I sometimes stop and get a bottle of Sangria off them, if that's counted? Tend to find though that I end up swigging the red or sangria down in about 3 gulps! :lol:

PS> Hello everyone - I've been lurking for a long, long time, but for some reason decided to login again today (slow day at work). Carry On.

The red wine from the wine vans is foul, frankly! But the white is pretty good, as long as you consume it swiftly while it's still cold.

There is some seriously nice wine on sale at the West Pennard Vineyard stall (which is located along the path than runs from the Tiny Tea Tent along to Avalon) - all organic fruit wines - lovely!

The wine bars have 2 main purposes at a drizzly Glastonbury -

Mulled wine - the only one that tastes any good.

When you have trudged for half an hour through gloop to get from one stage to another, then there is nothing so certain to lift the spirits than turning a corner to find a whole troupe of soggy campers dancing along to a slightly imperfectly choreagraphed wine bar routine.

So regardless of taste - we all have a duty to support this fine institution in case of rain.

(Yes - I know it's not going to rain but don't anger the weather gods)

The wine tastes like rocket fuel but it's pretty much all I drink at Glastonbury for the following reasons...

* It comes on bottles with screw tops, much easier to carry than pints.

* You can carry enough to get you pissed while in a crowd. One bottle open and another bottle or two in your pockets.

* Drinking a litre of wine means far fewer piss breaks than the equivelant 6 or 7 pints or watered down beer tent lager. Again, useful in crowds.

* Much less queueing at beer tents too.

* After the first half a bottle it tastes fine anyway.

    • Never too early to start discussing next year’s headliners right?   I’m not attending this year so thought I’d get the ball rolling as I saw Weezer have a new album out in August I’d expect them to do this or Slam Dunk next year. I mean they’re probably too big for this however I think they’re niche enough that they would maybe do it, it just depends on if the fee is a bit out of range for trees.    It’ll be the 20th anniversary next year so I’d expect some throwbacks and hopefully some big headliners/acts. James has already said he’s made a mad booking that you wouldn’t guess & I think he mentioned that he’s spent something like 80% of this years budget of next years top line already on last weeks 2 promoters 1 pod (Don’t quote me on that).    I reckon they’ll try for and get at least two (not all) of the following - Enter Shikari, AFI, Weezer, Sex Pistols Feat Frank Carter, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls
    • for some reason last night watched series one of Prey on Netflix.   if Legends was written by Timmy Mallet (see above) then Prey seems to have been made by Mr Blobby.   why are all these British crime dramas so sh*t?
    • It'll be all over various Seatfillers based upon previous years at Sandringham
    • The Jayhawks 2026 UK Tour    Sept 15 – Brighton – Corn Exchange  Sept 16 – London – Electric Ballroom Sept 17 – Manchester – Academy 2 Sept 18 – Glasgow – The Garage    For you ‘americana’ lovers. They have a great song book.
    • Weezer just announced a new album & US tour so could add them to the headliner pool. Imagine they’ll do this or trees
