Jimbo 133 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Cannot go wrong with a bottle of Buckfast tbh.. The choice of the discerning alcoholic, Buckfast is right up there with brake fluid and meths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieshandy 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 There's a few places where you can get Champagne with a personalised label. Did this for me brother and his lass for their wedding. http://www.nextdaychampagne.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Proper Champagne is rank like. I remember for years having cheapy, shitty Cava and being fobbed off that it was Champagne and the first time I had the proper stuff, I hated it... Far too dry.

Although I like Brut Champagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 As Jimbo said earlier, one man's Grand Cru is another man's vinegar. I remember being quite disappointed when I didn't like the taste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a name like that, it sounds like the sort of stuff that's pleasant on the throat but rots your guts the next morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaja is a winemaker who produces Barolos amongst others... Never said they weren't? Are you sure about this? Otherwise your statements is a bit meaningless isn't it. Of what use is a quantitative comparison between a single winemaker and a certain wine in general? A bit like: Have you ever eaten at McDonald's? A couple of times, not as much as I've had burgers though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
