Last night Madam_CC & I were talking about our Tastes in Wine, & Madam_CC suggested a Thread could be a good Idea, so here it is.
Whats your particular Tipple, then others might be Interested in what Wine you Drink.
I do like a good Red such as a Merlot or a Rioja.
I also like a British Red Perry.
My tastes are from the traditional European countries mainly France & Italy. French whites Chablis, Sancerre, or most of the wines from Burgundy with some Loire Valley. Don't forget the big bold reds from Bordeaux where are also to be found some 'pudding' Wines Sauternes for those with a sweet tooth & with deep pockets too try Chateau d'yquem.
My fave white is a Sancerre and my fave reds are either a chianti or rioja.
Oh you will find I am very cultured mwm....:bounce:
julios n gallio red or white not fussed fantastic wine mmmm
Madam_CC it was a good idea after all we`ve rocked the Boat in here seems our Wine Club has taken off
Dont forget Sancerre comes in Red & pink too, we tend to drink the Italians for everyday, Pinot Grigio, Vedecchio, Garvi de Garvi, or French Muscadet Sut Lie
Hummm dont give me wine to drink cus il go all giggly nd fall asleep................

10 year old wine ??.....wont it have gone off by then :giggle:
......:grin: sorry, in one of those moods :haha:
10 year old white wine probably will have gone off! Vintage champagne might just last that long, but I wouldn't put my house on it.
Andy - if it's got to be 10 years old, I'd go for a red. A Gran Reserva rioja perhaps (should set you back about £15 - £20), or a really good French claret (Chateau Margaux - but be prepared to pay a lot; £40 upwards ). Even with red wine, it's still a risky business buying the old stuff that's aged in the bottle. It can go past its best very easily.
The beauty of rioja is that it's aged in oak barrels for several years before they put it into the bottle, which is all part of the maturing process. There are 3 sorts: Ordinary, Reserva, and Gran Reserva. Gran Reserva rioja spends the longest in the barrel, and isn't usually sold until it's at least 8 years old, and it's usually delicious!
Oh yeah and on my first glass of wine tonight and its rather
I like a red with a bit of a punch like a decent Barolo or a Chateauneuf Du Pape.
I like my whites a little more subtle like a Pouilly Fume or nice white burgundy
Château Trotanoy, 1999
A.O.C. Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
Château Trotanoy has turned out an impressive string of Bordeaux vintages since the mid-1990s - and now sits at the pinnacle of Pomerol producers alongside Châteaux l'Eglise Clinet, l'Evangile and La Conseillante.
Trotanoy was once known as Trop Ennuie, but the estate name was changed by the former owners (the Giraud family), who felt that it lacked the panache to compete with Bordeaux's finest wines of the Graves and Médoc.
Since 1953, Trotanoy has been owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix (of Pétrus fame); and its richly opulent wines are vinified and handled in a very similar fashion to this legendary Bordeaux château.
The 1999 Bordeaux vintage is perfect for Bordeaux wine drinkers rather than investors -
"Delicious, elegant aromas and flavors of earth, mocha, cherries, and tobacco characterize this middle weight, dark ruby-colored 1999. It offers low acidity, sweet fruit, and an appealing combination of accessibility and balanced elegance."
:2fingers: Yeh well you say that..... :2fingers:
Are the Peasants Revolting,cluttering up this Thread with there Beer Culture?
well we like most wines, white or red as long as its " not to demanding" lol
Think that needs expanding upon, how does a wine become classified as 'demanding' ???
Any wine that pins you to the floor and doesn't let you get up again can safely be described as "demanding".
but a nice full bodied one ( just like me LOL) is good.
The threads are looking up and getting very cultural :cheers: 
I prefere rose or white, and stowells are nice wines. Also if it is a red, not an african, never been keen on African Red, always found them to be quite dry. Although if anyone knows of a nice African red im prepared to try again. Give me a nice scilian red anyday.
Not having a glass tonight, but i will be at the shops tomorrow picking myself up a cheeky wee
