Thread: Wine

    Wine

    I've come to realise It's bloody lovely stuff.

    I've also come to realise that not only price doesn't always determine how nice it is, neither do 'awards'. Maybe it's my shit taste.

    I would always choose red over white or rose - can anyone recommend any budget wine? (Below £6) I've found lidls stuff very hit and miss!

    Never had a bad Chilean Merlot. Best drunk one day after opening

    Black Tower will remove any scratches off your car but if it's red as your favourite tipple , Bulls blood is the answer , But f@ck knows what the question is

    What would you drink in the meantime then and what if you don't fancy a glass the day after? 🤔

    I'm very partial to Blossom Hill - only £4.29 from the local shop. A fruity bouquet with a saucy aftertaste....great with a curry!

    Faustino is a decent Rioja, can be cheap or over a tenner, depending on ordinary/reserva/gran reserva etc

    There's so any decent wines in supermarkets for under £5-£6, experiment and find one(or ten) that you like.

    Listen mate, if you're not going to take your job of drinking seriously then I can't help you. You've seen the booze adverts "Drink responsibly"... what can be more "responsible" than planning ahead?? IMG_0088.GIF

    Ah now I see.
    The answer to my second question speaks for itself and the first one.... you already had one open from the night before

    Just bought a Chilean cabernet sauvignon for £3.98 in Barry Asda. Can't fault that price.

    Grapevine Merlot from Aldi is perfectly drinkable. At £3.29 a bottle, you can't go wrong.

    Blimey, that's damning with faint praise

    @WJ99 aye, wine is a whole universe of beauty and pleasure to be explored, enjoyed, appreciated and occasionally getting merrily pissed. Only occasionally of course... ;)

    So many to choose from but here's one suggestion - have a look in the Spanish section for a Rioja / Tempranillo which also says Reserva or better still Gran Reserva on the label.
    Can be found at a genuinely decent price, esp when they might also be on offer.
    Open a couple of hours before pouring.

    These can be rich dark fruit , spicy, vanilla-ry, oaky or any combination thereof. Yum. Unlikely to find a disappointment.
