Restaurants are always looking at ways to make their wine lists more user friendly, well the more enlightened ones anyway, especially in the absence of a well informed sommelier.

Price point is of course one of the main factors influencing our choice – however much we claim to be choosing based on as origin, tasting profile, vintage, etc.

Lunching at the Greedy Goose in the Cotswolds this weekend presented an original way of taking this element out of the choice by pricing all their wines at the same price – well almost – 12 wines, red, white and 2 roses were all offered at 15.5 pounds sterling a bottle as there ‘One Price Wonders’ the same choice was also available by the glass at 4 pounds. They also took the vintage element out of the equation by not mentioning it at all.
No Bordeaux in this section of the list sadly, the one Bordeaux was in the ‘Truly Sensational’ list at 65 pounds for Les Tourelles de Longueville!
