MIKE TIPPING picks some pefectly gluggable bottles that won’t break the bank.

Chefs at The Polash, in the Essex seaside resort, cooked up the ‘treat’ to mark the Bangladeshi curry house’s 30th birthday.

But it’s hard trying to think of a fresh idea for every week of the year and it is a good excuse to write about some reasonably priced vino.

Even more strangely, it is not wine at all. The liquid in question is Pixley Berries Blackcurrant Cordial, which is useful to have in the fridge over the warmer months: one, because it tastes nice and two, because you can use it to make DIY rosé.

I was at the Monsters of Rock festival, in 1980-something, held at Donington Park.

The acronym refers to the practice of taking your own bottle of wine to a restaurant. “BYO is a way of life in Australia and parts of America but it is slow to catch on over here,” says David Brooks, general manager at The Dean Court Hotel in York.

Price is the priority, anything over £3 is off the radar, but the alcoholic strength is a deciding factor also. Sat, 25 Apr 2009 09:56:56 +0100 5d06915d5fa1e57497d94856bd7ca4ef
