Your host makes the case for both, then gets out of the way. You taste, you argue with your table, and you drop a cork into the glass cylinder of the wine you think won.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe level of corks is the result. Nothing is collected and nothing is counted. Four pairs of cylinders stand at the front of the room all afternoon, and by ten to three the whole day's verdict is there in glass, filling up while you eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes it is the same wine in two vintages. Sometimes it is the same grape off two hillsides, one here above the lagoon and one at Leonardslee in Sussex, which is the swallow's own route.
