It’s good to be in the soup


to be very sound rea­ soning for putting all bottles under stelvin why has i t taken so long for the product to become accepted by the consumer, if it has a t all? Well, the romance of opening a bottle of wine has been removed.,,. Inserting


quality and longevity of wines under such closures. On the tech­ nical side the seal pro­ vided by the expanded polythene covered tin foil is air tight against the top of the bottle. This gives no chance of oxidation and gives the consumer confidence that the bottles con­ tents will be at opti­ mum condition. The elimination of possible ta int or malodorous flavours transferred from cork to wine is another reason stated in the favour of stelvin. Each .bottle should taste exactly as the last and there is need to store bottles in a hori­ zontal position. The cellering potential will be the same as for nat­ ural cork, around 20-25 years. With what appears


corkscrew, twisting it into the cork, pulling gently until a soft pop heralds the opening of the bottle, can never be replaced by a firm grip and twist of a bottle top - no matter how much or how little the wine costs. My vote is with nat­


the


ural cork and I accept an odd tainted bottle every now and then. Seems I may be

You can buy stock

water and bring to the boil, skimming off any froth that appears on the surface. Turn down the heat so the lentils simmer merrily, then almost cover the pot with a lid and leave until they are tender for about 30 min­


utes. Wash the spinach


thoroughly and tear a lit­ tle. While still dripping, put it into a shallow pan over a high heat and shut the lid tightly - you want i t to cook in its own steam.
