Tenkay Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm sure a few glasses of wine will have been enjoyed recently by the fine people here on pie and bovril, so here is a thread for you to tell us about it. Do you prefer a white wine or a nice red? Welcome! Become a member of this Wine club by posting your thoughts here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White wine is great in certain occasions, particularly in the summer and if I’m required to be more sociable. Red wine puts me in a bit of a daze. You must drink it by the gallon.

Jmothecat2 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I quite like red wine but never really been a fan of white wine. Best I've drank this Christmas was Terre de Faiano, bought a few bottles and they went down well over Christmas. Generally only have wine with food really but over Christmas I usually end up drinking a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the economical costs and selections available in supermarkets they have surely become pretty much obsolete. Still quite a few of these "specially selected case just for you" mobs in operation. I think virgin still do it too. Most of these wines are the same cheapo stuff you buy in the supermarket and a collection of stuff they need to get shot of. Even with their £60 off your first case they still come in at a stupid price. One for the mugs only those schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the house its usually a couple of beers first then onto the vino. The pub can get complicated, if I end up going on wine after drinking beer I've been known to carry on drinking it like its beer which can get messy. Its just about exclusively red I drink although the odd kiwi sauv blanc on a sunny day hits the spot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 All this wine nonsense. You get all of these wine people don't you. You know, wine this, wine that. Let's have a bit of red; let's have a bit of white. Oooh that's a snazzy bouquet. Oooh this smells of... I don't know, basil! Sometimes you just want to say sod all this wine just give me a pint of mineral water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obsession with me is endearing Biggie, even when it's a cheap attempt to garner greenies. Anyway I'd like to wish you a happy new year. I love wine in the way I love art; know f**k all about it other than what I like. Like most reds, particularly Rioja; like dry whites, particularly Chablis though I'm too miserable to buy it often. Presently sitting drinking a bottle of Sainsbury's Semi Sec Cava with brunch. People who drink Rose are scum; sub-human scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about the craft beer thing us that now basically every pub has a choice of beers with flavour, unlike 10 or so years ago where you would have the choice of Deuchars or generic bland lagers. The snobbery around beer these days is annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Danger I'm not an expert but know what I like and I don't like the wankiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Someone’s had a bit too much wine over the festivities! No one has ever said that and if they have they should be put in prison. Can I just shock you? I like wine. Despite what I just said earlier. At any one time I have nine bottles of wine in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I can remember when the only colours of wine were black and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I’m going to predict he has a wine rack that he likes being filled to capacity. Good shout throbber. Sounds like he needs a bigger wine rack. At the moment I am mostly enjoying Argentinian Malbec, if having a white I do enough a new Zealand Sauvignon blanc (Marlborough).
