Dr Gloom 4,073 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Gloom 4,073 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Medicinal anyway innit, red wine? 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. Link to post Share on other sites
TheGingerQuiff 2,262 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 Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish 1,227 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. Link to post Share on other sites

ewerk 8,319 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) My dad reckons that Asda have it on offer now and again for £8. He normally stocks up when it's on. Edited May 5, 2017 by ewerk 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 Link to post Share on other sites
wykikitoon 1,511 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. Link to post Share on other sites
