Dr Gloom 1,957 Report post Posted May 4, 2017 Pinot noir from burgundy is my tipple. Though some of the new world stuff is really good too. I also enjoy a punchy Malbec with some strong cheese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Park Life 68 Report post Posted May 4, 2017 Medicinal anyway innit, red wine? Get yourself on the resveratrol. The active ingredient in red wine. Can't beat a bit of red wine and cheese. I normally have some apple slices as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I know, I just meant if I'm going to have a drink it'll more likely be a beer, a cider or a white wine. Or if it's the summer it's Pimms o'clock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
