Are there any wine buffs here?

[Sam Spade]

Do we have any wine buffs on E-I? I have heard of a few alright and I believe there is an escort out there with a very large collection of vintage wines. It takes me 11 minutes to 'turn' my collection ...... I believe it takes her at least 2 hours!!!!

Maybe I should start a wine club ....... tips on what's good and where to get it when it comes to market. Anyone interested?

I love all well bodied wine.
Unfortunately I am always inclined to drink the delights rather than turning them.

I know wine is one of the best investments at present, but I know I could not help myself!!!!!!

......but I find Aldi and Lidi have some eally nice wines, both red and white at great prices......

Lidl have a great Chianti Riserva and Soave at the moment and so well priced! There is also a great Champagne on the Lidl shelves ..... ideal for breakfast Bucks Fizz on Christmas morning.

I only got wine from Lidl once before - horrible, although Ruby Port quite nice.

Any suggestion as to current red wine which is good value - Cabernet Sauvignon my favourite by the way

Aldi have a wonderful Cote du Rhone for about €7 and Lidl do a Saint Emillion for about €13 - can't go wrong with either.

At the end of the day buy what you like, if you buy a bottle for a fiver and it tastes nice then go for it!!

I'm a Shiraz fan on the red and savignon blanc/ pinot on the white.... Oh dear... xmas is killing me...

Shiraz and I dont get on Im afraid. I had one recently which felt as though it was stripping the skin off my throat ... !! Pinot Noir or Pinot Grigo can be really nice.

How do i start a club on this forum?

Try the Chianti Riserva in Lidl, its 6.99 a bottle. Their Ruby Port is great value and really good
