As there is a distinct lack of quality supes I wondered if I might just start a thread close to my heart/liver.

If there is such a thing as good alcohol then I request you let us know about it....

For me under a fiver and a tasty Rioja grape that the ladies like:

We get through a fair bit of wine at our house, some of it downright shit - especially that 'once won loads of medals when it still tasted alright' stuff. So any pointers to good tasting deals would be great. [hic]

My favourite is a south Austrailian Shiraz by Little Penguin, if you can find a 2008 or 2009 then they're the best. Very smooth and easy drinking with a really jammy aftertaste

with a tiny bit of tonic, several ice cubes

Barefoot Merlot......Very tasty and goes down well.....too well sometimes....

Case of six for less than £30.....

This is my regular red, ca'di ponti nero d'avola . . . about a fiver. The 2010 is very good, the 2009 is very very good. Recommend it.

bloody salivating

friend brought this back from his honeymoon in bali... for an every day scotch it was damn nice

if anyones getting some hot weather somewhere around the world..
my favourite drink

Evil stuff, u can really taste the cane too.

I don't really have a subtle enough palate for good wines, I can rarely taste any real differences. I'm more of a 'sod the vintage, check the percentage' kinda drinker
