  • Written by Jody Liddle, Jimmy Brings Category Manager

Don’t be the one to slam a box of cask wine on the dinner table when a few (new) friends gather, because rumour has it, first impressions last. Sharing a meal is one powerful way to connect, making others feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but it’s the wine selection - and a considered one at that - that will take your night to another level.
