To Lidl's, armed with memory of last night's reading of gin reviews. Interestingly, and probably not surprisingly, as with wine there is no precise correlation between price and quality. Thus Greenall's, available at Smart discount stores, scores as highly as the more expensive - and prettier - Bombay Sapphire - our usual standby. But more highly ranked than either is Lidl's own German made Castelgy, which I would have thought I knew better than to buy. And here it is at only €5.79 ($8.06 CAD, £4.86) for a 70 cl bottle. Happy discovery of the day.
