Defo a red wine kinda day.

Love red wine, malbec, pinot noir, rioja, nerrello, baralo would be the go tos but choice and value on supermarkets is very good now and usually something decent on offer.
Wine takes me to places that beer doesnt, find it a much mellower drunkenness.

Wine > beer.

My gf has been in Laithwates wine club for years. She buys a case of a dozen bottles which work out similar to the price of a decent supermarket wine per bottle. Difference is Laithwates source their wines from small independent vineyards that grow organic grapes without adding extra sulphites in winemaking to preserve shelf life as mass produced winemakers do. She says many supermarket give her headaches. I wouldn't know the difference but she does.

Red. Don't let women drink white either. Fighting gear. Their Stella.

Can’t beat a New Zealand Marlborough Sauv Blanc when the weather is nice. I’m just finishing a glass of Oyster Bay as I write, decent enough tipple.

Prefer red wine in the winter.

Strangely, I always say that when I go in one.

There is some real snobbery in the wine world.

My rule of thumb is find a red, reduced to £5/£6 which is around 13.5% and see where you go!!

I've discovered that my personal choice is an Argentinian Malbec, or a Cabernet Sauvingnon from Chile or Australia - Warwick Lady from Morrisons is a real favourite of mine.

As a previous poster stated, the drunk feeling on wine far outweighs the drunk feeling from beer.

I love when I'm drinking a decent bottle and two thirds of the way through I get the "everything in the world is alright" kind of mellow feeling!!

A friend of mine used to get headaches from wine drinking but you can buy these drops that you can add to the wine and hey presto no headaches, I think the drops deactivate the sulphates, just a heads up about that.
