Some wineries make heavy weather of packaging. Tim Atkin opts for ethical wines that won't give the planet a hangoverImagine the scene in A&E. A patient is nursing a badly sprained wrist and the duty doctor asks what happened. Various possibilities jostle in his mind. Over-enthusiastic gym visit? Domestic squabble? Fall on black ice? The patient looks embarrassed, but confesses. "Er, I did it lif

What food do you serve with Cheval Blanc 2001, and which £6 and £20ish reds would go with Christmas turkey?Q Dear Tim, A few years ago, I bought six bottles of Cheval Blanc 2001. I keep reading that 2001 wasn't a great year and that this wine is now drinking very well (and will be for a few years yet, I guess). I'm determined to enjoy the wine with my wife, rather than to profit from it. So what

Sun, soil, honest toil, and all the wine you can drink… Winemaking seems like a dream job, but is it a passport to the good life, asks Tim AtkinEver fancied making your own wine?

Posted by edwina 49 days ago (http://www.guardian.co.uk)
As the nights draw in, Tim Atkin makes a case for Grenache – the perfect companion to a winter stew and a night by the fireTS Eliot got it wrong in my view: October, not April, is the cruellest month. Once the clocks go back you know you're in for a winter of sniffles, short days and exorbitant heating bills. The only compensation – at least if you're a wine drinker – is that you can open a few f

Prosecco is seen by many as a cheap and cheerful alternative to Champagne. Tim Atkin celebrates the best budget bubbliesHelp! I fear I'm turning into a Prosecco snob. You might think this is slightly silly - like favouring one daytime soap over another - but I'm serious. There are lots of wines on the market that use the P word and the differences between them can be profound. Tasting a bog-stand

How a German eccentric changed the face of wine Down Under. Tim Atkin toasts Wolf BlassThere are so many stories about Wolf Blass that it's hard to know when fact shades into fiction. Did he really page himself at airports so that other people would hear his name? Did he once drive his Rolls-Royce into an electricity pylon, pitching a city suburb into darkness before disappearing into the bush cl
Q My parents are coming over from New Zealand for a holiday. My father only drinks Pinot Noir from Otago. Can you advise me on what to buy from Burgundy that would be comparable? Huia ForbesA The wines from Central tend to be rich, darkly coloured and pretty powerful (at least for Pinot) so you may struggle to find something French to fit his taste.
