    I think it is quite a common trait for wine tasters not to drink much. Too much probably damages the pallette. Been going in my local for 35 years. Although I didn't like the bloke some of the best beer was kept by a landlord who was a teetotaller. In fact there has been a high turnover of landlords/managers since him and though a couple previously equalled him none have since.

    25% discount at Sainsbury’s currently when you buy six bottles of many of their wines and champagnes, limited to 36 bottles per shop.

    Bargain.

    It's funny now reading this thread about wine as it was many years ago that I switched from beer drinking to red wine as a tipple. This alone made me a laughing stock and the cause of much mirth between my drinking pals. I decided that I couldn't take the bulk of multiple pints any more, causing me to feel bloated halfway through the night, so switched to wine. The sight of me stood with a small wine glass whilst all around the guys, and some of the girls, were quaffing their pints caused quite a stir at the time. How times have changed.
