Dr Gloom 2,799 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Gloom 2,799 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Medicinal anyway innit, red wine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Park Life 68 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGingerQuiff 1,581 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Cheese, tomato and a diced chilli on a cracker. Malbec or a good Merlot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish 647 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Only really enjoy red wine as an accompaniment to food these days, but a good red wine really improves a dish. Agree with Dr Gloom's suggestions. Quote 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wykikitoon 1,007 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Went to a tapas a couple of weeks ago and had a cracking Montepulciano.A nice crisp white on a summers evening is good on its own. But whenever I am eating out, it's usually always a red I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
