The middle class guide to drinking wine

[gavroche]

The real middle class people drink champagne for breakfast and never less than £100 a bottle red wine with their roast beef.

Little choice yes, but not quite no choice. The discerning Thunderbird drinker buys it from an offie that keeps the bum wines in a chiller, then the trick is to consume the bottle before it gets warm.

.. or wrap it in a cooler bag?

Wasn't that an actress and singer?

Someone tried to palm me off with wine that had one of those crap cork type things stuck in the neck......it can only be good if its got a proper screw top.

I was in Tesco looking at the wine a while ago (true story) and a woman asked me "can I recommend a good wine"?
I said "yes....anything that says 3 for £10.00".
Not sure if she took me serious

Or that classy Mateus Rose?

Must only be quaffed with Black Forrest Gatauex.

Didn't Black Tower have subtle hints of ethylene glycol at some stage in its illustrious history?

Surely that is upper class
I am slightly middle class and never pay more the £80 a bottle for my Champas......well maybe at weekend but never during the week.

The upper class don't actually know what their champas cost.

Upper class only drink champagne and 100 year old Cognac with desert.
I am only working class and proud of it so how should I know?

I think you'll find that the truly upper class have cognac for breakfast.

I like my White Lightening Cider tepid, straight from the bottle no messing about .

An old friend of mine, who has a slight drink problem, always removed the label from his White Lightening... that way he could forget what he was drinking and not feel quite so depressed about the quality of his liquor.

Like what as how I does.
