The satisfying 'pop' of a cork withdrawn from a good bottle of French red
(Go on, strike it through, you know you want to.)

Alt: Statistics suggest it will be shite. I've seen several of the films tipped as the "best of British comedy" over the last few years and most of them have been the turgid cockwash of your bog-standard almost-family-friendly American "comedy," just done with fucking British accents. If it has the faintest whiff of Richard Curtis about it, I would advise avoiding it like airborne gonorhoea.

Alt alt: See first answer.

Alt alt alt: Whatever I could find that was CHEAP, because I am POOR. No good bottles of French red for me.

urgh
red wine mings!

South African red wine mings, granted
And North American reds should be approached with caution. But there's a real delight to a decent* bottle of French or Italian. That is, assuming you can get the taste for the stuff in the first place.


*_{I stress the word 'decent,' there are some real howlers out there}

I'm sorry but you're wrong
Rioja is clearly the only way to go. Cabernet Sauvignon at a push, and Merlot can just fuck off.

Yeah, I can't speak for Quinten's taste, but to be fair, you are having this debate
with someone who likes his wine heavy and tannic, beer that tastes like charcoal and whisky that tastes like raw peat. "Warm and vinegary" sounds positively appealing to me.

you and i have very different taste, it's safe to say.

sigh
i was implying that some people who have been away have been carrying out so many vanity searches that they have crashed the search facility.

a stupid throwaway remark that reeeeeally doesn't stand up to any analysis.
