I used to be a proper pisspot
If it had an ABV I'd drink it
Now it's very rare that I touch alcohol
I'm not a reformed alcoholic, I'm not a tee totaller, it just doesn't interest me |

"Shocking punctuation have had a bottle of red wine maybe 15 years ago would of laughed at you drinking wine now a little older more sophisticated would rather drink wine than beer  "
Oh bless, you still didn't put in a single comma or full stop. It did read better this time though |

I think it's down to slight loss of ability to taste as we age so find things more palpable as we journey through life.
Current have a lovely Co-Op Shiraz out and enjoyed |

What are you trying to say haha I think maybe it was cheap plonk as a teenager turned by nose and erm stomach
My favourite is McGuigans Reserve Cabinet followed by the Merlot, tried quite a few the last couple of years just enjoying a Hardys Cabernet-Shiraz-Merlot, very fruity little number we will be having again.
Enjoy yours. |

Was always a red man but one day switched to whites. Then one day realised my fiver limit was not buying me good wine in any colour.
Plus it depends what you’ve eaten with it. A good red with pickled onion? No. A chilled white with a grilled tomahawk steak? Maybe, but not as good as a Malbec. |

"Love a good bottle of red.
Mrs - South American Malbec
Mr - Rioja"
I stumbled on a rather nice Malbec from Argentina on the 4 Winemakers label, imported by Co-op so only available at selected Co-op stores. |

Argentinian malbec, something full bodied... Delish.
I once tried a sparkling red.. Wasn't keen on the idea, but it was so tasty.. It was many years ago, think it was a banrock station.. Served chilled... Goes against everything you know about red.. But was pleasantly surprised. |

Not sure if I’ve had Hardys before but did a pick and mix of six and this was one of them, I really enjoyed it so will buy again, I tend to go for Cabernet or Merlot so figured the mix of them was worth a try |

Shiraz or Syrah are my favourites in the red department but equally I like the lighter Italian Chiantis - depends on my mood and whether I have it with food or on its own.
I went through a Malbec phase but gone off it now.
Partial to a very dry Riesling or Chablis as well.
Oh and I do not have my red at room temperature - that is based on medieval ages when room temperature was considerably cooler (around 14 to 16 degrees) than it is today. So my red is served at around 16 degrees.
Not a snob, but I have quite sensitive taste buds and wine is one of my guilty pleasures. |

They are dry, rich and concentrated.. They are delicious... Best rolled around the tongue and savoured, rather than glugged |

"... discovered that i actually like really good Italians!"
Mmmm me too, especially if he's tall dark and handsome... ;o)
On red wines tho... Lidl's Wine of the Week is a New Zealand Pinot Noir (£4.99), which is lovely and light. As expected as it is really a Burgundy... It's still a little too tannic so I'll keep the other bottles I've bought and maybe try it in a year's time... |
