Energy Price cap, Sugar Inflation, Mortgage Pressures

Available for over a year

The new energy price cap will be announced by the regulator, Ofgem, on Friday. It's predicted to be around £1,925 per year on average for the typical household, meaning energy bills are likely to fall from £2,074 in October. We speak to Richard Neudegg of Uswitch about the impact on fixed deals and if we're better off staying on a standard variable tariff. Planning a wedding can be a tricky thing. We look at what's involved if you and your guests use a wheelchair. We hear from Eliza Rain who's been writing about her experience online and Simon Sansome who created an App called Snowball. Our reporter, Melanie Abbott, looks at sugar inflation and how it's affecting the production of drinks, biscuits and processed food as well as causing costs to double. We take another look at the uncertainties involved with recycling and ask if our individual efforts really make much of a difference. We speak to Oliver Franklin-Wallis about his new book, Wasteland, which lifts the lid on what happens to the stuff we throw away. There was a time, not very long ago, that we drank a lot of German wine - Riesling in particular. It fell out of fashion when a bigger range of wines became available but it now seems to be making a comeback. We hear from people on a night out in a wine bar and also speak to Aleesha Hansel, a wine writer, presenter and judge. High mortgage interest rates are forcing some people to sell up. Research from Zoopla has found that more people say they're selling because they need to, rather than because they want to move to a different area or type of home. We hear from a homeowner who's faced this problem and Richard Donnell from Zoopla. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Tara Holmes
