My €4.50 plastic-bottle wine shame

Wine writer Andy Neather has confessed to enjoying a €4.50 plastic-bottle white from Lefkada whilst on holiday in Greece, challenging the stereotype that industry professionals only drink premium bottles. His piece highlights how even scruffy Greek island mini-marts stock high-end local producers like Biblia Chora and Gerovassiliou, though most holidaymakers happily drink house whites and rosés at around €7 per litre carafe in tavernas. It's a frank look at how context and location reshape wine choices, even for those who normally critique supermarket plonk.
