red or white?

[alecstilleyedye]

seeing as we have a champaign thread, it seems a poll of wine drinking habits is in order.

so who's red, and who's white?

 

[Aperitif]

Just finished a bottle of Casa Ferreirinha 'Callabriga' 1999 Douro... present from work.
Absolutely top. From Portugal. No idea how much it costs to buy but it was a very satisfying taste. Try a bottle if you can - you red slurpers out there!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Red. Usually the really robust ones. But I'm really more of a beer man.

 

[Abitrary]

White.

Red's simply too expensive in this country

 

[alecstilleyedye]

have you not tried buckie?

 

[gavintc]

One of the girls at work keeps a bottle of buckie on her desk as a bit of a talking point - she won it in a raffle. Her clients, mostly English, find it amusing and a good ice breaker. a I had a small measure recently. It was awful, you would really need to be desperate to drink it.

 

[simon l& and a half]

pink

 

[simonali]

I only really like Spanish reds (I like the Torres one with the little plastic cow on it), so I guess that makes me more of a white type. Pink does seem to be very en vogue at the mo and there are some nice ones about.

 

[Speicher]

Rosé, please.

Slightly chilled.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

rosé option added to poll, with a vote each for simon1 & a half and speicher.

 

[sloe]

Blanco and soda water. Much kinder on the liver. There's a name for it.

But the cheapest supermarket plonk here is crap. But in France......ooohlala!! It rediscovered my sex-life.

 

[Keith Oates]

I'm also not a big wine drinker but when I do it's normally RED

 

[Speicher]

rosé option added to poll, with a vote each for simon1 & a half and speicher.

I did not realise that you were going to add in my preference, I have just voted for rosé, so you will need to deduct one vote, sorry.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

no probs speicher, 'tis done. no required on your part.

 

[Speicher]

no probs speicher, 'tis done. no required on your part.

As well as slightly embarrassed, that was supposed to hint at a flushed face, due to consumption of aforesaid "Rosy" wine - rosy cheeks ?
Oh dear, I must try to more direct in my responses.
