Ginge !

missus sent me out on another fooking mission as i wanted a few more beers


anyway she says get her some wine



just realised shes always there or she buys it when shopping


in went in to the off licence and collect me stellas and then ask for white wine







3 fooking walls of the stuff , what the fook do ya buy


i know fook all about it, though there would be 5 bottles of the stuff, some red some white



anyone else as think as me , spirits and beers i know about wine i cant drink as it tastes nasty , never learned about it



in the end i bought a first bottle of chardonay as i remember the word relates to wine


how are ya ment to buy the stuff when it all looks the same


maybe a wine guide should be a law


am i the only stupid uneducated one or are there others


i cant be the only one

i know fook all about wine too

shite stuff

Jim Galbally

ok 6 kinds (i think)

red/white

still/sparking

sweet/dry

one you know you want for example a sweet white wine then you judge the quality by howmuch the botle costs a 2.99 bottle will taste like "normal" wine, a 6.99 bottle will taste like "posh" wine. anything costing more than about Ł10 per bottle, ignore it... on Ł per %vol its just not worth it... might aswell get some white lighting

Chardonnay is almost a dead cert, but it must be UNOAKED (or a headache will be almost a certainty).

It's flavour appeals to most White Wine Drinkers.

Alternatively a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

LOL, for a non-drinker, I almost sound like I know what I am talking about.

Oh yes, you MUST spend over a fiver. Good wine really cannot be bought for any less.

Jim Galbally

just look at all the bottle n pick the one with the highest %vol on it

Ginge !

there was that on a few labels aswell

infact alot of other blonc's too


i must have looked a right tool buying em, grabbed a case of stella from the fridge and then had to ask aboiut what wine was

Ginge !

well shes almost doen the bottle, in a hour too


must be a good choice, not sure what it cost though, there was soooooo many



i was gonna get that biannca stuff that all the slappers drink, but then i recon me missus would have sent me back to the shop to buy more wine

depends where you buying from. i really dont see the point in buying bottles over 10quid from your local off-license as they are normally crap. buying from specialised wine dealers is a different matter but if you are a customer to one of these then it notmally means you half way to alcoholism!

i only normally drink red wine so dont know much about white - normally as a rule if you stick to french wines then you cant go far wrong!

and with white wine ive found the more you drink the better it becomes!

Ginge !

yeah like when i first drank lager , 6 month aprecticeship with stella and the toilet on friday nights, no thanks with wine


besides ill look a right fruit drinking wine in the pub



i cant belive theres soooooooooooo much choice in wine , its only grapes

Steve200+

There's loads of stuff, I'd go with an Australian Chardonnay if in doubt, never known anyone turn their nose up at one.

Ginge !

i just remebered that iw as told that chillie wine is best as french wine had a disese a few hundrd years ago and they had to grow the vines again and so they aint as fresh



but then i could be talking bollocks as it tastes like vinger to me

Ginge !

is that the jacoob creek


yes i watch friends

Steve200+

Not quite what I had in mind

Ginge !

well shes on her second bottle now


think shes got a alcohol issue

Steve200+

But it's Christmas!!!

(That's the excuse I've been using for drinking since 2pm )

mattbibs

i didnt mean drink it in pubs! now that is

i meant the more you drink in one night (more pissed) the better it tastes!!

Ginge !

thats the excuse i been using for 3 months

Ginge !

yeah i didnt fancy on st georges day when im in the legion with me pals who some i aint seen for ages ask what im drinking and i say a nice sweet red chardonay from 1979 period


some how i dont think ill be allowed back in again

Steve200+

Excellent

I'm off to the pub, see if I can make life interesting in there again (last night's disarming techniques demonstrated on passing members of the public descended into a blatent brawl after twenty minutes )

RichardPON

Absolute rubiish!

You've just got to know where to get the good edeals..............

For women, the most popular I've found is something quite fruity - never go too dry on white..........

Blossom Hill/Jacobs Creek etc - very easy bottle to drink.

Red - well I live on the stuff - just got in from the pub, and the bottle of Isla Negra is well and truly being drunk!

Don't get me wriong - I love a pint, but wine is sooo drinkable!

By the way, I'm fooked

st3v3

a nice South African red or an Argentina Mendoza

failing that,more Stella

and here the reason why i drink red wine especially when im trying to blag it with the missus why im drinking again

morcheen

try blue nun or good old toe jam

Chipperx2

bought a 15 quid bottle of chardonnay for my coz for his b'day, he likes wine, I like it sometimes, prefere red Barolo

big_wig_074

paul masson,no matter the`colour,always good!!!!or buy new world wine highest % the better

frog

awww, ginge... here's what I know...

Right, chardonnay, merlot, sauvignon, etc... are all different kinds of grapes, so a sauvignon wine from australia and one from france are basically made from the same grape variety.
Each of these varieties have their own distinctive tastes, flavours, etc...

Next, the soil has a big part to play, the same grape variety grown in two different soils will result in a different tasting wine.

Third, wheather conditions throughout the year will affect the quality of the grape and hence the wine it is made from.

Fourth, some wines are left to mature naturally, that is the grape sugars and stuff that's on the skin is responsible for the fermenting in a natural process, resulting in a wine that tastes different every year. Hence why there are good and bad years for wine.
Other wine producers on the other hand clean the grapes to death, then add their own mixture of sugars and additives to create a similar taste year on year.

So, you have a great big mess in front of you cos' there are too many variables, but, if you try different wines over time, making a note of where they are from (e.g. who actually made it, not just the country it comes from), what kind of grape it is made from (sometimes it's a blend of different ones), and how it tasted like, etc... then you stand a pretty good chance of being able to pick a wine that's to your liking next time you need it.

Hope this helps.

PS: Jim Galbally forgot "rose" in his list. Usually very nice cold - drinks easily.

Biggest myth ever: White wine for white meat, red wine for red meat - bollocks.

Ginge !

yeah i know as stella is a good all rounder
