Lovely drink
In a couple of weeks we'll be carrying a guide to the sort of treats people might enjoy on Valentine's Day.
My contribution has been to compile a list of drinks suited to such a romantic occasion.
Champagne is in the list, of course. And Chablis to neck back with oysters. Plus Sauternes to sup with strawberries.
Then there's an Italian beer on the grounds that Italian men are known for their love-making prowess so a bottle or two or their favourite brew might help us under-achieving Brits.
I guess the trick, though, is to avoid drinking too much of anything if you don't want to end the night asleep, snoring and lonely on the sofa.
Avoid, too, two of the foods heralded as "romantic" in an emailed news release that a colleague received today....Brussel sprouts and onions!
They might blow your lover away....but not in a good way.
