Favorite Wine

[Redbeard007]

I must confess I know absolutely nothing about the various wines that are available. However, I believe there are many here at this site that are knowledgeable about many things. I.E., worldly-wise folk! So, Red wine as opposed to White wine? Which is better? Or, is it just a personal preference thing? Just wanted some good opinions from the highly-enlightened.

[highjinx]

BUCKFAST tonic wine! hehe its the shit!:D :thumbsup: :dance: :thumbsup: :dance: :thumbsup:

[buddymyfriend]

I used to be a massive red fan, gimme a Merlot or Cabernet Sauv' anyday but as I got older my taste buds tend to prefer a nice, sweet fruity white. Id now go with white anyday now. If it aint white, it aint right! It's a matter of opinion bro.

Peace

Sounds kinda like the "Mad Dog" a friend of mine used to drink when I was in the military! Man, he would drink that whole bottle and get soooo wasted! It was like real cheap, too!

haha mad dog and buckfast, theyr like the 2 main drinks here!:D
i had 2 bottles of bucky on sunday lol!:thumbsup:

[Redbeard007]

Don't know if I want to drink that much. lol. When ya drink, do you ever do the weed, too? I would think that combo would be lethal! lol

[highjinx]

yeah i always do both. cant drink as much when smokin too though! :smokin:
ralf! lol:D

Yeah, I can understand that!

[Harvesthetic]

Great q. didn't know we had wine connoisseurs here.

I'll have a bit of Merlot anyday, the Languedoc is on a steady uprise and the Lafitte... Well that's for the big shots, never drank it before, mostly because they're soo expensive.

Weird stuff. I absolutely love red wine but the white wine is just bad champagne to me... :)

"I heard it through the grapevine" reminded me of that saying. It's beautiful, come to think of it.

And Redbeard007, I LOVE some good hash alongside my fruity bottle. But as for weed.. I rather keep em separated. ;)

[activedenial]

My favorite wine is activedenials reserve. Welches grape juice, yeast, oranges, and sugar. Let sit for a weak, then wine.:glugglug:

Highjinx, noticed you're in Scotland. That is one of my vacation goals someday! My Grandfather was a full-fledged Scotsman, so I'd like to see the Old Country.

Home-made! Awesome! And, probably very affordable too! Plus, doesn't sound like you have to have a lot of "still" equipment! lol

[activedenial]

No equipment needed. You have to add the sugar first, then add the oranges then yeast. Let it sit closed with a bag on top with a hole to release the air in a dark place. That's it. High alcohol content as well, like regular wine. Doesn't taste too much different from shiraz, or merlot. I just don't like spending money when I can make it myself.:D

[JustSayNo]

BUCKFAST tonic wine! hehe its the shit!:D :thumbsup: :dance: :thumbsup: :dance: :thumbsup:

I love BUCKFAST, grew up on the shit,

alternate names for BUCKFAST:

a bottle of beat the wife,

a bottle of wreak the house,

Lurgan Champagne (Lurgan being my home town).

"Funny thing is that it's made by MONKS".

[highjinx]

Maybe you could find it on one of the internet sites? I noticed several wine sites that had tons to choose from. That's why I posted the question on various wines. There are soooo many to choose from. Thought I could find out what some of the more popular ones were.

[highjinx]

everywhere used to sell it here, i drank it a lot when i was younger!
now nowhere sells it?? dunno what happened. boooooo:mad: :smokin:

Thought I would try the Thunderbird I had been hearing so much about, but couldn't find it. Settled on a Red Blush Niagra...wasn't too bad! I'll be trying the white next for comparison.

[highjinx]

Yeah, if they even sell it here in the U.S.! I'll definitley be on the look-out for it, though!

[SensiRide]

Favourite wine is Semillon Sauvignon Blanc from western Australia. Pinot Grigio blush is nice too.

[drinksmokesleep]

A nice Zinfandel.............Or Burgandy if I'm havin a big meaty meal.........Mind you i like my Port/Benedictine (not Buckfast) after with a cigar........

But a nice cold bottle of Zinfandel.....couple of blims and some good company in a park on a hot day........Hot damn summers comming

[Redbeard007]

Thanks everyone for the wine suggestions! I knew there were some real wine connoisseurs on this board! And, as a real plus, from what I just read in the newspaper this morning, Red Wine fights gum disease!! lol

[sim667]

if u want a nice light summery wine there's one called 'fiordaliso', its an italian white white (cant remember what type tho) its nice and dry and light, perfect for bbq's and with salad on a hot day

for red 'rioja' wines from catalunya in spain are really nice, they do some whites too that are nice.

there's also a new vineyard in catalunya called 'esparalt' which has just started, unfortunately i havent seen it in any offies yet..... but its one to keep an eye out for, if u do see it get the white with the light coloured label on the neck

[JustSayNo]

lol you have to try buckfast! its like our national drink haha!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

if you ever go to Amsterdam bring as many bottles as you can carry,

it was like golddust around the campsitesand many people will pay top dollar for a bottle, as much as 20 euro
