On the Fifth day of Christmas…
…my true love sent to me five bottles of Gold Cuvee.
…my true love sent to me four fabulous bottles of Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Domaine des Lambrays 1999.
…my true love sent to me three wine books. Matthew Jukes is a brilliant wine writer
….my true love sent to me a pair of antique Victorian sterling silver and cut crystal pair of claret jugs.
There is some debate as to whether this is simply a popular romantic song celebrating Christmastime or an aide memoire for Catholics concealing their faith in Elizabethan England
