January-Veganuary

A January-Veganuary wine from the Co-op

January is not the cheeriest of months, so you can respond in one of two ways - a complete detox, including, should you choose, the forsaking not just of meat but all animal products.

Or you can cheer yourself up with some something indulgent, like a ripe and warming southern-hemisphere wine.

With this Truly Irrestistible Malbec, The Co-op enables you to do both at once.

The Co-operative Truly Irresistible Bio Bio Malbec 2015 (£6.99) big, bold spicy yet classy Chilean red - screwcapped and drinking beautifully. Made from Argentina's signature Malbec, it is dark purple; dark fruits, complex oaky spice and cigar box; ripe elderberries, bramble fruit and black cherries with roasted spices, freshness and supple tannins.

Poised, balanced and adept.

Good.

Match with roasted spiced aubergine - or at other times of the year, a juicy steak.
