Spent a lot of time chortling about Coren’s deep dislike of natural wines. I’ve had the experience about 3 times now — excellent restaurants serving execrable-yet-somehow-expensive wines in the interests of ideology — and it has upset me each time.

And when I meet people who claim to LIKE natural wines (“they don’t give me a hangover”) as I often do in West London, I struggle not to mentally dismiss all their other views. Although, more often than not, these views turn out to include “the wonders of micro-dosing” and “the horrors of vaccination”.
