EVEN wine enthusiast Jilly Goolden would struggle to come up with suitable adjectives to describe Chateau Derwent.
Certainly the bouquet leaves something to be desired, as all the flood victims whose houses still smell of vintage 2000 Derwent know only too well.

It will give them a taste of the misery caused by floods in the region.
And it will make the point that 10p on council tax for urgent flood defence is a drop in the Derwent.
