Fred lol!!!

With regard to the zinfandel..........I didn't think the red one was that bad. I have drunk worse. Maybe I have a stomach like cast iron or something !!!!!!!!!!

Fred I am truely sorry. I meant Blush!!

Fred. Greek island out of question. But will give it a go when the weather changes and let you know if it hooks me. North Cambridgeshire may not be the best setting but we'll see !!!!!

I think I would enjoy any wine on a greek isle. Even the zinfandel.. lol

Catherine I love red as well, but white Soave is nice and Asda do nice one Seven hills Dxx

I've never tried Retsina. Is it really heavy?

Maybe I just remember it fondly because of the outcome !!!! The blush def burnt out my stomach but I do recall a half decent Zinfandel that was proper red xx

I have only come accross white zinfandel and it made me quite poorly. Had a very bad tummy next day.

There's a proper red zinfandel though. I am sure there is!!!! unless I am going mad ?

Oh Fred,I am with you on the blush wine. It burns your stomach out !!!!! Zinfandel (excuse spelling) is lovely. That's another one I have when it's on special offer. xx My youngest daughter was conceived though after a quantity of said Blush wine so there is something to be said for it I suppose :0)

Oh Fred Australian Lindemans is so so nice. catherine x

Had that fred, I think .I have had that. And very nice , don't they do different bottles?. Different versions? That is what they have in the tappas bar I am going to tomorrow! catherine x it is very nice thought, I would have never thought spanish wine could taste so nice. x

I never buy French wines (or anything) because of their bloody-minded attitude to importing our goods. Australian and Chilean are very good and an excellent, full-bodied red is Merlot although I happily quaff Shiraz and Cabernet -Sauvignon. My preference is Australian Lindeman's. len

I very much agree with you stelly. I f you buy a good quality priced wine it does not give you a headache. My absolute favourite is Rosemount Shiraz around £8 a bottle. catherine x

I tend to get whatever tesco*com has on half price offer. But they do have some very good wines on there - so check them out.

Fred What rioja do you reccomend? catherine x

Nice one Margaret. I will try the Michelob ultra. Always thought that bud was the only light beer on offer. x

Oh yes fred, very good and quite expensive taste!! You would be no cheap date!! lol

I know its going off the subject slightly but with the light beers, Michelob Ultra is a good one. No carbs and not too strong in taste if you're a bit of a wuss like me. lol
