Without a word of a lie I think I've got some left at home that's been in the bottles for about 18 months that I made with grapes grown in Horwich, might be another thing for the Gardener's Club veggy/fruit section?

Lovely stuff is pear. Luckily, there are Damson trees all over the place where I am. Been testing them for ripeness every day, found some more today and they're perfect for picking. Will be raiding the locals' bushes tomorrow! Quote

Spider Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Brought a load of stuff back from Bordeaux today. Just finishing a St Emilion that cost £4 and tastes like ten times that. Tried too many to even remember, but would recommend a wine tour for any gout enthusiasts. You can get leathered for nowt (need a driver) Quote
L/H White Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Into my 3rd bottle of pinot noir, lovely drop from aldi Quote

MancWanderer Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Aldi do a very nice Malbec in a bag. About £10 for 2 bottles worth. Dangerous as you’ve no idea how much you’ve drunk. Caught me out a few times Quote

Just tasted a drop, seems decent enough for £5.50 Quote

MickyD Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Do you ever get one of those reds that are so dry they're difficult to drink? Talking to an Italian about it and apparently they get loads of Italian reds just like that. Adding half an egg cup of water to a decent sized glass is an instant cure for unpalatable reds. Quote

Heavy on the tannins. Elderberry skins are very heavy in this way, and wine including them is better for being laid down a few years prior to drinking. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Damson on. Blackberry next. Sod grapes. Quote

Winchester White Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Coop sell a Rioja for just 6 quid a bottle that is good value. Quote

Coop have campo viejo for 6.75 or something at the moment which is amazing. With staff discount and membership points accrued throughout the year I was able to buy £107 worth of booze and food without handing over a penny. Winning! Quote
L/H White Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 think I've mentioned on here before, but Tim Adams from Tesco a £10 a go is delightful Quote
