I find the warmer red wine is the nicer it is. Much smoother, I can't stand a cool red wine! So it's the perfect tipple for a festival really lol Until you wake up the next day with red furry teeth and a terrible banging headache!

Ideally should be served nicely chilled in the hot sun but needs must and red wine can be a bit of a slog on a summers day. Chuck it under the tent in a cool bag overnight and hope for the best! Thanks hun, will give it a whirl as red wine ruins me these days, this looks like a bargain.

Red is meant to be drank at room temp so it's drinkable "Unchilled" but white, rose and sparkling all should be chilled. That wasn't the question. I took a box of rosé and it was totally drinkable, no matter how it's supposed to be served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I quite like a chilled punitive nourishing. That was meant to say chilled pinot noir but the autocorrect is that good it's staying!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verrymerry Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think if you're going down the red wine route it's worth paying for something decent, as proven by my lack of hangover last week having drunk a LOT of red wine.

I took a box of rosé and it was totally drinkable, no matter how it's supposed to be served. Who are you, the answer-police? The question was "Is rose drinkable warm, never thought it would be nice" I answered 'Nope' (reasonable for a question requiring a yes/no answer) and then I explained my reasoning. To be fair, I've just completed 12 months sobriety so my opinion isn't exactly up to date, but I've had enough in the past to give me quite an idea on these things. Most of my wine snob friends would argue Rose is never drinkable in any state. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, my dear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyhack Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 One thing I've found with wine boxes is that if you take the plastic bag out of the box when it appears to be empty often you find almost a whole glassful left that can then be squeezed out. So make sure you don't waste good (or bad) whatever you've bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been since car parks started opening Tuesday night but always used to meet at the sainsbury's in street - or round there not sure exact town - before it opened and buy booze as soon as it did at eight so unless their licence has changed it'll be fine. Yes no real time restrictions on alcohol sales now at big supermarkets now. I remember the days before the licensing laws changed there'd always be a handful of people hanging around that Sainsburys on the Wednesday morning (I was often very I'll after spending the whole overnight drive down from up north 'testing the supplies') waiting for 9 am when they opened the alcohol isles. In those days the car parks didn't open until 10am on the Wednesday and hardly anyone turned up at that time.

sophlamb Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm planning on taking a couple of boxes of red from Aldi and whenever it's super hot and sunny in the day time (which, of course, it will be) I'll buy a bottle of Sprite and make myself a refreshing tinto de verano.

Charm x Echo Falls Zin Rose is what they sell at the bars on site mainly. £4.50 a pop for a quarter bottle I think. Spend a fortune on it in 2013 so decided never again. Always BYOB. Fine dropping some ice into it too. Dangerously easy to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
