What I like about it is that you’re actually providing a bit of a lifeline to these struggling farmers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to sell their wine … it’s a bit like adopting a penguin or an African child, I suppose, except you don’t get letters telling you how grateful they are, you get wine, which is much better … well technically, yes, you do have to pay for it, but not very much actually, once you factor in that £75 voucher that fell out of Homes & Gardens … I mean it must work out at pennies per bottle so you’d be crazy not to sign up … I do pay a bit more actually, I think for some sort of welfare fund … they call you a saint or a god or suchlike if you do that, which in my case is very far from the truth as you know, ha ha … no, actually I’m not sure I did get an email from you about your wine club … I’ll take a look … though obviously I can see you’re doing very well indeed without my god-like patronage, unlike those poor blighters in the Languedoc …

Can you unscramble these southern French appellations? If so, you get to devise a comical new wine duty system
