Let's see how much of an alcoholic snob I can be.......
Ardbeg Uigeadail
Bowmore 25YO
Bunnahabhain 27YO
Glen Grant 37YO
Several other well aged single malts including Bladnoch, Fettercairn, Clynelish, and this year's Laphroaig Cairdeas
Some real ales from local Dunham Massey and Frodsham breweries.
And my home-infused Blackberry Vodka - been maturing this since the end of summer. Blackberries hand-picked of course.
Might have the odd bottle of red wine knocking around too.

Think Frodsham is up for sale, old fella is retiring & has nobody to pass it to. £80k I think.

Superb choices there, I'm waiting for the right time to open a replica of the scotch they found with Endurance, cost a fair bit too. Also in the cupboard is a 35YO port, think is once it's open it's only good for a couple of days!
A few of these bottles I've had open for well over a year - I definitely think some get better with a few months of breathing, particularly Bowmore. Never been a big port fan, even at Christmas, - although a 35YO port must be excellent.

Shame on you and the other posters after this post. You've been away too long Altrincham.
Brambles son, Brambles.
Good dessert wine is good, but only with dessert, and no more than 1 glass of it. There are loads out there but if in doubt you can't go wrong with Royal Tokaji. It's Hungarian, expensive and very good.
Ones that I definitely know are in the house:
Budweiser
Carlsberg
Fosters Gold
John Smiths
Guinness
Hobgoblin
Southern Comfort
Jack Daniels
Glenfiddich
Jagermeister
Sambuca (normal and black)
Mickey Finns
Russian Standard
Absolut Vodka
Magners
Bulmers
Koppaberg
WKD
Smirnoff Ice
Port (not sure exactly what)
Sake
Various Wines
I think this is going to last more than one day...

6 different experimental turbo ciders, mainly made from supermarket apple juice, flavoured with soft fruit I found at the bottom of the freezer when I defrosted it, elderflower and Yorkshire tea. Some cloudy. Some clear. Some carbonated. Some flat. Just made out of idle curiosity and boredom really. A gallon of each.
I've a malt extract kit - Milestone Green Man - that was on offer somewhere. Made it 8 pints short but it's still a bit thin. It's OK but quite meh. I wouldn't offer it to anyone else, unless they asked. I'm drinking it now as it happens.
Some dandelion wine which looks sensational, and will taste the same, but it's a bit early for Christmas. Some second cut rhubarb wine which should be ready. A lovely sparkling elderflower, which is brilliant but needs to be strained before drinking.
Lots of vodka infusions - blackcurrent, bramble, blueberry, strawberry, vanilla, lavender, rosemary, orange, nectarine.
Vodka liquors - rhubarb (which is so smooth, it can be drunk on the rocks), chestnut (which can't).
Shop bought - various supermarket reds and whites, selected purely by how much they claim to be discounted. 2 bottles of Harveys Bristol Cream. 2 bottles of Port, 1 bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, a couple of single malts. A few Proseccos, Cavas and cheap Champagnes.
Ernie's Christmas ****tail recipe: I make this for the wife and daughter but it's ****ing lovely:
Strawberry and Cream Christmas ****tail.
2 measure strawberry vodka
1 measure vanilla vodka.
1 measure vodka.
2 measure grenadine.
1 can American cream soda.
Serve over crushed ice, garnished with fresh strawberries, in a hurricane glass.

I use to drink far to much.
Couldn't have a couple and then go home.
Now I don't because if I have one I have another and another etc
Stupid I know but that's how it was .
Course I have NO problem with people who enjoy a drink...
If I go in pub I have a coke .
