    Used to drink Snakebite at Uni. Every Friday, pints of snakebite and bottles of elephant lager to top it up with. It's a wonder I have any memories of my uni days.....

    Sauvignon blanc for white, Like the St Emillion Bordeaux reds (they’re all nice, the 4 I’ve tried anyhow but the Morrison’s one is lovely)

    Beer wise I like a blonde normally. Brew dog punk IPA

    I live in the heart of a South Australian wine district and Yellowtail and Wolff Blass (along with McGuigan) would be some of the cheapest over rated wines that are produced in Aus.

    If you want a good red then look for any of the Wirra Wirra range (5 minutes down the road and you can't go wrong)

    For whites i prefer a nice NZ sav blanc, Oyster Bay or Montana would be the tipple of choice.

    For quaffing wine the Aldi branded 4 litre crisp dry white at $9 (about 5 quid) can't be beaten.

    As far as spirits go i prefer bourbon to scotch. Makers Mark or Blantons for me. That being said a nice shiraz gin is not to sneezed at.

    ****, when i read that back i guess i'm a piss head :)

    Quadruple vodka and red bulls at the Masons in Consett. Masons shots were 1.5:1 so it was actually 6 shots. Deadly!

    Must be pushing 20 years since I last went out in Consett. I've just looked at the Masons on street view and it still looks exactly the same!

    It gets busy in there on a weekend, quiet during the week though.
    I've only lived up here since 2015, but looking at old photos it still does look the same.

    The Montana is nice and we keep a few bottles of that in. I am a mainly french white wine man, with sancerre being a favourite, although it has tended to become a bit poorer recently I think. A good Chablis still takes the beating for me though.

    What I don't get is all these fruity beers. Got an introductory offer from one of these breweries and they sent me a case of lagers/IPAs and the like. Some of them were grapefruit flavoured IPA, or strawberry lager. What in God's name is THAT all about? Minging

    I'm a lager lout. Now on mainly the premium bottles, depends what's on draught when I'm out (about 3 times a year). Could never get into the ales.

    Went to Usworth comp, left in 1982.
    Lived in Sulgrave when I started comp, and moved to Lambton when I was in the 3rd year...didn't want to change schools.

    The Vaux Beer and Tap Room in Monk Street (5 minutes walk from the SoL) is well worth a visit for real ale buffs like me. Always an amazing selection and some really unusual.
