tons - if you are making a case for ale, you probably need to drop Watneys Red Barrel and spell Peculier correctly

Was watching a foodie wine type programme on tv recently and the presenter was saying that he gives his red wines a whizz in the food blender first to help release more flavour.

You cannot beat Gevry Chambertin with the turkey...For a white my preference would be Mersault.

Posy - easy to beat Gevrey Chambertin, with Chambertin!!, but the £285'ish a bottle is a bit of a barrier

a good wine has to be around the £50 a bottle mark - anything less and i simply use it to clean the silver .

Echo those who have said Amarone which is about £20-£25 a bottle. Absolute quality drinking.
Fork out a few quid extra for a magnificent Amarone Riserva at about £35. Although Aldi had it at £20 (2010 a slightly cheaper year) recently and have sold out. Just make sure you keep this gem to drinking yourself and get out a nice £8 bottle of Rioja or such like when friends call round. Here is a good article about it: http://winefolly.com/review/why-amarone-wine-is-worth-the-price/ And for the winners of the Scoop 6 how about this pearler? Quintarelli Giuseppe Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva 1995 Veneto · Italy Average rating 4.8 32 ratings Average price £2,288.69 |

The Society's Red Burgundy 2015
2015 is a ripe Burgundy vintage with attractive black-cherry fruit. It is richer than 2013, the last vintage of this red that we offered, yet remains a lightish wine. Entry-level red Burgundy divides opinion: confirmed Burgundy lovers will enjoy its light refreshing qualities, but Burgundy beginners may be shocked by its austerity and high acidity. For sweeter pinot look to Chile, for richness and power, looking away from pinot to the Rhône may be a better option. £8.95 hmmmmm I think not |

A friend of mine told me that the best wine is made in Scotland. It has a cheeky nutty malty flavour and comes in an elegant purple canister.
