Me, got myself a couple of bottles of wine. Its called The Dogs B****ks. Great bottle of white at 11% and cost £1 from France.

If i cant get hold of that i prefer the German wines (Hock, Liefraumulch, spelling prob not correct).

Come of fess up, lets see who are the Christmas snobs on here

OK, I know I will be slated but.....a glass of Asti for me.....not much on wine......and I couldn't drink a red wine to save my life.....it tastes like it should be sprinkled on chips. I am told that I have a very 'juvenile' palate.....that means I should only be allowed to drink 7UP.

I'm the driver on Christmas day so I won't be drinking.

Hopefully the beer won't still be in my blood from the meet at the Stag on Friday night.

I'm very flexible as far as my Christmas drinking is concerned, In fact although I usually end up not remembering what it was that I drank I always have a feeling of enjoyment whenever I wake up on boxing day,

NO MATTER WHICH GUTTER I MIGHT BE IN AT THE TIME!

I’ve done that a few times in my youth. How I ever got in to that state I’ll never know. I once woke up in a field of cows, another time a park and once in the middle of the road when I dragged back into the gutter by a rather angry looking policeman…..We don't have parties like that these days.....

I really love wine and recently, have been drinking wines from New Zealand. Their Sauvignon Blancs are really good and their Pinot Noirs the best I have tasted in a long time.

I will be drinking my bacardi and coke.
I cant stand wine.
But I do like the odd glass of bubbly.
The good stuff were the bubbles tickle your nose.

New Zealand wines are generally superb, as are the Aussie wines. I will be going for a nice glass of Aussie Shiraz (after work, of course).

Is hat you becoming a secret wino or expert?

Gayle · 21-12-2005, 20:57

Probably start off with a Bucks Fizz around 1ish then move on to wine for the meal and possibly a lager later on.
