I'm a mixture of red wine, gin and vodka :rolleyes:

though I'm off red wine atm, we have times where we just don't get on, so we separate for a while, it did once end in divorce :eek: but it only lasted a year and wine came back and apologised for making me so ill and we made up

we is currently separated again though :o

tee hee:D
 
I don't trust people who don't drink lots of red wine.

I suspect they may be involved in satanic rituals, and probably morris dancing too. :eek:

The Northern district of Goat sacrificers only drink chardonney:D
 
I used to get through a bottle and half every night of the red medicine, but I found the hangovers to be dire and it fucks with my skin something chronic. I have now whittled my way down to a glass a night, with the occasional 2 glasses. Obviously at the weekend = no work, so I can get through a bottle no problem - except that I have now reduced my tolerance (oh nooez) and end up really pissed on a bottle.

The hangovers on red are what made me stop drinking it. Far prefer a nice white these days. :)

Ah, but the only problem with white is that I chuck it down me neck like it's cordial, so end up with just as bad a hangover cos I've got through 2 bottles!!!
 
I love both red and white, but it depends what i am cooking as to which one i choose - red definately more in winter and white in the summer. Mmmmm, bugger, it's only 12.30! (only joking)
 
I'm drinking red wine now after being good all week:o Weirdly prefer sitting at home drinking and pootling to going out to pub
 
Red wine is the greatest, though i wish i could get the Romanian red that i drank on new years eve at Bees & Aqua's place.

Can only get it from Romania though, will pester my mate to bring more back :)

That's really not weird. There's nothing I love more than cracking open a bottle of good red, and spending time cooking, or rearranging my cds or books. S'lovely :)


(I'm also very jealous of you drinking in the daytime. In the WEEK! :mad: ) Decadent or wha?

I drink far more wine at home than anywhere else.

As a general rule:

Pub = beer
Cheap restaurant/pub meal = beer
Nice restaurant = wine
Home = wine
Cruising round the Med on luxury yacht = TBC

:cool:

Me too, mainly cos it's either shite, or overpriced in pubs

I once asked a barman in a shithole of a pub in the shithole St Helens what wine they had. His puzzled reply? 'errrr, red and white'


I went elsewhere

why did you even think of drinking wine in a pub, anyway? what about proper ale? philistine.

:eek: But white wine is the king of hangovers! Okay, red is no friend either if you've drunk enough of it, but white wine is like the devil's own acidic urine, burning away at stomach lining and cortex alike. I haven't had a red wine hangover for many years (thank heavens) despite drinking enough to drown a whale, whereas even a couple of glasses of white has resulted in a total skullfucker.

Anyway, I want some red wine now :mad: you bastard northernhoard, and I was going to have a night off the sauce as well. Mmmmmm, lovely velvety rich red song...

I can't believe that up to about 10 years ago I hated the stuff.

Funny innit? I'm the same. Like TA, I thought it all tasted like vinegar, but then someone told me to eat whilst drinking it, and voila! Suddenly it all made perfect sense, and tasted fine, and made the food taste even better. Win-win situation! These days I don't even need food :D (but do end up munching on crisps if I'm necking a bottle before I've made food)
