualities of which came from Lutomer - wherever that was? Now I've tumbled to why there seem to be some gratifyingly cheap wines on the local supermarket shelves. Those "Yugoslav" wines all came from Slovenia! Obviously we need to fill our boots, while we are still here. Dammit!

(It could have been worse. We might have been in Exeter, drinking Rougement Castle, a British Wine blended from industrial alcohol, agricultural slurry and artificial flavourings, sweeteners and preservatives.)
