A calamitous vintage. Continual rain through the summer and early autumn virtually washed out production. Many Chianti producers sold off what wine they could make in bulk. Not even Bolgheri, which often escapes the worst of the weather, survived this one.

Bordeaux 2012 is turning out to be 'better and cheaper' than 2011, according to many. Will you buy?

Yes - finally a vintage that I may be able to afford (31 vote, 32%)
No - Bordeaux left me behind years ago (27 vote, 28%)
Probably not - I'd rather buy vintages already on the market that offer better value (39 vote, 40%)
