Wine white or red 19:36 - Feb 26 with 2247 viewsmax936

What's your recommendations, for choice's of both red and white?
I'm enjoying a drop of 19Crimes now after me Tea, I do prefer the Apothic red though, their dark red is nice to, as is 19Crimes Ultimate, standard 19Crimes doesn't have enough body for me though and its seems a bit dry, that said I do enjoy it, a neighbour give me a Bordeux 2018 byt Le Chai on my birthday last month, that was superb, Looking to broaden my choices as there must be plenty of other wines out there, that are just as nice.

You can't go wrong with a Chilean Merlot. Some are better than others, but I've never had a bad one.

Bought an £8 bottle of something of the type from Aldi to take camping with Mrs Winston a couple of years ago and it was gone before we'd finished putting the tent up. Wish I could remember what it was.


If you like Merlot you’ll like Pinotage which is South African. Currently like others I’m into Malbec at the moment preferably Argentinian.

Forget the snobbery and just enjoy what you like

In simple terms,

Oz for Red

Nz for white

Most Barossa valley reds are lovely

Try Nz whites from Blenheim area and also Otago reds. (much underated)

Yes, had an Argentinian Malbec recently which was very nice indeed.

Told ya. You can't go wrong with a Chilean Merlot.

I've made my own Merlot with a kit. Needs a year or two of ageing but not bad at all considering it works out about £1.20 a bottle.

If I wasnt such a tw@t I d go to the Bin and check the label.

If gone try this

2019 PAUL MAS (Well know winemaker)
Malbec ,Languedoc. £12 for 2. Good with Lamb ,honest.

I know this part of France quite well and been to several wineries around Beziers and inland.
The malbec ,IMO,aint as harsh as Argentina and is very good value.

Tesco has a lovely Campania white ..Tesco finest Falanghina del Sannio. £9. NONE BLOODY QUID FFS. It is well balanced and has a little bitterness which goes well with pasta.

Any more information gladly supplied .

I used to drink a lot of Rose. Still quite partial to a nice Zinfandel.

Took me a good long while to properly appreciate Red Wine, but I got there in the end.

Innit.

The fickle fall for all that snobbery. Embarrassing. As proven on this thread by some proper beauts.

It's simple. It's a subjective thing.. Scour the aisles, and find what works for you.

Red or Rose for me.

I know this is unconventional, but I like my red wine chilled, and on a nice summers day I drink it with ice, anyone else ?

Pinot Noir chilled is quite nice.

Otherwise, do what you want. If chilled red wine is your thing then go for it.

Treat them like dogshit on a pavement. Something to be aware of, but only so you can sidestep them and then get on with your business without giving them a second thought.

AC.
Ive been on several wine courses in a previous career when Blue Nun was deemed a treat with Sunday lunch (in Killay)
Ive done the Medoc tours and tasted a very expensive Margaux and countless Premier Cru.

My favs are Rhone Valley reds and Puglia reds with decent Ribeye.

New Zealand Marlborough for white wine every time.

Stick to wine and we're fine.!

Wifey,bless her, not keen on the dear /overpriced Bordeaux reds. Prefers a Provencal rose for a tenner. It is all about enjoyment.

Not sure the UK made much wine in its colonies but they did make white and dark rum.

Too far out.

I work on the assumption that anything that costs more than £5 a bottle in Lidl or Aldi will be worth drinking, and that's never let me down so far.
