Wine expert Oliver Hugenot has made a secret admission in emails leaked from his private server it emerged today.
Hugenot, who started his wine loving life as a student working as a sommelier, wrote about how he was making a fortune from making stuff up.
'It's a miracle of the modern world Mumsy' read the email.
'All I have to do is sit down with an old typewriter and a thesaurus and write the most verbose, florid prose about each bottle and its fragrance and I get payed enormous sums of money.'
'I have made it. I have arrived and I will spoil you forever. I will bring a bottle with me next time I see you. It will be expensive Mumsy though that matters not. It all tastes the same. People are far too polite or pretentious to say any different.'
This is not the first time Hugenot has got into trouble for emailing an unspeakable truth.
His previous role as a food critic saw email leaks saying Kobe beef was identical to Lidl's frozen beef steaks, caviar is mainly farmed in the River Mersey and 7 year aged cheddar 'has just been sitting in a huge freezer at the bottom of the gorge.'
