dogsby Posted 8 September 2013 Posted 8 September 2013 If you like big Aussie reds try anything from the d'arenberg winery,costs a bit but well worth it.

The People's Hero Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 The sulphides/sulphites thing FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE is true. For my birthday last year I had a wine tasting at home and purchased 12x bottles of organic wine without the sulphides. Bit pricey but lovely flavours and no hangover. I typically stick to supermarket wines though if I'm honest and know enough now to know what I like and what is a decent offer and not the supermarkets blowing smoke. Ill tell you all about a tip for buying wine at Tesco shortly. One of my best friends was a master of wine. The youngest in the country I believe and was widely quoted in wine books/guides and was a wine buyer for many well respected stores and an advisor to some good restaurants and hotels. He died at just 27 years of age. : ( I have some of his wine books and always promised myself I'd read them all. I've done a bit but feel a bit bad now I haven't.
Merging Cultures Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 I don't typically get hungover from drinking wine. I probably would drink less of expensive organic wine and therefore definitely not have a hangover!!
The People's Hero Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 I don't typically get hungover from drinking wine. I probably would drink less of expensive organic wine and therefore definitely not have a hangover!! Maybe that's the secret! I don't suffer hugely with hangovers, but love a drink so happily take them on the chin and just get on with it. Had a lovely Tempranillo last night. We always have a lot of wine in but we should really cut down.
Ric Flair Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 I absolutely love wine, it stems from the days my brother used to give me warm hock when I was about ten. My general favourites are Sauvignon Blanc from the Malborough Estate and other New Zealand regions, Chablis is a party in the gob but costs the earth and some decent German reislings. There are plenty of other white wines I enjoy but the above is a play safe mainly because the missus is a picky bastard and i've managed to get her to enjoy all of the above. Red wines i'm not really that preferrential, I love a Spanish rioja and a Malbec. Good lord, i've not touched a single nip of ale all weekend due to being ill as arseholes but now I fancy a skinful!!!

We always have a lot of wine in but we should really cut down. I do enjoy a few glasses of wine in an evening. But I am thinking of cutting down too. I think if I could limit myself to a glass of REALLY good wine a night I think I would be happier. It's keeping to the limit that is the problem.
