    Do you prefer red, white, Rose or do you hate wine?

    Any recommendations.

    I’m still a fan of a good Barolo or Amarone.

    with whites I’ve been on the Pecorino quite a bit of late. Tesco do a lovely one for about £8.

    not arsed with rose.

    Currently into Moscato.

    Nice white wine and get a good one from Sainsbury’s. Not expensive nor fancy but tastes really good.

    Not into expensive wine nor reds nor rose.

    A nice pint of council pop is the best and that's a fact

    19 crimes red is great at £8 a bottle.
    La Moneda Malbec is usually on offer at Asda for £5, great wine for that price

    Ha ha. I can’t drink supermarket wine now and generally speaking you get what you pay for with red wine.

    I drink white wine with fizzy water in as a spritzer. So the cheaper the better. But when it comes to red wine Id rather spend a bit more and enjoy it.

    Ive drank a lot of different reds and I always come back to the expensive ones. I’m not being a snob on this it’s just in general they are nearly always tastier when they are over post £10.

    Red.

    Its killing me to say this, but I really love Barolo and Amarone. I feel like a dirty mackem like ACS now. Bah.

    I also love Muga. My uncle lives in Madrid and he carries round a case of Muga in the back of his car in case the restaurant he goes to doesn't have Muga. Pays a corking charge rather than drink something else the ****ing looney.

    I can't drink white at all, its rank. The only bearable one I've found is Sancerre.

    My love of Barolo and Amarone is journey out of my raiding your cellar after I’ve raided your lass mate.

    thanks for the tip.


    Which reminds me of the last thing she said to me at the weekend...

    :)

    She's had you mate, all my good reds are at the office. That stuff she's given you is piss from a camel who had a kidney stone. Hence it being red. Why does she have camels piss in a bottle marked Amarone you ask? Well Akil the camel was the one who gave her the bad aids. I lost a bet on the camel racing, I needed something to trade and she enjoyed riding Akil so much she wanted a momento :emoticon-0148-yes:

    White mainly cos the twat missus only drinks white - rjioca, riesling, pino and **** like that.

    Got a subscription to a wine club, so get a box of 12 every couple of months. Halfway through smashing through the latest case atm.
