No-one likes to be accused of prejudice. Your defensive hackles would doubtless rise if someone raised the charge to active discrimination.

Yet when thoughts turn to buying or opening a really special bottle, to impressing a client, to lingering over a mature cellar treat, so often it’s a red that makes the final cut.
