A Cool Red

Lightly chilled Beaujolais is the perfect summer red – its lighthearted, fresh, fruity flavour makes it fun to drink. Our wine writers – Billy Munnelly and Kato Wake – tipped us off to this one. Mommessin’s new aluminum bottle sports a ‘cooldot’ – letting you know when it’s chilled enough to drink. Pop it in the fridge, wait for the signal, then sip away. How cool is that? It’s in stores now, along with their ‘cooldot’ Chardonnay.
