Re: Red, white or pink?
i have had half a bottle of a nice cabernet- syrah ( red) with my evening meal ...... then was summoned to the stag .......went on low c ...... but i do like a nice white wine too dryish but slightly fruity.

Re: Red, white or pink?
I love wine but I can't say one colour or another. Each has its moment. A really cold, crisp white is lovely with fish/chicken or on a hot sunny day. Rose again on a hot day or as an easy drinking wine in front of the telly. Red wines for when I want something with bite or with a nice piece of meat(duck/steak)
Favourite wine has to be between Chateau Neuf du Pape or a good St Emilion. I was lucky enough to try a vintage Margaux a few years ago(£45 bottle wholesale!) and it was awesome but I can't justify that much on one bottle. A nice bottle of Beaujolais Villages kept really cold and drunk long with plenty of ice is cracking on a sunny day Whites are chablis/muscadet/soave. I can't stand medium or sweet wines. You will NEVER find a bottle of Libfraumilch in my house! Rose are a nice compromise, I do tend to prefer the darker rose and I'm looking for a blackcurrent/berry type flavour in them. sort of alcy fruit juice  We tend to buy from the Wine Warehouse mail order but I'm just ordering a case from Laithwaites that was advertised in the paper. Its a nice dozen selection with C-NdP and ST E, Chablis and other good robust wines for £60 |

Re: Red, white or pink?
I like a drink, though when its win it always has to be red! White always gives me a headache and the "pink" stuff always tastes like something of the pop man!
Though given the choice I would prefer a Whiskey! |

Re: Red, white or pink?
Prefer red wine, because white wine has to be expensive to taste good. I do admit to a strong partiality for champagne. I loathe sweet wine of any kind - my absolute nightmare is to be forced to drink Lambrusco (especially red Lambrusco). We get most of our wine from Laithwaites, a bit more expensive than the supermarket, but really good value, also it beats carrying it home. Must admit to getting through rather a lot of it, though .... hic.
