My boutique wine tour — Scandinavian style Sweden’s young vineyards can now fling open their cellar doors and sell direct to visitors… Katie Gatens adds slick hotels and pebble bays for an epicurean adventure

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown
