The Story of Football's Wonder Kid Wayne Rooney by Harry Harris and Danny Fullbrook, priced at £9.99, pub­ lished by Robson Books.


WONDERKID Wayne Rooney was only 17 years and 111 days


. when he became the youngest player to star in the England line-up. Now he is regarded as an old timer and this book pays tribute


While this is a natural acid in grapes it is not common prac­ tice to acidify in France, indeed it is not allowed for any Appellation Controlee wines, but is common prac­ tice in warm countries like South Africa for most white wines grown in warm/hot areas. The governing body for the French wine trade, the INAO, has given a universal green light for this process. So while this is to make a bal­ anced wine, in the sense of acidity and fruit in harmony, some areas like the right bank in Bordeaux have another problem, the resulting juice will be hard to ferment.
