would you buy...?

[Ed209]

I'll literally drink whatever. The cheaper the better.

[Wooderson]

Neil honestly mate I wouldnt listen to or be encouraged by Nal's opinion about festival booze.

Geezer'd drink it through a sweaty sock. He survives for a week on YeoValley frozen yoghurts, dirt cheap booze and Rennie.

But I'm all for your idea. Good solid Merlot, strong enough to do the job.

Sainsbury's already sell wine in plastic bottles. I haven't seen the ones in the following article but I did buy some other plastic bottles of their wine for Secret Garden Party this year.http://www.ukwinesonline.co.uk/wp/183/

I'd be interested, but I can't say how much I would buy. A good merlot available at a reasonable price in plastic bottles would definitely appeal, I don't like non-cask ale, hate warm lager and I'm not a big fan of spirits + mixers, so a decent wine that I don't have to decant to take would be good. It'd be a bit price dependent though, If I could get a similar quality wine in a glass bottle for £2 cheaper then I can buy a plastic bottle to decant into for barely anything.

Ones that are sold in campsites at non-ridiculous prices would be ace though.

Is there something wrong with Wine Boxes?! I swear by them. You can get 4 bottles worth of decent plonk for about £13, no glass, easy to carry around, and when full the bag doubles up as a pillow.

In short no. I drink a lot of wine, but at festivals - I drink anything but. I too am a bit of a wine snob, wont drink it in a pint glass, wont drink it from the bottle, wont drink it if its too warm or too cold. Of course if I am thisty/desperate, I'll pretty much drink anything, but I'm very rarely desperate.

Just being honest.

[eFestivals]

well, I can report that the merlot is very nice. I certainly wouldn't be upset to pay £7 for a bottle of that from a supermarket.

(I've no idea what the normal selling price of this wine is).

[philipsteak]

You trying to get the full festival effect by drinking it at 8 in the morning?

Link won't be working because you didn't put a space after the full stop from the previous sentence. See my edit.

the missus tried the rose last night. She's not particularly keen on rose, but thought it very nice.

Bill gates wife doesnt tell him windows is shit, send everyone a free bottle to sample.

I've only got three sample bottles myself (one of each), and the missus would have no problem telling me the wine is shit if she thought it was shit.

Where in France?

[The Nal]

Not too far into France, near to le touquet. Was just thinking of in the supermarkets, always so much choice so just wondered if anyone had any recommendations really.

[thetime]

My housemate, well ex housemate now, bought a load of this below. Cheap and cheerful. Handy just having it on the bookcase so you can nip a glass whenever suits!

[The Nal]

Fuck nal, not in my house the wife wouldnt be able to stop herself...

[guypjfreak]
