Wine with Leslie: Fizzy business for your August evenings with these pocket-friendly sips

The wine world is hurting, with sales down in all relevant markets (especially China, which is down to 2006 levels). Mention anything about the peer-reviewed studies which have consistently shown that alcohol in moderation can have some health benefits, and you will be pointed to the WHO Lancet piece from 2023, which declared that no level of alcohol consumption is safe. The likes of me can shout all they want about this; no politician is going to take up my cause, and reduce excise to put us in line with our EU counterparts (except maybe that fella in the cap from Kerry). I'm not sure if this is good news, but the downturn in sales means that bulk wine has never been cheaper, so supermarket wines will continue to be sold close to the government minimum price of around €8 per bottle. Will they taste good, however? Personally, I believe that minimum pricing is a tax on the poor and will have little impact on the health of the nation. For what it's worth, the economist Christopher Snowden agrees with me (his Substack is free and worth following). The gastronomic and social benefits of moderate consumption are what I should focus on, it's more solid ground. A glass of fizz or rosé on a warm August evening with a salad of ripe tomatoes with grilled haloumi, aubergines and free-range pork from the barbecue has to be beneficial to health and well-being... With this in mind all of the wines recommended today represent value and will at least keep your bank account healthy. Breath of Paradise, Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024 €11.99 Breath of Paradise, Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024 €11.99 Lidl Look familiar? It is of course a nod to Whispering Angel (€26). Tasting the two together, the WA is a little fuller on the palate and a little finer, but Breath of P. is a similar creature with soft raspberry fruits and more citrus acidity on the finish (no bad thing). Also in Lidl is the candy and berry scented Quarzose rosé for just €9. Faustino Rivero Ulecia Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain €16 Faustino Rivero Ulecia Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain €16 Tesco I don't mention Tesco all that often, so I am happy to recommend this Alabriño from Rias Baixas, a small region in northwestern Spain which has nonetheless become one of Ireland's most popular wines. The price of albariño grapes has shot-up due to demand recently, so this is good value. Pleasingly aromatic with floral peach and pear aromas, a textured palate and balancing citrus freshness Albert de Conti Pet-Nat, Bergerac, France Albert de Conti Pet-Nat, Bergerac, France - €18.50 - €22 JJ O'Driscolls; L'Atitude 51; Bradleys; Green Man Wines; Mitchells; Le Caveau This excellent pet-nat is on offer in JJ O'Driscolls this month at a bargain price. Organic, biodynamic and part of the new wave of young natural/organic producers revitalising the industry. Floral lemon aromas, leesy and creamy pear fruits on the palate with crisp citrus acidity on the finish. Joyous.

Food Safety Authority of Ireland enforced closures of several businesses this summer

A Dublin branch of German supermarket giant Lidl and a popular tourist hotel in Tralee, County Kerry are just two of the businesses that were forced to close their doors under orders issued by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in July. Ten closure orders in total were handed out by the FSAI last month, including the Lidl store on the Sallynoggin Road in Glenageary, Dublin, where the entire premises was ordered to close after rodent droppings were found in multiple locations across the shop floor and the store room. The report also detailed what was described as 'extensive food debris' on the floor of the store room, and 'large amounts of foodstuffs' in areas where rodent droppings were visible on the floors. Photo: Sam Boal/ A live mouse was even observed scampering across the floor in the store room by two environmental health officials, inspecting the store. The order on the store, issued on July 29th, was lifted on August 1st and the HSE conducted a review and approved the store for reopening. In response to the order, a spokesperson for Lidl said 'providing a clean, safe and enjoyable shopping experience for all of our customers is of the utmost importance to us' and the retail giant takes food safety issues 'extremely seriously'. A live mouse was even observed scampering across the floor in the store room by two environmental health officials, inspecting the store. Pic: Shutterstock Lidl has stated that it has since fully collaborated with the HSE and taken necessary steps, including hiring a professional pest control service, conducting a deep clean and full sanitation of the store, and pest-proofing the premises to prevent future issues. Lidl has also reasssured customers that a full internal review of processes has been carried out to ensure cleanliness and food safety at the store. 'We understand and apologise for the concern this has caused and would like to assure our customers that the issue was addressed fully and efficiently', Lidl said.

The Brandon Hotel suffered what's been described as a 'significant cockroach infestation' in a number of areas of the hotel, including dead roaches in the main kitchen, under fridges, and on the floors of the wash-up area and even the staff canteen. Live cockroaches were even seen in the hotel's restaurant. The closure order was lifted on July 25th. Pic: Getty Images Meanwhile, even theme parks do not escape the scourge of the pests, with a storage unit at the rear of a coffee dock in Emerald Park in Ashbourne, Co Meath closed for a time on July 14th after rat droppings were found in the unit. Environmental inspectors found rodent droppings in an area used for storing food and items like cups, lids, straws, food containers and trays and their report noted that the unit was not pest-proof, with holes in the walls. A number of other businesses hit with closure orders over the past number of weeks include a Londis store on Connaught Street in Athboy, County Meath, Creeds foodstore in Cahir, County Tipperary, and KRS Catering Stall in Clonmel, County Tipperary. Tim Nessa on John's Street in Limerick was served a closure order, as was the Costa Coffee on Dublin's Dawson Street. Wakami Sushi and Asian and Hidden Dojo Asian Streetfood, both based on Phibsborough Road in Dublin, were also forced to close. Pic: Shutterstock The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said that recent incidents involving foodstuffs serve as a stark reminder of the need for businesses handling food to maintain the highest standards of food safety, and that customers are entitled to expect that the food they purchase is safe. The report from the FSAI went on to say that 'Every food business must take its responsibility to comply with food safety law seriously. The FSAI can provide support and advice to food businesses to help them meet their obligations.' 'However, as demonstrated by the enforcement actions this month, where food businesses do not comply with their obligations, we will take action.'

Rodent droppings at Emerald Park and a south Dublin Lidl both led to food closure orders in July

TWELVE FOOD BUSINESSES were served closure orders by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland in July, including Lidl and a coffee dock storage unit in Emerald Park, which were both closed due to the presence of rodent droppings. A mouse ran in front of two environmental health officers while they were inspecting the store room of Lidl on Sallynoggin Road, Co Dublin on 29 July. Some of the reasons for the closure orders of other businesses include the presence of dead cockroaches and beetles, lack of handwashing and not wearing clean protective clothing during food preparation. The closure orders were issued by environmental health officers in the HSE and by officers of the FSAI. Five closure orders were served under the FSAI Act 1998 on: Lidl Sallynoggin Road, Glenageary, Co. Dublin. Creed's Foodstore Burncourt Cahir, Co. Tipperary Brandon Hotel (Closed areas: All kitchen areas including dry goods store, wash up areas, staff canteen, restaurant and stills area.) Prince's Street, Tralee, Co. Kerry Emerald Park (Closed area: The storage unit located to the rear of 'coffee dock' in Emerald Park) Kilbrew Ashbourne, Co. Meath. Six Closure Orders were served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on: Londis Athboy (Closed areas: the deli/food preparation area and ice cream service area) Connaught Street, Athboy, Co. Meath KRS Catering Stall (Closed activity: the service of all foods prepared off-site and transported to the venue. Closure does not apply to the sale/service of beverages and foods prepared on-site) Powerstown Park Racecourse, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary Tim Nessa 2A John's Street, Co. Limerick Hidden Dojo Asian Street food, 47A Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7. Wakami Sushi & Asian, 47A Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7. Costa Coffee, 1 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 One Prohibition Order was served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on: Ballymaguire Foods Unlimited Company, Rathmooney, Lusk, Co. Dublin. One Prohibition Order was served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on: Timothy Onwuegbusi, 2A John's Street, Limerick and Emeka Ikebudu, 2A John's Street, Limerick. During the inspection of Lidl on Sallynoggin Road, inspectors said a 'grave and immediate danger' to food safety was found in the premises, due to the presence of rodent droppings and food debris in multiple locations, including on the shop floor and in the store room where food was kept. Advertisement The closure order was lifted on 1 August. A storage unit in Emerald Park was also closed after rat droppings were found in the unit on 7 July, which also stored food, reusable cups, straws and lids. Inspectors noted the unit was not pest proof as it had holes in the walls. The closure order was lifted on 15 July. Costa Coffee on Dawson Street, Co Dublin, was served a closure order due to the presence of rat droppings in the dishwasher room, food store, and customer entrance, on 2 July, which was lifted on 4 July. Dead cockroaches were found by inspectors on 23 July in a main kitchen under work surfaces and under cooking equipment in Brandon Hotel, Co Kerry. The order was lifted on 25 July. During an inspection of Wakami Sushi and Asian on 7 July, in Phibsborough, Co Dublin, inspectors noted that the food business did not provide adequate means for staff to wash hands in the kitchen, with one sink not having soap or a towel. They noted infrequent handwashing in the kitchen and said owners and staff were not wearing clean protective clothing during food preparation. FSAI chief Greg Dempsey, said 'recent foodborne incidents serve as a stark reminder of the need for food businesses to maintain the highest food safety standards.' 'Consumers are entitled to expect that the food they purchase is safe, and food businesses have a clear legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it is. The Enforcement Orders issued this month reflect serious, preventable breaches of food safety law,' he said. 'Every food business must take its responsibility to comply with food safety law seriously. The FSAI can provide support and advice to food businesses to help them meet their obligations. However, as demonstrated by the enforcement actions this month, where food businesses do not comply with their obligations, we will take action.'
