Do you know anything about wine
 

i have been out buying a couple of bottles of red wine for someone has a chrismas gift thankyou.
i dont drink so i have no idea what to look for, i brought two expensive ones, thinking they have to be half decent,if they cost more.
whats your knowlege of wine or do you just drink anything?

Well, you've already bought them so it would be pointless giving any advice

Can't argue with that logic.

Hopefully you chose a Côtes du Rhône Villages AOC OR

a Côte de Beaune

If you didn't, TOUGH!

I wish I cared enough to be educated about wine but I just don't

It makes you pissed.

And seriously affects your use of the English language. So be warned.

Still sulking because an Irishman has a better grasp of grammar than you?

I have no idea about wine. I don't really drink and when I do it's a bottle of Bud.

Cultured, I am not.

I don't know anything about wine, although I only tried alcohol a few times in August and couldn't really swallow most of it. This is the only one I could drink and I had one glass of it, not sure if it's wine. :sad:

It's port, which is fortified wine. Blow your head off if you're not use to drink.

:suspect: I had a glass of it and it was my first time drinking alcohol, but it did nothing to me.

Sorry, you'll have to repeat that. All I got was "Top o' the morning" and then something about leprechauns? :conf:

Sore loser.

Well it's 19% alcohol by volume, (ABV), which is about 8% more than most wines, and 4 to 5 times stronger than most beers. Depends how big the glass, but it's about half the strength of hard liquor.

:shocked: But it tasted so lovely! I tried the port Rosé at first and it was too strong.

I loved sherry when I was a toddler. Use to get off my tits visiting granny every Sunday. Sherry's a lot like port, but sweeter.

nope ut i drank some tnoight

The one thing I do know about wine is it nearly killed me! :joker:

Do not drink it because you will get herpes

..or crabs, yeah we know what you were doing last summer, Zee...whino..:bored:...

I was not asking for myself!, its was a general question about members knowledge of wine.

I hope you are the same colour as claret, with shame.

Sorry, I have to disappoint you about the shame bit!

As you can see above, there is no knowledge base to be tapped here.

Ahem...
I do know that decanting red wine improves it, but it's down to personal taste isn't it?
Sainsburys champagne is better than moet if that helps?
