    It's not quite that radical Andre - normal Catholics and C of E observe Lent. Not me, I'm lapsed, I'm afraid.

    Tesco have this on offer at the moment; half price at £4.99 a bottle:



    Castello San Lorenzo Rioja Reserva 2004.

    Tempranillo, mazuelo and graciana grapes.
    "Richly flavoured and spicy, combining ripe plum and dried fruit characters with cinnamon and vanilla".

    If you feel the 2004 is too young, buy a few bottles and lay them down (if only for a fortnight Marco ). Or buy the 2001 at £14.99, also available in Tesco.

    A votre santé
