		<title>Two&#8217;s Company, Three&#8217;s a PARTY!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two three-packs of wine which made their way to my door in the run-up to Christmas have definitely convinced me of this! I took some of them away with me and some of them were enjoyed in the general party-party atmosphere of pre-Christmas euphoria.

		<title>Perfect Pairs!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first joined the wine trade, my boss told me that the best thing about being a ‘wine fundi’ (not that he used that word, coming from deepest, darkest Suffolk) is that you can go to other people’s dinner parties and take the cheapest wine around and people think it must be good, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Suck at Sabrage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;The one that worked. &#160; I knew I celebrated too soon. My mission was to really work hard to crack the art of sabrage before Christmas. I wanted to first get comfy doing it with a big knife, then a teaspoon and finally &#8211; the pi&#232;ce de r&#233;sistance &#8211; the base of a champagne flute. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I hate supermarket shopping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you out there reading this, but I am not particularly well-off. Petrol prices, electricity prices and general inflation are all streaking way ahead of any salary increases coming my way.
