We're very new at having decent beer, in limited amounts, on the shelves of mainstream supermarkets -- where decent wine was a novelty not that long ago. This sort of media campaign comes some way after.

For any Twitterers, the plan is to watch Saturday Kitchen this week and suggest beer recommendations for the food on the #saturdaykitchen hashtag.[/quote:3li3ufj2]

The St Georges day episode was one of there real low point, they tried to match a French wine with a pork pie!

But that's why I said "cheap and plenty"

Maybe I should've been more clear that by "cheap and plenty" I didn't necessarily mean that it was of a good quality.

I'm just worried that beer ends up going full circle back to where we are at the moment "cheap and plenty"

Mind you, I'd rather have any amount of French-wine-promotion over Wells & Young's attempt to co-opt St George's Day as their corporate property, Diageo-style.[/quote:h0s6f4xl]
