    Been buying "Xmas Wine" since March. Strangely, I seem to have accidentally drunk most of it!

    Bought a new Fridge Freezer in the summer so moved the old one into the garage and filled it up with wine and beer

    As it stands (and this may change) we have:
    40 Bottles Malborough Sav Blanc
    36 Bottles Pinot Grigio
    36 Bottles Yellow Tail Shiraz
    24 Bottles Bop House 13
    24 Bottles Estrella
    6 Bottles Champagne
    18 Bottles Prosecco


    Bit worried we might run out so might have to do a reserve shop

    To be fair, we will have the full 3 family bubble experience and that wine should last us well into the new year

    We are really not big drinkers
    However we do have out moment
    Couple of craft beers tonight I think
    Ohhh and some how over the past 10-15 years or so I’ve always had a bottle of champagne to myself on a Christmas Day don’t know why

    Years ago when i got onto red wine, i thought a litre was a more reasonable amount as i always opened another bottle for one more glass.

    I started buying 4 bottle boxes then.

    One night i could hardly get up the stairs to go to bed and thought "fook i must of drank 2 bottles ffs"
    The next night i thought "at least ive got 2 bottles worth left".

    Think i got a glass out of it :eek: :D

    Stopped buying boxes after that :D

    We do the pre Christmas nectar points thing at Sainsbury's, got £70 free wines a few weeks back, opened the first Marlborough Shiraz red at the weekend and I'm now worried it won't cover both Christmas and the New Year...

    Used to drink. Then realised I didnt like it. Didnt help my anxiety and depression one bit. Hangovers just got worse, couldnt cope with them. Probably been drunk once within the last ten years. Got home, the cool feeling of my bathroom floor was just too inviting, passed out with my head in the bathroom, my body on the landing and my legs dangling over the top of the stairs. Never again.

    I woke up on the kitchen floor one morning years ago, half naked in a pile of puke.

    I'm usually pretty good at knowing my limits though.
    Mrs rarely drinks now, seen her in some states when we were younger after just a few.
    She thinks everyone from the North east are pìss heads <laugh>

    My lad can't handle booze and fair do's doesn't drink either.

    Youngest daughter unfortunately drinks like a navvy.
