A food and cider pairing? You don’t need a fat wallet to find a certain 'joie de cidre'

The phrase "wine and food pairing" makes me think of well-upholstered Tory MPs at The Junior Carlton Club ordering "another bottle of that most excellent vino, Rupert". It is a narcolepsy-inducer with the strength of temazepam. Unless you're eating a tasting menu which is longer than the Dead Sea scrolls, it is a red flashing light with a siren screaming BORING! And possibly then EXPENSIVE! And there is a simple reason: no chef wants his much-loved food going about with some cheap, shallow Chilean. They want only the best for their rabbit tartare – they want, in the words of Withnail, "the finest wines available to humanity".
