If you see an Ant & Paul wine or Kingsland on the back of a MSB then don't bother. It will be light and sweet and not worth the offer price of £5.99 let alone the £10.99 full price.

Ant Moore is a NZ winemaker who rates himself very highly on his website but makes no mention of precisely what the ' high quality and high profile ' MSB that he has supposedly worked on are and Paul Boutinot seems to distribute a lot of very lame French wine. He seems to have teamed up here with Ant Moore to import some lame Kiwi stuff too.

The Co-Op and Sainsbury are the most likely places to find these wines.

If you do like light sweet wines then please ignore this but surely Blue Nun is cheaper.....and Leebrowfrowmilch* is cheaper still.

Very informative, and public spirited Ba

When I saw this subject this morning -

Well, Goose.....Hmnn, as far as this MSB is concerned, it's easy to remember this.

Ant and Dec, Get Me Out of this Tat, springs to mind.

Thanks for the warning.

I've got Mr Glover's Zephyr MSB to try sometime. Showing my age again ! It reminds me of the big ford with the wings at the back end - Every Elvis clone's passion wagon back in the day, yeah......a long Bench seat in the back :wink:
