Xikers is a K-pop boy group consisting of ten members. Debuting under KQ Entertainment in 2023, they have garnered a reasonably large-scale fanbase, especially for a group under one of the smaller K-pop entertainment companies out there: KQ Entertainment, which rose from humble origins and gained success through their current most successful group, Ateez. Xikers have been developing their sound and identity, though their discography remains somewhat underrated and sometimes underpromoted.

£13.95–£14, Stone, Vine and Sun, Hic!I was going to keep this dry Riesling under wraps until more stockists had moved on to the 2023 vintage, but as many of us have stepped into summer this week, however briefly, and it’s such a perfect wine for sunny, warm weather, I’m going ahead. This comes from a warm vintage, but it’s still racy, chiselled and crackling with energy, sprinkling lemon, lime, quince, honeysuckle and spice on to stony, rock-pool minerality.
