About
The name “Journey to the Centre of the Universe” is the story of how wine-maker came to discover the incredible viticultural potential of the Southern-most tip of Africa after seven years’ making wine around the world. This Blanc Fumé (meaning Sauvignon blanc matured in barrel) is made completely naturally: The grapes come from an isolated vineyard in the Sondagskloof, Walker Bay. The vineyard is in its third and final year of conversion to organic farming. Absolutely nothing was added or taken away during the winemaking process, the wine was bottled un-fined, unfiltered and most importantly without the addition of any Sulphur Dioxide as a preservative.

Singles Day: all you need to know in 30 seconds flat
In 1993 a couple of Chinese fellas decided to celebrate their lack of significant others; an anti-Valentine's Day, if you will. They picked 11/11 because of all the 1s - clever, but also sort of heartbreaking.
Singles' Day quickly gained popularity in China. And that makes sense: with a population of over a billion people, there are bound to be more than a few individuals who have been third-wheeling it all their lives.
Then Alibaba struck. The biggest online store in the world marketed the HECK out of it. They sold US$38.4 billion in goods on Singles' Day last year alone.
Which proves two things. Single people clearly have more money than couples, and Alibaba have the best marketing team ever.
In news closer to home, here are over 100 different deals that you can take advantage of if you're single. But also if you're not.
