Steve Shaw BS: Post Brexit life in the UK (6498* d) RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK 02 Mar 18


The southern Italian reds are my favourites, Dave. Currently, apart from Morrison's Nero d'Avola (six quid unless I hit lucky) there's Peuceta Primitivo at Lidl (£4.99) and M&S Negroamaro, a little beauty, eight quid but I only buy it when it's 25% off six and I can get me daughter's staff discount. Also, Lidl sell a double-size bottle of Nero d'Avola for £7.99 that is brilliant for the money. The single-size bottles aren't as good. We've been to southern Italy and Sicily a good few times and for reds we always go for Nero d'Avola in Sicily and Negroamaro or Primitivo in Italy, especially in Puglia. I suppose brexit will put the prices up. We went through Avola on the bus the year before last. The ancient town was destroyed by an earthquake in 1693 and rebuilt close by to a regular geometric pattern. We were on our way to Noto which has fabulous architecture and the best gelateria in the world (the Caffe Sicilia). Great place, Europe, full of great people, great history and great culture. I've yet to speak to anybody there or in Andalucia, where we also go most years, who isn't totally pissed off that we're leaving. What stupidity has been visited on us. Lamentable.
