If you are looking for something with a little sparkle to celebrate this Valentine's Day but the usual suspects leave you feeling slightly flat - take a chance on a bottle of Black Label Sparkling Shiraz.

Brugal was founded in 1888 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic by D. Andres Brugal. A Spaniard, by birth, whose goal was to create only the finest Caribbean rum. He succeeded. Armed with two bottles of Brugal rum, we spent a day (and night) celebrating this fabulous addition to our drinks cabinet by making a variety of cocktails for all to enjoy.

When you're watching your weight you want something healthy and filling at lunch time to resist the temptation of eating between meals, however, portion control remains important too. For some people portion control is not easily self-managed and often food provided in calorie controlled portions is the only way they feel able to regulate what they are eating. While many will argue that for the same calories you could create something from scratch - for many there is still too much temptation to add 'extras' to the mix and then find yourself sitting down to a double-size portion laden with extra calories.
Australia Day on the 26th January is the perfect annual excuse to celebrate all that is great and good about our antipodean cousins, and a welcome chance to bring a slice of the outback sunshine to our chillier climes. This Australia Day, why not raise a g'day toast to the land 'Down Under' with a glass of something special from the cellar of Neil McGuigan, who has just been awarded the IWSC's winemaker of the year for an unprecedented third year.
