Big fan of this and only £6 a bottle

The world's best wine has been announced - and it costs £6

[hip_young_gunslinger]

Is it only at Asda?

[RoverHendrix]

Yes, think they’ve got some kind of deal going on as they sell a few of their wines

I find white a bit more consistent than red - might just be the price range and variety I’m buying but I can’t remember a poor white wine I’ve bought in the last five years or so. They’ve all been 7/10 or so whereas the reds have ranged 4-10/10.

Based on a very poor pallette and extremely limited knowledge.

Keep the light stuff, I want it bodied as fuck.

These are my wine opinions too.

@Ruffers

Old wine + cola though

We called it Woke when I was a lad*

*mid-twenties man.

Cheap white wine and Tizer was a Wizer and mixed with Irn Bru was Wine Bru. These were my brother’s drinks because he disgusts me.

Did it once waiting for a train in Newcastle Central Station.

It was nice but felt really odd.

Michael Jackson called it Jesus juice and gave it to kids.

The tannins which give red wine its depth of taste also cause hangovers/ headaches.

The Hebrew word ‘tannin’ means ‘dragon’ (according to some bullshit Seventh Day Evangelist video about dinosaurs I watched) so your hangover is caused by dragons.

Love a red wine and coke me

[drastic_measures]

Occasionally i like to fill a big wine glass to the top. I know why it shouldn’t be done, and I won’t drink it any faster than I would if I’d spaced it out to 2-3 glasses, I just enjoy the heft.

Alcohol gives you headaches / hangovers. Yea is also full tannins but doesn’t mess you up (unless you react badly to tannins which is possible)

Alright Poindexter

[Elights]

Used to drink loads of wine - difficult with kids and a propensity towards hangovers that feel like Satan has pissed directly into my cerebro-spinal fluid.

When I do still manage a drink though: riocha 'til I die (or at least until I’m in the mood for a Shiraz / malbec instead)

Did have a bottle of 19 Crimes (Australian blended, I think) a couple of weeks ago which slipped down beautifully.

Wish I had wine now. But it’s raining and I’m already in my pyjamas.

@xylo

from cheap to v pricey

There’s your problem mate, those are not valid wine categories.

[eems]

There are a good 2 or 3 people in this thread who’ve obviously had a conversation with a wine nerd once, it’s impressive stuff guys.

I’ll just have half a bottle of Blue Nun

[Tuna]

Alright, big suze

Took me ages to realise this glass wasn’t somehow precariously balanced on that book.
