A nice wine.....
Jump to: Newest in thread
No not a moan.
You want a nice bottle of wine. Not based on price but on taste. Simple drinkability.
So .... maybe it's about a fiver/tenner more than you'd usually pay for the bottle......
What can you recommend ? |

I always buy wine which has been produced locally, tends to have no chemical crap.
One of my favourites is Clives Wine produced in Hereford
Take a trek to your local Farm shop Granny see what they have. |

I don't like wine at all, but when I buy wine for others I always pick the ones "on offer" that were the priciest initially.

South African Shiraz or Merlot even a Cabernet Sauvignon is what I drink...always chilled even though it's supposed to be room temp'...never paid more than £8 and the strength varies from 13.5% to 14.5%....Nice too.  |

"19 crimes
"
I didn't like 19 crimes, but only for the reverse hipster.. whatever... Always feel cautious about wines that immediately grab your attention with their label / name... like... what are they hiding?! |

"Casillero del Diablo wines are all nice and reasonable.
I like those but they are my run of the mill. I meant one that you'd pay upwards for ....... but I always appreciate a Casillero ."
Yeah... we're all classier than "Black Tower 2" here, right? :D |

For a while I enjoyed Faustino 1. It's just unobtainable now......
When people buy a Faustino V or VII I am always well mannered but think... fuck off...... the grape is barely out of the ground.
It's more the vintage for me than the name. |

Smooth feels like velvet and warm ..... doesn't feel like vinegar stripping your throat ....

I genuinely don't think you have to pay the tenner more now,
Some fantastic gold award wines for @ £10 as long as your not a brand/label snob. |

"Anyone else heard if you drink beer after wine you lose your arse? Or is it the other way around?
Does that mean lose weight or shit yourself ?"
Well I shit myself once but I can't remember which way it did it . Might find out later. |

"What type of wine do you like? Red / white / rose "
Red Cabernet usually ....... White has to be Cabernet usually a Villa de Maria .... Most times I water the white with tonic... I get squiffy otherwise.
The red is straight or over ice in the summer ....... I know ... a sin right ? Try it it's good. |

Our favourite red at the moment is McGuigan Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon it’s delicious, I’d give this one a 9.5/10 yummy McGuigan do a variety of others but found this one to be the best. |

"A bottle of wine is no good though, I need more
Shit , really ? I have one large glass
I wish I could enjoy that
Do you quaff till you drop ?"
No I learned my lesson years ago. I don't keep alcohol in the house because I know I will keep drinking it. |
