Cheap wine; Tunisia tourism; Deliveroo kitchens

Why some wine shoppers are snubbing cheaper brands in favour of pricier bottles.

British tourists will be able to go back to Tunisia after the Foreign Office lifted its warning to stay away. It's an important step because tourists who ignore official travel advice can't get insurance. The warning was originally issued by the government after 30 British tourists were murdered in 2015 by an Islamist terrorist on the beach at Sousse. But it has changed its mind after working closely with the Tunisian government and reassessing the risk from terrorism. The advice is still to avoid parts of Tunisia bordering Libya.

The delivery company Deliveroo has begun producing food in its own kitchens. It's seen by some as a potential revolution in the takeaway industry. Deliveroo was set up to collect food from restaurants and deliver it, creating a new trade in takeaway meals. But now the food is being cooked in one central place. We've been to visit one of the kitchens to see how it works.

And how do you go about choosing your wine? A new study of 100 brands, compiled by the Grocer magazine and the research company Nielsen, suggests that sales of cheaper brands have been falling, while more expensive bottles are proving more popular. We'll look at what's driving that trend.
