"Cooper is a man with tremendous gusto and passion for the pleasures of life and food, but he is also a man who has a blazing fury with those who are responsible for allowing our food supply to have become so contaminated and with those countless others who accept this state with apathy and disregard."

WINES FROM NEW PLACES
This week wine writer Andrew Jefford explores the world of wine making from countries which are not traditionally associated with wine production. The grapevine is usually associated with vineyards in temperate latitudes with long warm dry summers and cool wet winters. But here we look at wine production in the tropics.
First Simon Parkes visits the Sula Winery in India and talks to the owner Rajeev Samany.
Then Poppy Sebag Montefiore goes to Beijing to look at how a taste for grape wine is being acquired in a culture where rice wine is the traditional drink.
She visits one of the country’s largest wineries, Great Wall Wines, and a wine tasting by the American importer Montrose wine importers hosted by their marketing director Ethan Perk.
Reporter Joe Hollins tours the Awash winery in Ethiopia to discover a wine-making tradition that has been in existence for over 60 years
Then Andrew talks to French winemaker Laurent Metge Toppin, who is creating a selection of wines from Thailand at the Siam Winery.
In the studio Andrew tastes some of the wines and talks to Robert Joseph chair of the Asian wine challenge and publishing editor of Wine International Magazine and Jon Hellin a researcher for the international development agency ITDG, who has looked at the affects of wine production on small producers from developing countries.
