We can blame that bad boy Edward IV if we want to believe Shakespeare. It's a Madeira wine, so not a bad way to go, really.
If I had the choice, it would be a nice single malt, but who could afford that much? I'll start now, with just the one, thanks. Something peaty, please.
Is that the way they normally flavour it?
