Wall Candy: A Meal Without Wine Screen Print

This hand-pulled screen print is currently topping the list of my most coveted homewares. And although of course us Domestic Sluts would never forget this sacred rule and serve a meal without wine, it doesn't hurt to remind everyone else of this undeniable truth, first inscribed by 19th Century French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

It's retro without being tacky, it's simple enough to make a statement addition to an otherwise-unfussy dining room or kitchen, and it can be yours unframed for £34.99, from The Contemporary Home.

Whilst I'll definitely be keeping this on my list of gifts for myself and other wine enthusiasts, I also have to confess to heartily concurring with Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's other famous claim: "A dessert without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye.”

Although apparently the folks from TCH weren't as impressed with that one, as I've yet to find a screen print of that particular slogan!
