Take a video tour of EuropeÂ’s Wine regions

10:21 27 October 2009

Have you tried anything different recently?

Going abroad is when many people take the opportunity to try new gourmet food - sampling a fresh drop of red or a new type of cured ham, so itÂ’s no wonder if you havenÂ’t taken a trip this year you may be feeling like you are missing out on the experience.

Whether you stayed at home or travelled and have the post holiday blues, worry not as some of the very best quality produce is available in the UK and readily at your fingertips – it just takes a bit of digging.

In this video, wine expert Joe Wadsack gives you tips on making the most out of Port (and not just for Christmas), the wines of the Burgundy region in France and the Douro Valley in Portugal.

HeÂ’ll also give advice to ensure youÂ’re trying true top-quality European foods that have the PDO official stamp.

Watch Joe’s video to find out how to have your own “Pinot Noir Epiphany” and the best way to serve and eat hors d'oeuvres like Parma ham and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

You'll be a connoisseur of fine taste in no time...
