That’s actually reasonably-priced. Their non-vintage is about £25 a bottle, vintage is £42.50. I quite like a drop of Port!
Best wishes, Pete.

I used to like ‘sightseeing’ in that shop. I once made the mistake of buying a small loaf of uncut bread there, and it cost almost £2.50, and that was probably in 2004. It came in a rather luxurious carrier bag though. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
