I tend to either drink lager these days, or the odd pint of real ale!...But sup more wine at home!

To be quite honest Taggy, It doesn't bother me about going out or even drinking beer these days, I've had a case of Stella in he cupboard since xmas an have a few cans of Murphy's in the fridge, but i never crosses my mind to open on, its the cork screw for me

Funny enough I've started doing that, for many years I dealt with Laithwaites, and Premier wines of Preston, but you can pick some nice wines up at both ASDA and Tesco, and Joan sometimes gets a few bottles from, I think its Lidel which are quite good too

Yep Supermarkets have certainly upped their game with the variety and quality of wines these days, even Sainsburys and Booths have some good offers on at times too! I've not tried lidl yet Jaysay, but sometimes get a few decent bottles from Aldi and even B&M Bargains too at damn good prices!
