I've found a really good Pinot Noir for £12.

I refuse to spend that much on wine
because I'm only going to spill the third bottle.

learn to drink properly then

I can drink fine
I just kick it over when I'm pissed. I am lucky to have solid wood floors

You have to layer it. First bottle of red is the dearest
reducing in value the more you drink. If you move onto white. Same, same.

I like white.
good white, anyway.

Burgundy?
Majestic have got 20% off Spanish wine at the mo and do a good line in Albarinho.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 12:20, Reply)

I like a bit of Albarinho
I picked up a lovely Italian white the other day. Greco, Fiano and Falanghina aged in oak. Tidy.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 12:24, Reply)

I got the Falanghina.
Nice drop.

There are treatments for that these days, you know

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 12:31, Reply)

As do I
but I cannot get excited about it like I can a top-end red.

My old boy is obsessed with Alsace wines, which I just cannot get a bone-on about, and I really have tried.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 12:24, Reply)

Quite so.
This was my father's technique when he ran the Winchester College Wince Society.

They had a huge budget and would buy one white and one red at £500 each, one of each at a couple of hundred and then loads of cheap(er) ones. Happy days for the boy sneaking in at 1am loaded on LSD, minesweeping in the dining room before retiring.

I like the idea of a Wince Society
I could sit in the corner and cringe.

I bet they winced at £500 each.

Small change to these poshos, I suspect.

Hmm. My local Waitrose sell that
I'll have to see how much they do it for.

Interesting Majestic fact, wine-pickers. Alex Salmond and his cronies have forced through the "no cheap buy two bottles for a tenner" on booze in Scotland. The only way they could do it legally was to ban all multi-buy deals, therefore Majestic in Scotland now have to sell wine by the single bottle for the same price rather than by the mixed case. But for the mixed case price. Minor score.

Still not worth going to Scotland for it.

It is a fucking brilliant place to live.

Does he drink it or horde it?

Bit of both,

I imagine he's more likely to hoard it.

I can't abide the hording. Lay it down, yes.
