This edition of The Bunker is sponsored by Naked Wines. I'm Seth Tevall.

And I'm Zoe Grunewold.

And here at the bunker, we don't believe in guesswork. We go to the experts for the best insights into news and politics. And why should wine be any different?

0:15.1

That's why we're pleased to recommend Naked Wines. I enjoy their Bariccas Gallaudoro Reserva from Portugal. Well, I'm trying their small and

0:23.9

small Savignon Blanc from New Zealand. Seth, tell me, what's your wine knowledge like? Very specialised,

0:30.6

so pretty good on things Portuguese, but non-existent on those other things. How about you, Zay?

0:35.5

I drink most anything, but I have to say I'm really enjoying the savenient blanc. It's citrusy, it's got notes of gooseberry. I could just drink the whole bottle. What makes naked wines so convenient is that they deliver top quality wines right to your jaw from world-class winemakers from across the globe, whether it's a French rosé, a New Zealand reisling, or even the Lebanese

0:54.8

syria, naked can help you find your next bottle to fall in love with.

And this premium doesn't have to come at a punishing price. By working directly with the

winemakers, they can pass on the benefit and offer bottles up to 33% less than typical retail

1:09.7

prices. Head to Nakedwines.co.com.uk forward slash the bunker to get six top-rated wines for

1:16.7

just £39.99. That's £6.67 a bottle. I repeat, that's six bottles of wine for just £39.99,

with delivery included. That's nakedwines.com.uk,

1:30.5

forward slash the bunker, to grab six bottles for just $39.99. Click the link in the description.

And joining me for Start Your Week is broadcaster and historian Alex von Tunzeman. Hi, Alex. Good morning, Jav. First of all,

2:18.0

then, Alex, this Trump-Putin meeting, it didn't really deliver results that we might have hoped for

2:24.0

or expected. But does that somewhat depend on your perspective, really? Because if you are of Putin's

2:31.8

perspective, he managed to drag Trump to a meeting and re-show that he is in

control, didn't he?
