Take a look at the grapes and wines calendar we've compiled for you to help you explore new wines.
It happens to the best of us, we’ve all gotten ourselves stuck in a bit of a rut when it comes to choosing wines. We end up picking something tried and tested, familiar and comforting like a pair of worn shoes rather than being a bit adventurous and trying something new.
If you would like a bit of a push to try new wines, take a look at the grapes and wines calendar* we have compiled for you and use this to guide some of your next wine choices. On its calendar day, why not try something new? Pour a Pinotage on 12 October, make it Malbec on 17 April.
You never know, you might find a new favourite!
