Banbury wine merchant SH Jones’s South African Variety Show tasting next Thursday, 17 May looks unmissable.

I’m told there will be special offers, including a limited number of subsidised ‘Discover the diversity’ mixed cases during May on a first come first served basis.
The ticket price (subbed by Wines of South Africa) is a very bargainful £5 per person. The event runs from 7.00pm to 9.30pm.
