Yeah, it's as if savouring the booze mitigates the alcoholism
I dont subscribe to the theory that certain foods should only be eaten with white or red. I love me grub and can whip up a decent meal.

In fact, all of the above are reds.

Truly great whites can mostly be found in the ocean (ba-doom tish!) but on a hot day, an icy cold white rioja is yer only man and the white 'Chateauneuf Du Pape' is something to be experienced. I cant stand sweet stuff.

Further to above, the Aussies are rip-off bastards and charge a fortune (maybe it's the importation costs) for stuff which you can buy from France for cheaper that tastes better.

The Germans are philistines when it comes to vine growing.

Grenache and Garnacha are the same.

As is Shiraz and Syrah (both of which if unblended can be decent).
