Re: Red, white or pink?

I love wine but I can't say one colour or another. Each has its moment. A really cold, crisp white is lovely with fish/chicken or on a hot sunny day. Rose again on a hot day or as an easy drinking wine in front of the telly. Red wines for when I want something with bite or with a nice piece of meat(duck/steak)

Favourite wine has to be between Chateau Neuf du Pape or a good St Emilion. I was lucky enough to try a vintage Margaux a few years ago(£45 bottle wholesale!) and it was awesome but I can't justify that much on one bottle. A nice bottle of Beaujolais Villages kept really cold and drunk long with plenty of ice is cracking on a sunny day
Whites are chablis/muscadet/soave. I can't stand medium or sweet wines. You will NEVER find a bottle of Libfraumilch in my house!
Rose are a nice compromise, I do tend to prefer the darker rose and I'm looking for a blackcurrent/berry type flavour in them. sort of alcy fruit juice

We tend to buy from the Wine Warehouse mail order but I'm just ordering a case from Laithwaites that was advertised in the paper. Its a nice dozen selection with C-NdP and ST E, Chablis and other good robust wines for £60
