    If you're not a wine buff and don't really care then Laithwaites would be fine, as Zippy says try the bin end cases.

    A tasting course isn't really going to give you enough experience or knowledge. Try signing up for a WSET course

    Or find yourself a good wine merchant and benefit from their experience and suggestions, I'd suggest these guys in Olney, not too far from you.
    WNS. It's only for certain types of people. Let the pikeys that Norrahe has aluded to, scrape the bin ends.
