Red or White

[Ian]

Red wine. Blossom Hill is the best, I've found.

Then you've not been looking hard enough! Blossom Hill is repulsive. It's crisp, but far too apply and sugary. As a general rule of thumb, if it's less than £6 a bottle, it's rank.

I feel like I'm going to wretch when I drink wine. But I feel it may come with age.

Precisely why I like it! I've not bothered buying any of the expensive wines yet. Any recommendations, Ian?

It will. I never liked it in my early 20's, but now it's my first choice (when drinking in a house). Beer will remain top choice in a pub.

Any recommendations, Ian?

As a rule of thumb, stay French. Preferably a claret or merlot, from the Bordeaux region. The grapes in that region are the fruitiest, you're more-or-less guaranteed to get a nice soft taste, without the tart.

stay French

Well, at least it's not German!

We have loads of wine in the hallway on a rack of awesomeness - based on that, the parents prefer Italian...

But seriously,

I feel like I'm going to wretch when I drink wine. But I feel it may come with age.

That was my experience as well.
Why-ne.

I got told at work the other day wine taste is acquired at 28. Four more years and we'll ****ing see.

Rose, then red, then white, but I do prefer beers anyway, actually depends what mood I want to achieve :lol:

White, served in a pint glass.
