Congratulations 18 years old, twice as long as I have been a member. CHEERS!

I hope everything and everyone is OK down under, you have plenty of vinyards to keep you supplied with supplies.
I found a wine in a suppermarket with my surname Houghton on the label. On investigation I found the vinyard was 30 miles north of Perth and that thier very first wine blender was called John Mann the same name as my maternal grandfather, what a coincidence!

Did you buy a bottle Frank? I used to brew wine as recently as 2 years ago. And before that beer. Diabetes put a stop to that.

The answer is yes just a few, both Morrisons and Tesco sold it but then it disappeared. I did find it in some fancy wine distributers down south but you had to buy 12 bottles plus delivery.

There's an article here Frank says a local syndicate bought out the company in November last year.
