Refreshment is important, and this is what glou-glou wines are all about. Stave off any late winter blues with this juice-laden sextet. Don't expect structure and tannin, but do expect high toned red fruits (Balthazar), bramble (Freiheit Red) and sour cherry (Dosset). If you find a better way to spend £95 on wine, let us know and we will happily devour our headwear.
