Wine Strength, WhatsApp Scam, and Hotel Food Shortage

You and Yours

Available for over a year

What would you do if you had a text message you thought was from your child or family member asking you for help? You don't recognise the number, but they explain something's happened to their phone so they have a new number, they also ask for help paying a bill. We will hear from one mother who nearly fell victim to a scam on WhatsApp, and Trading Standards will tell us how to protect ourselves against it. How is climate change impacting on the wine you drink? Our reporter Bob Walker finds out by speaking to wine makers, importers, and sellers, discovering it’s increasing the strength of the wine in your glass. And booked to stay in a hotel? You may want to check what’s on the menu. You & Yours has been noticing that Premier Inn customers have been complaining that there is a lack of food available, and with no warning. We will be speaking to Kate Nicholls from UK Hospitality to find out what’s happening.
