i like the blushes, white zinfandel etc
reds i like shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, chateau neuf du pape
white i like to be crisp, frascati, pino grigio, had a white merlot the other day that was quite nice too
Afraid I'm considered a bit of a by some in as much as I dont like wine at all...
I am a bit of a Chteau La Mondotte Saint-Emilion 1996 kind of man actually.
The 1986 vintage is a bit more twisty.

Mrs new bought 24 bottles - absolute bargain
No point having a "good pallet" as I think it is often so rudely described. Rich is the man who likes smart price pasta :shock: Who's to say what is and is not a good pallet and what gives them the right to decide?
As for alcoholic taste I go with what I can get at a good price that has the most alcohol % its a value for money thing. My normal drink is Dark rum with coke in a long glass. One of my faves is Ouzo :twisted: I love the taste and it also has the very odd effect of making me laugh a lot, Ive no idea why
I have to say, self-proclaimed wine buffs like that fearsome twonk Jilly Goolden, really get on my saggy breasts. Getting all orgasmic because they can smell the "wispy notes of Oak and Clematis" in a drink. Fecking Grow up. You like it or you do not. Please don't pretend you are doing us a favour by describing the ingredients. That's the equivalent of me standing outside Cadbury's, eating a £5 Mars Bar and crowing over the wonderful caramel, scentiness, the powerful twinge of the sugar and the artery clogging wonderment of the fat content.
I can't tell the difference between a Average bottle of Netto Plonk, a £9m a glass Chateau Lafitte de Grange Sou-le-matin avec sange merde dans l'arbre and fecking anti-freeze from Halfords.
However if I have to choose a wine, I like a red one that tastes a bit of blackcurrant, or a white zinfandel because it's pink (Why the name then?) and it makes me look a bit effeminate when everyone else has a pint, including my missis.
I don't get the point of dry white wine, why have a drink that makes you thirsty? It's like eating a dinner that makes you hungry.
My favourite tipple, Ribena. The proper full strength, decays your teeth to rotting husks overnight, unapologetic, sugar-filled original. That and Kia-Ora orange, and I liked the advert for that too.
3 litre bottle of white lightning wrapped in a morisons baggy round the back of the bus shelter.
Delightful. The light bouquet of piss just adds to the sensory experience.
...I'll be your dawg, arf arfarfarf arf arf arf!

i think my name speaks for itself, there are some great wines at cheaper prices and if you like it drink it, but i had too much of the good stuff :haha:
