Re: Wine snobbery

My late father in law used to buy a bottle of Penfolds red wine every Friday night on his way home from work...he lived in Oz at the time....he said it was lovely....just like Vimto he said.
Now I have never found a red wine that I liked(have to admit to not having looked that hard).
I spotted a Penfolds bottle in a wine merchants in Southport....I bought it thinking of what my father in law said about it.

All I can say is....he must have been drinking different Vimto to me....it was ‘orrfible’.....I have never tasted drain cleaner, but that was what I imagined it tasted like.
I think it was Penfolds Bin1....it tasted like Penfolds Bin had
