The dark nights, the miserable weather and the excuse to have a tipple here and there. You can stick your G&T summers. Log fires, lamb shanks and lots of fun. What can make this even better? A red wine accompaniment. Awh stop you guys (seriously carry on) https://t.co/1E9An1JNiZ But as I'm sure you're all aware, red wine doesn't come cheap, especially when you're stocking up for a period such as Christmas, so which supermarket should you head to? According to finedininglovers.com , these are the most popular red wines in the world: Malbec is by far my favourite red wine and my go-to when browsing in supermarkets. That said, I did have an incredible experience in Scotland that made me question this choice. During a trip to Loch Lomond I was treated to a bottle of Barolo in a restaurant (I won't say how much) and it defied all expectations. Needing to be on my best behaviour, I drank it slow and sensibly and it was a heavenly experience . Although I've since seen bottles of Barolo being sold in Tesco, you're talking around £25/£30 for a bottle. So that experience will likely remain a one-off, for now. However, can you get a decent bottle of red for a fraction of the price? Well being the martyr that I am, I went and found that out for you last Christmas. I went to Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Asda and my nearest Co-Op to see if any of the big names could offer up a decent bottle for a good price. I've always wanted to go to a wine tasting in southern France or some similarly fancy vineyard, so instead of diving into the wine straight away, I had someone mix the bottles up and pour. Instead of a lounger in Napa Valley, I was in a kitchen in North Wales, work with what you're given. With five goblets of goodness in front of me, I conducted my first-ever blind wine tasting. Could I pick out my favourite? The Malbec? (In order right to left) Co-Op, Asda, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi red wines (Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) At the time of writing, it was the cheapest bottle of red I could find at the time in Tesco and it was actually £5.75, but £5 with a Clubcard. I was surprised as I swear Tesco sell cheaper wines. If you don't have a Clubcard, this is the most expensive 'cheap' red wine that you can get in the supermarket. It was the first wine I tasted and things got off to an okay start. Despite not having a tonne of flavour, watery if anything, it will do when all else has run dry and you're too drunk to care. Better yet, use/save some for cooking. 6/10 Another Merlot, this time from Tesco's main rival, Asda. However, this one didn't have a flat bottom. Similar to their closest competitor this wine was light-bodied, plain and not that exciting but for £4.95 you can't expect the world. It was good value that's for sure. Again if you leave this bottle till last, you won't be too fussed. 6/10 Avoid at all costs. My initial notes were "This tastes like ****", but it was actually a hell of a lot worse than that. I'm not sure what process they used to make this 'South African Red', however, I assume they used a can of Special Brew as an ashtray and then left it in the sun for a week. I think that was the flavour they were going for and by god they achieved it. Foul. 0/10. It's a hard life, isn't it? (Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) This offering from Lidl was the first wine (let's forget Co-Op) to provide me with some decent fruity flavour. Not overpowering but it had a nice rich taste to it. For £4.88 (at the time of writing) this is a steal and will go well with any beef dish. On the palate, it felt smooth. 7/10 Did I call it? Absolutely I did. The best wine by far that you can sense from the very first taste. It was rich, velvety and felt full-bodied to me which is how I like them. Forget saving it till last, I challenge anyone to say this isn't a decent wine that doesn't belong on the dinner table. Aldi have done themselves proud here by selling the cheapest and best wine. Looking for decent cheap wine? It's simple, head to the cheapest supermarkets. Also, drink responsibly. 8/10Solar Alliance Shareholders Approve All Resolutions At Annual General Meeting

The investigation into and search for the masked gunman who stalked and killed the head of UnitedHealthcare has moved into its third day. Possible leads have emerged about his travel before the shooting and a message scrawled on ammunition found at the crime scene. Here's the latest: In many companies, investor meetings like the one UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was walking to when he was fatally shot are viewed as very risky because details on the location and who will be speaking are highly publicized. “It gives people an opportunity to arrive well in advance and take a look at the room, take a look at how people would probably come and go out of a location,” said Dave Komendat, president of DSKomendat Risk Management Services, which is based in the greater Seattle area. Some firms respond by beefing up security. For example, tech companies routinely require everyone attending a major event, such as Apple’s annual unveiling of the next iPhone or a shareholder meeting, to go through airport-style security checkpoints before entering. Others forgo in-person meetings with shareholders. ▶ Read more about how companies protect their leaders Those images include New York’s subway system, a law enforcement official said. In establishments where the person was captured on camera, he always appeared to pay with cash, the official said. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. — Mike Balsamo Medica, a Minnesota-based nonprofit health care firm that serves 1.5 million customers in 12 states, said it’s temporarily closing all six locations. The firm has offices in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota, and employs about 3,000 people. Employees will work from home, Medica spokesman Greg Bury said in an email Friday. “The safety of Medica employees is our top priority and we have increased security both for all of our employees,” a statement from Medica said. “Although we have received no specific threats related to our campuses, our office buildings will be temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution.” Bury also said biographical information on the company’s executives was taken down from its website as a precaution. The insurer cited the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in its announcement about the Dec. 12 event. “All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson’s death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers,” Centene CEO Sarah M. London said in a news release. “He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time.” Centene Corp. has grown in recent years to become the largest insurer in Medicaid, the state- and federally funded program that covers care for people with low incomes. Insurers manage Medicaid coverage for states, and Centene has more than 13 million people enrolled in that coverage. The insurance company also said it’s focused on ensuring the safety of employees and assisting investigators. “While our hearts are broken, we have been touched by the huge outpouring of kindness and support in the hours since this horrific crime took place,” the company said. But he said Friday that he’s confident police will arrest the shooter. “We are on the right road to apprehend him and bring him to justice,” Adams said on TV station WPIX. Later, it removed their names and biographies entirely. Police and federal agents have been collecting information from Greyhound in an attempt to identify the suspect and are working to determine whether he purchased the ticket to New York in late November, a law enforcement official said. Investigators were also trying to obtain additional information from a cellphone recovered from a pedestrian plaza through which the shooter fled. The fatal shooting of Brian Thompson while walking alone on a New York City sidewalk has put a spotlight on the widely varied approaches companies take to protect their leaders against threats. Experts say today’s political, economic and technological climate is only going to make the job of evaluating threats against executives and taking action to protect them even more difficult, experts say. Some organizations have a protective intelligence group that uses digital tools such as machine learning or artificial intelligence to comb through online comments to detect threats not only on social media platforms such as X but also on the dark web, says Komendat. They look for what’s being said about the company, its employees and its leadership to uncover risks. ▶ Read more about the steps companies take to protect their leadership Police said Thursday they found a water bottle and protein bar wrapper from a trash can near the scene of the ambush and think the suspect bought them from a Starbucks minutes before the shooting. The items were being tested by the city’s medical examiner.Jaipur, Dec 6 (PTI) Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Kirodi Lal Meena on Friday accused the police of acting against him over his “objections” on the SHO’s behaviour while detaining people who sought cancellation of SI recruitment exam over alleged irregularities. He claimed that he could tell on whose direction the “FIR” was registered. However, police commissioner Biju George Joseph said that no FIR was registered against him but the sequence of events was mentioned in a daily diary or ‘Rojnamcha’ by the SHO of Mahesh Nagar Police station regarding the incident of Tuesday night. The SHO on Tuesday night detained Manju Sharma, who is seeking the cancellation of the SI recruitment exam. She then went to the Vikas Bidhuri’s residence to detain him on directions of the senior police officers following intelligence inputs that they were planning to disrupt the prime minister’s visits to Jaipur in support of their demand. When the SHO was at Bidhuri’s residence and was trying to call him out, Kirodi Meena reached there and scolded her. He allegedly rebuked her and questioned her actions. On Friday, Meena held a press conference and demanded action against Mahesh Nagar SHO Kavita Sharma. “Only the chief minister can tell on whose behest the FIR was lodged. Why was it lodged, what is the reason? As per the provision in BNSS, I went to save (Manju Sharma and Vikas ) from the police. I did not take the law in my hands,” he said. He said that he would reveal the names of the officers and political leaders who have acted against him only after meeting the BJP state president. Meena said that the “strictest” action should be taken against SHO Kavita Sharma. He said that some officers were protecting her and the government should take the matter seriously. He demanded her arrest in a case that was registered against her in the past. On Wednesday morning, Kirodi Meena reached the residence of Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedham with Manju Sharma and Vikas Bidhuri and demanded action against the SHO. He alleged that some officials have given an intelligence report to the state government stating that he has plans to disrupt Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming events in Rajasthan. The prime minister will inaugurate the Rising Rajasthan Investment Summit on December 9. Without naming any official, Meena termed it an attempt by the officers to spoil his image and to create a divide between him and the chief minister. Meanwhile, when contacted Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph, he said, “No FIR was registered against the minister. The SHO mentioned the sequence of events in the Rojnamcha’.
