What is it?

Got to admire her for trying to improve you.

Mrs B has been trying to improve me for years without success.

Mrs P feels Mrs B’s pain.

Never ever have I attended a party where people whilst drinking wine seriously said “hmm, I’m getting a hint of smoked wood infused with a heady aroma of Spaniards arse” & a so called expert chimes in “absolutely correct old chap, the Spaniard was having a craft cig whilst curling one down in the vineyard when he accidentally set fire to the whole caboosh”

We did a ‘wine tasting for beginners’ thingy with our sommelier on the Panama Canal cruise we did five years ago. Whilst I couldn’t pick up half of the flavours, I did pick up a few. Mrs P picked them all up because she knew what she was looking for as she’s reasonably well clued up.

The one thing I learned was that white wine is for drinking and red wine is for eating. And before some smart arse chimes in, I’m well aware you can’t eat red wine! He meant that you drink red wine whilst eating.

What if you don’t like red wine? There’s the thing , you like what you like & sod the twats who tell you “that wine doesn’t go with fish & chips”

 

[Malone]

Obviously it does go with fish and chips, it all tastes like vinegar

The thing with red wine is that I think most people don’t like it initially but if you persevere it becomes very pleasant..

And the main thing is to enjoy it - Mrs B breaks all the rules by chilling it in the fridge before drinking it, that’s how she likes it so she goes for it.

Thats the way she likes it

uh huh..

Uh huh

think I can compose a song from that?

That's why I don't drink ANY wine, it's feckin vile stuff & anyhow if it turns you into a peasant?
Then you can feck that right off.

P.S. Maybe you should stop drinking it too.

Red wine is generally an acquired taste but they vary so much. Whilst on the rare occasions I actually have a drink then red is my choice, but there's way more that I can't stand than I actually like. As I said above, my palate will only tolerate the new world reds. If we're eating out and there's no sommelier, I always ask Mrs P to choose my red and she's never wrong.

It makes a difference if it's tasted properly first, too. Mrs P even checks the colour of the red first but like I said, she's pretty clued up.

It used to be white wine with chicken and fish and red with beef, pork, lamb, etc., but that's all a bit passé now. If you want a glass of red with your tripe and dripping sandwich, then crack on.

Er, yes I do drink Earl Grey but in terms of ‘quality supermarket there is only one contender - Fortnum & Mason.
