Dessert wines and mince pies
Article Abstract:
A group of wine experts tasted 26 dessert wines and around half of the wines achieved respectable scores. The top wine was Seppelt Rutherglen Show Muscat at 7.93 pounds sterling from Oddbins, followed by Lindemans Coonawarra Botrytis Riesling 1996 at 5.99 pounds sterling. A range of standard and luxury style mince pies were tested to determine the best value. 11 out of 14 pies received poor marks, and the luxury pies were not rate better than standard ones. The top marks for taste were given to pies made by a home economist, using a recipe from Delia Smith's Winter Collection.
