It's Friday and wine time.

Spanish: Campo de Borja Old Vines Tempranillo-Merlot from ASDA. Very nice stuff in the sub £10 price bracket.

It was £7 for a standard .75 bottle

:) now these boxes are very tempting as I do go to Aldi weekly to get several things but I know exactly what would happen and do value being able to get up on a Saturday morning in a fit state to drive.

Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon, bootiful. Visitors enjoyed it too but didn't tell them that there's the best part of a case left ;)

You can't beat an ice cold glass of cider in the summer. There used to be a really nice one called Taunton Special Vat but not seen it for a long time.

It's summer where the Coonawara comes from so a bit of wishful thinking comes into play.

I was just wondering which variety of wine box you had for this weekend's glugging.... contemplates a trip to Aldi tomorrow :)

It won't be to everyone's taste, it is quite dry compared to some of the 'fruity' new world wines, but it does taste of raspberries & at the equivalent of less than £2.50 a bottle I can't complain ;)

Re: The what are you drinking now thread
 
What was I drinking Thursday night (now mostly recovered).

Pint of Lowenbrau
Two pints of Red Squirrel Bitter
Two 500ml bottles of Asahi Super Dry (with meal at Wagamamas), and two 250ml flasks of Saki
Two strange cocktails (Blackberry Fizz - cognac, champagne, and various other ingredients) and a bottle of Budvar Dark at Harvey Nicks 4th Floor bar
Two Mojitos
Two Margaritas (tequila based, not pizza base)
3 pints of Black Sheep with 3 Jagermeister chasers

It started getting a bit blurry around then, so I may have drunk more, but really can't remember (but do remember getting a taxi home and going straight to bed) - yesterday wasn't my most productive day of the year at work....:D
