Red, white or pink?
 

So what's your favourite wine?

I've just caught on to the delights of a good Pinot Grigio but used to be a Chardonnay girl!

Never, ever touch red because it gives me a headache!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Red. Though chaep red plonk makes your teeth purple.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Does it also affect your typing skills? lol

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Lol, looks like it did.^

Which means I perhaps should have had a drink tonight!

Don't pick on the shakey, one handed typist though. You don't want to loose the disabled vote.;)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Wouldn't dream of picking on anyone. Shush, Less didn't hear me say that did he?

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Wolfblass Chardonnay ..... mmmmmm lovely :D

considering ive just got in from a nite out and i am irish , i would take anything at the moment ...but i say theres nothing like a good suck of liebfraumilch for white wine,goes great with turkey at christmas ,and red i like a nice tempranillo from stowells a good all rounder ,gets the juices flowing ..hope this comes out alrite i can hardely see

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

cant stand wine and the worst thing that can happen in the way of drinks is if at a party some wanna be wine expert brings out their home made wine made from onion skins or somthing else that should have realy been put straight into the bin

well our chav im dissapointed i thought maybe there was irish blood pumping through your veins ...the best thing to do when the finest vintage gets offered to you at a party is grab that bad boy by the neck and sink it in one....

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I'm a big fan of Spanish Rioja. Obviously being from the family that I am, I can and will drink any and all wine, but my preference is Red.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Can't drink wine, one glass gives me a migraine. Budweiser has the same effect even though I have Irish blood in me :)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I only drink Chilean Red I seem to have developed a liking for it and never was a wine fan until a few years ago. Wonder if age has anything to do with it.:confused: :confused:

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

why spuggie i do belive you're comparing yourself to wine here ..and what happens to wine when it gets older???

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Depends on wether it has been opened or not. :D
Think as I am getting older my tastes are changing either that or I am mellowing.
:confused:

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

i like peasporter best ...or leibfremilch (cant spell it )
i like white wine with anything ,though you are supposed to have red with red meat.................
on the aurora there was a red wine called california blush ,it was lovely ,but i havent seen it since..

My favorite whine is about people that whisper in public thinking I can't lip read!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I love red wine. My favourites are Wolfblass yellow label, Eaglehawk. Rosemount is excellent, as is Lindeman's. I love a nice Shiraz but also like Merlot. I used to be strictly a white wine girl but have seriously gone off it....:D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

And I thought I was safe in a thread that had an air of sophistication - but no, you found me anyway! lol

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

It was that tantalising aroma of alcohol that drew me to this thread!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

here grannyclaret we,might be able to get you sorted with that wine ..
i dont belive california blush to be a brand name ,just more of a group name for what you were drinking..americans call blush,what we call rose and ,if you look in your local offies for, ernst & jullio gallo or blosom hill im sure you will find a taste, that would remind you of your wonderfull cruise ..i think also it goe's by the name of zindafel sooo get tasting..

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I quite like rose wine but I would never think to buy a bottle or order it when out. Tend to stick to what I know!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

wow thanks for that geoff,, i will look out for it nowhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_50_4.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_4_14.gif...

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Granny you aint becoming a wino are you. ;)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Hey gayle,poll will only let you choose one colour, can I go back and vote again, will drink any colour of wine....:D been trained well by the golfing mates, a visit to a supermarket abroad and find the cheapest you can,but you have to drink it, the record at the moment is 1.2euro.
A nice dry white, or a full red, don't matter what the price is, if it tasts good to you, then it is good.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

errrrmim as jober as a sudge ,hic hic http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_2_60.gif

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Never met a sobe rjudge so will take your word for it. ;)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

better a jober sudge ,than a snue gliffer ,i say

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I'm an ewww cant stand wine person.
At best it reminds me of cough mixture.
I dont mind the odd glass of bubbly now and again.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Def a red wine girl.... and have to agree with Roy regarding the spanish rioja. If you get a good crianza mix then you can't beat it, Mmmmmm. also am pretty fond of an australian shiraz too

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I would expect no more from a Blackburner drinking 80p bottles of wine :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

i have had half a bottle of a nice cabernet- syrah ( red) with my evening meal ...... then was summoned to the stag .......went on low c ...... but i do like a nice white wine too dryish but slightly fruity.

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

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

got to be a nice rioja red.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Casa La Joya Merlot. Need to get my mits on some for crimbo. :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I like a drink, though when its win it always has to be red! White always gives me a headache and the "pink" stuff always tastes like something of the pop man!

Though given the choice I would prefer a Whiskey!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Blended or Malt Wolfie?

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Malt, I quite like Genmorangie and Glenfidich. I would try other malts but unfortunatly my wallet will not let me do so at the minute!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

If it stretches then Glenkinchie Craggenmore Talisker Oban Dalwinnie or Lagavulin.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Ah well in that case I will have a pop to the shops when I finish my bottle!

I only go through one a week so I will give them a look in at the weekend!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Prefer red wine, because white wine has to be expensive to taste good. I do admit to a strong partiality for champagne. I loathe sweet wine of any kind - my absolute nightmare is to be forced to drink Lambrusco (especially red Lambrusco). We get most of our wine from Laithwaites, a bit more expensive than the supermarket, but really good value, also it beats carrying it home. Must admit to getting through rather a lot of it, though .... hic.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

i much prefer a nice bottle of wine to champagne....,must be something wrong with me..

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

erm, Granny Champange is white wine with a bit of fizz!

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

at half the cost.....i cant do with it getting up my nose either

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

You not in to the liquid claret then Granny?

Re: Red, white or pink?

Re: Red, white or pink?

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Now that is getting into the spirit of things. :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

good job were back in time.:D :D :D :D :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

:) HELLOOOOOOOOOOO Cashy welcome back :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I too don't 'like' champers. Give me a still wine any day

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I can drink Champers (if there's nowt else), but I always think Champers smells farty.......it put's me off.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Lettie that is one hell of a discription for Frances finest export always thought it smelled better than it tasted.

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Are you one of the odd balls that likes the smell of you own fart spug?:D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

No my ofactery nerve must be shot due to the refinery reek here. :p

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

thanks geoff70...i found a three litre box of califonia blush in morrisons today...yipee i can now enjoy it once again at christmas... :engsmil:

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

well i like a good red but as it has an adverse effect on me (it makes me do silly things) can only have 2 glasses.

dont mind a nice dry(ish) white well chilled and champers can take or leave

hmmmmmmmmmmm nowt in fridge or wine rack need to shop soon

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

I like a nice deep Australian Red; I’m currently working my way through my Christmas stock of Jacob’s Creek “Grenache Shiraz” 2004. I started stocking up at the beginning of December, around the same time as I started Drinking it……….:D :D :D

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Will there be any left by christmas day? ;)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Thats a bit mean for the festive season. :(

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

A fine whiskey is good for the blood well thats my excuse. As for the wine I aquired the taste when the company was paying for a jolly. :)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Try a glass of Graham's "The Tawny" Port. Well worth the £14 quid a bottle. Nice with a little dry cured ham and crumbly cheese, or better still drunk slowly in peace and quite..........

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Never been able to stomach port or sherry it does not agree with me. :(

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

The finest being the Islay malts, in my opinion. Nothing beats a few drams of Laphroaig, with Ardbeg coming a close second

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

Now here is someone who likes a good malt. Dalwhinnie is my preference so there are two of the six classic malts for starters. :)

Re: Red, white or pink?
 

White or Red, never Pink.
