Take some time for yourself with soothing classical music from the mindful mix,

the Science of Happiness Podcast.

For the last 20 years I've dedicated my career to exploring the science of living a happier more meaningful life and I want

to share that science with you.

And just one thing, deep calm with Michael Mosley.

I want to help you tap in to your hidden relaxation response system and open the door to that

calmer place within. Listen on BBC Sounds.

This is a Thinking Loud Podcast from the BBC and for more details in our terms of use and

much, much more about Thinking aloud.

Hello. I used to be quite a drinker. I mean on a good night I could knock back five pints of old

vat house bitter and a couple of shorts and still be sober enough to sing several

choruses of you'll never walk alone or drop a chicken jalphrasy and still walk

home without falling off the pavement. But of course those drinking days are now

more or less gone forever in so far as I drink at all now I stick

I stick to wine and of course here it's not quantity or volume that's the issue but

rather what you might call taste, aesthetics, the sort of thing that exercised

jilly golden.

I'm going to show you how to pair some lovely affordable wines with some delicious Italian food.

You want to have a lovely intense Italian red

which has enough juicy fruit and backbone.

The one I think is best is Montepuchano de Butze.
