Re embarrassing veggie fails - I thought scotch eggs were vegetarian for ages. Was gutted when I realised they contained pork, but now Quorn do them, so it's all good! Delighted to hear that you are enjoying Lex. I had a ridiculous amount of fun writing that book, and laughing at my own jokes. ;-) Yellow Tail is another red wine that is fairly easy to find.

Hardy's and Jacob's Creek aren't too hard to get a hold of. That's not so bad, in that case. Would that I had an iPhone to check out that app, sounds tres handy. My most embarassing veggie fail to date has been an inexplicable conviction that white pudding was somehow safe. Only recently did I find a prepacked pudding in the local supermarket and think to look at the ingredients: 30% pork suet. Really enjoying Lex Trent, incindentally, although you're really much too young, Alex, to be quite so accomplished. Look out for a little write-up in the books recieved feature of The Speculative Scotsman in a few days. Oh! Hardy’s and Jacob’s Creek aren’t too hard to get a hold of.

It really sucks, but it's true :-( A lot of red wines contain isinglass (a sort of gelatine from fish), although most vegetarians I know overlook this because they're not as ferociously strict as I am. There's a handy little application for the iphone (VeganXpress) that has a list of vegetarian wines (Hardy's, Jacob's Creek etc). The list isn't complete but it's better than nothing!

I'm no connoisseur but I do enjoy a glass of good red from time to time - it never even crossed my mind that it'd be going against my veggie ways to do so. Oh, no... Wait, what?
