I drink quite a lot of wine and have done for years now, I deal with wine merchants and always have around 30 or so bottles in my Cellar, well a purpose made cupboard. I'm more of a white wine drinker myself, but have the occasional red or rose'. I have wine from Australia, South Africa, Chile, Italy, Spain, Germany, USA and New Zealand. My favourites are Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Chablis, a nice rose' is Bomberosa

I developed a taste for it when I was wed to 'alf an Iti'.
I like white very dry -Soave, and red mild and fruity - Bardolino
At one time I used to brew my own from large cans of grape juice.
That was when you could buy cans with a particular grape type, but the EEC stopped that practice so the results got from home brewing became disappointing.
I had the 'understairs' full of wine racks - about 100 bottles

My favourite wine? "The silly sod's have closed the bar without serving last orders! Now what are we going to do?".

Almost all red wines are fine by me, especially the Australian and Californian ones. I like white, as long as it's dry, and I love champagne.

I am not a wine drinker, but I really like JPRoberts, which is more a champagne I think, a glass or two of that, maybe with an occasiona measure of peach archers is awsome!

What, no Canadian wine! May I recommend any one of the fine wines of Prince Edward county

I like red white and rose, all for different occasions. I like reds to be rich and full bodied, Barolo is lovely, needs to stand open for a good while though. Whites I like as an everyday wine, not a fan of Chardonnay though, like a Soave or anything slightly dry and very cold. Rose is ok , some are too sickly , Le Froglet one from M&S is nice though.

The only thing from Canada I've ever drank Eric was Canadian Club, in big copious amounts at one time may I add
