New World versus Old World in first of Friday night showdowns

Hotel Du Vin enjoyed another of its legendary Friday night wine dinners. Co-hosted with master sommelier Nigel Wilkinson, guests enjoyed an excellent meal with a selection of fine wines as they attempted to answer the question that divides wine lovers and experts alike ¬– which is better, New World or Old World wine? Hotel general manager Tony Elvin said: “It was a wonderful evening and sets us up nicely another season of wine dinners.”
