It’s one of my favourites but the price for the good ones is prohibitive for me. I had a 1986 on the shelf for years that I was saving for a special occasion. Eventually drank it and it was superb so I thought I’d replace it. Sadly I’m not willing or able to spend £150+ on a single bottle.

Got speaking to this elderly Irish gent on holiday 3 weeks ago.

Auld Reekin' Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) In my opinion, Portuguese reds are hard to beat and good value, and there are also superb ones from various Spanish regions (including ones in the NW, such as Cigales and El Bierzo, as well as the usual suspects), Sicily & Puglia, and some of the southern French regions. Portuguese rosés are shite though: Spain's yer man for them. I quite enjoy a white wine now and then, especially some of the more distinctive ones like Albariño and Verdejo. Whites and rosés tend to give me heartburn these days, however... Edited November 19, 2021 by Auld Reekin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are of course correct. 👍 Red for me, my favourites being Rioja, Barolo or Cotes du Rhône. The denser and heavier, the better, so nothing less than 13.5% ABV. A freezing cold Rose in the hot summer nights is perfect. Our rule of thumb for white is - ABC - Anything but Chardonnay. We hardly touch white but always keep a good one in the fridge for cooking with. Needless to say, what doesn’t go into the food goes down our throats!

JudyJudyJudy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I prefer dry white wine. I don't really drink red wine. I like sauvignon blanc or chardonnay. I only drink it in the house as it gets far too drunk if i drink it on a night out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old Chardonnay gets a bad rep due to it becoming prolific I mass produced wines. But Chablis is a Chardonnay and the grape is a major part of champagne production.

The Mighty Thor Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 There's not many I won't drink tbh. Pinotage, Zinfandel, Dao, viognier amarone, pretty much any of them.

Sooperstar Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Normally a Malbec but the wife doesn't like red so it's rare I drink it in the house. We have been enjoying a Sancerre of late.
