I did have the advantage of growing up in the right country for proper beer
And a father who was keen that I should acquire the taste for grown-up beer by the time I was grown up.

My father tried to teach me about wine
But they only drink the very old, very dry ones, which are awful for a first time. Now I don't like most red wines :(

try some rose
and some smooth reds like shiraz merlot blends etc... A young light red from a colder climate ie France will have slightly less alc than one from a hot climate so should be easier drinking

You're missing out.
I had a £30 Chateauneuf de Pape at dinner on Tuesday that was so tasty it was all I could to not to start speaking in tongues and masturbating.

I must confess I wasn't keen on Rioja the first time I tried it - I thought it was more than a little 'old-sock-y'.

I got given a box of 12 of that when I left my recruitment job. Still sat at home.
I am not a fan of wine.

If it's the former I'll give you a oner for it.

It's my birthday on the 30th

Surely your 37th isn't a sufficiently special birthday to warrant such a gift?

That would be wonderful, I cannot lie.

Can't drink it in the pub mind
you will have to chin it outside or dungeon home early to drink it.
