Red wine always tastes that bit nicer after a win!

Good idea...

 

This wasn't bad either.

 

This lot here give us 6 mixed bottles of wine at Christmas (usually 3 white, 2 red, and a pink/rose), but I've never been a fan of the stuff.
I'd much rather have a crate of Heineken or Moretti or Kronenbourg for example.

 

Small shot of Cachaca. Neat. No lime.

Then been on water all night, like a good lad.

 

When I can afford it Brunello di Montalcino, something more affordable a Lirac or Sangiovese. A dry white either NZ Sauvignon Blanc or a Picpoul from Languedoc.

 

That’s what we thought - my grandad was a bit of a buff even if I wasn’t and aren’t now - though Uncle Alec thought it was marvellous.

Though to be fair I’m not sure he was the greatest judge - he was a wartime escapee from Poland who got to the U.K. as a young teenager - credited with getting his older sister and mother to safety to boot - he was used to having less than nothing; he disliked literally nothing food wise, he ate absolutely anything and loved it - so I assume his taste buds were inclined to like it when he’d paid £250 for a case of 12 of them on a trip to France (incidentally he went on the Eurostar, saying something like how it’d have been ‘a lot ******* easier in 1940 if there was a tunnel then’. I have a lot of respect for this man, sadly long gone, though I didn’t know him well. He was and is my mums absolute hero though). Anyway, I digress.

In 1997 this was too - £250 was a lot then. Not a snip now in fairness. With inflation you’d be looking at £570 - £47.50 a bottle. I’d say it wasn’t worth £47.50 for all 12.

Blimey I can ramble on. You can tell Rhys knocked off at half nine in the end and so I’ve had time to have a few sherbets since then…

 

So that’s what the red in redhelen stands for!!!

 

And on the plus side Sheffield Wednesday also lost thanks to #neverforget Josh Brownhill.

 

Who?

 

A bottle or two of local apple homebrew cider.
You don't appreciate it until it hits you and leaves you gaga.

 

For anyone into their reds

this stuff is amazing

You are supposed to drink it and not assault yourself with it lol

 

I must be a peasant ....Red wine to me tastes like something I imagine you'd use to de-rust old car parts in.

 

That’s rustoleum de pappy.

 

It always tastes like medicine to me.

 

You need the right wine!

 

I've tried...my son's a wine drinker and I've tried what he finds acceptable...and over the years friends have offered me drinks that are supposed to be decent, but tbh I find them all so dry and acidic, ie one glass followed by a box of Rennies....rather like drinking chipshop non brewed condiment.

 

Fair enough, sounds like you have tried!

 

Probably. Probably need to spend more then £6 on it too.
