Ernest and Julio Gallo:- Sierra Valley White Grenache is very nice, it's a blush wine so it's 'pink'

If you don't like this one - give up!!

dont like lambrini,,,,, ive got fucking loads of that in here at the moment

the missus drinks it with her sister/mates before a night on the piss and cause its a screw top ( sorry but screw top wine ) its back in the fridge and she will drink it when doing her paperwork ect


blush wine,,,,,,, that sounds PINK,,,,, sorry but i feel a littlegay drinking wine,,,, and last week at a work pissup/serious business promo my manager was drinking rose champers and i kept getting the barmaid to stick cherrys/slice of lemon and a olive on a cocktail stick in it so dont wanna start drinking that


red wine,,,,,, i dont wanna be that former oxford graduate drop out look JUST yet

just when i go to these works things everyone makes fun of my pints and i dont look like a typical office worker and get refered to has the pikey chav

so change of image is needed,,,,,, or atleast ill try but i dont wanna look like a poncy pretentious prick either, you know the ones who turn up at meetings with there rolex watchs/hugo boss long jackets think they are millionares in there company cars but in actual fact they still live at home with mummy car saleman look

was more thinking i dont wanna have the " hes got a job in a office but we all know he was born on a council estate and will start fight when hes drunk, oh and ive got that image as i nutted a mate from work when i was talking to a regional director at the first work outing i was invited too when he pinched my nipples,,,,, and hes the fooker who when we go the bar never asks what im drinking but instead just orders a stella


so a nice white wine that tastes like erm,,,,, well ive tried a dry wine and that tastes,,,,,, FOOKING SHARP

ill try the pink one but ill borrow some blue stained glasses from my mums house first as well dont want my neighbours thinking im gay

Stellas fecking horrible and I've no idea why I drink it as I talk bollocks at the best of times

I quite like Rose Pinot Grigio, Asti Spumante but cant get my head round red wine as it sends me totally loopy and it doesn't seem right drinking it warm

nope i actually like drinking it,,,, honestly the 7 pubs i drink in round my work all serve a nice pint of stella ( dont get me wrong theres a few rancid stellas sold when the pipes aint clean)


just its not a drink to have when going out for a meal when something new is launched paied for by the company,,,,, you know what i mean you are at a table at the raddison/ ect and everyone is eating there mean with wine and my glass is still up turned and i have to travel to the bar to get a pint of stella with my meal,,,, not like anyone has mentioned it but they do make comments when drunk about me being,,,, well me ha ha ha


so no i dont think drinking stella is cool


BUT DRINKING BLUE COLOURED DRINKS WHEN YOU MALE AND STRAIGHT IS DEFFO UNCOOL



also would be nice to take the missus out for a meal and her not feeling ashamed that im drinking pints when all the other civilised blokes are at a table drinking wine


you get what i mean i hope

You're going to "learn to drink" wine?

Wouldn't you much rather just be yourself?

Apparently, it is possible to drink a pint of Stella without bottling someone.

As said above though, who cares what others think!

Last year when I was walking round the good food show, I looked round the wine section as I wanted to get a decent bottle of white.

I looked at the one that won the #1 award and decided on a bottle.

Unsurprisingly they had sold out their whole stock within a few hours, so thought next time I was in supermarket I'd grab a bottle.

It was this bottle

Between 5-10 quid a bottle, but its fuckin lush

Got higher ratings than bottles that cost 5-6 times the price.
