Rosé, free-range eggs, DVD rentals – what else should be in the basket of goods used to measure inflation?

The Office for National Statistics has updated the basket of 650 goods it uses to measure inflation to include hardwood flooring, MP4 (rather than MP3) players, rosé wine and free-range eggs. DVD rentals and wine boxes are out, as are tins of cat food, which are replaced by pouches.

What would you put in the basket?
