DRINK OF THE WEEK
20th October 2025
Taste the Difference Calvados
Sainsbury's £26.00
Drinker Rating 92
You really just need some drinks in your life - even if you've never tried them before or don't know what they are or are capable of and Calvados is one of them.
This is an apple brandy unique to Normandy in France and is absolutely perfect for this time of year because of it's wondefully warming orchard and spice character. Think of an apple pie crossed with a mince pie and we're beginning to get there.
This one from Sainsbury's is a work of genius, really high quality (hence the price) produced in the Pays D'auge which has tighter regulations, it delivers in spades. Drink this on its own, over ice or add a dash to your Christmas mincemeat or pudding mix.
Go on - indulge yourself.
Cheers!
