I can drink fine

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.

Burgundy?
Majestic have got 20% off Spanish wine at the mo and do a good line in Albarinho.

I like a bit of Albarinho
I picked up a lovely Italian white the other day. Greco, Fiano and Falanghina aged in oak. Tidy.

Nice drop.

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.

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.
