A classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, this red, red wine is an archetypal claret – a lovely rich colour with plenty of warm blackberry flavours and a long finish. Very drinkable. It takes a while to open out, so either decant it or open the bottle an hour before you want to drink it and use up the time by dancing round the room to Ali, Astro and Mickey’s top hits.
Red Red Wine is the product of a get-together between UB40 and Eminent Life, who have created a special wine to celebrate the band’s forthcoming GrandSlam UK tour and new album Unplugged. The wine, available from eminent-life.com, retails at £28.50 and we have one bottle (signed by the band) to give away, along with a copy of their album. Enter online or send your details to Red Red Wine Competition (see address on Contents) by April 30. T&Cs apply.
