Covid-19 (coronavirus) isolation can be thirsty work, particularly now we've got more time in the evenings to enjoy to ourselvesl. If you're in warmer climes or on board your superyacht, there's no doubt you're enjoying a few sundowners in the evenings.
If, like me, you prioritised the wine shop when the outbreak began, now is a good time to consider topping it up ahead of the Easter celebrations! You don't want to find yourself left short, after all.
