Summer's coming, the World Cup is almost upon us and according to JONATHAN RAY, there has been no better time to set off on a bargain-hunting booze cruise to Calais. The Ray family head off to France to see what's what and the final verdict is a good one: We've had a great day, stocked up both larder and cellar (making considerable savings) and enjoyed the fleeting experience of being abroad.' The main focus of the outing was Champagne and highlights included Marie Stuart Brut Champagne (14.50/10.15; Carrefour) and Franois Heucq Brut Rserve Champagne (16/11.19; Le Bar a Vins).
