Gearbox wine is my favourite.
I agree - that stuff is yummy. Is that a wine aficonado term!?
Cabalie is the wife’s favourite. Buys loads from laithwaites.
It’s ok but after two bottles gets a bit sickly🙄
Getting some nice whites, especially Gavi, from Lidl and Aldi. Lovely chilled for a warm summer evening.

Must admit I recently bought 3 cases on a special offer! 
And I feel pretty sickly 
after 2 bottles of any vin rouge over 13%.

Not sure it counts as aficionado. Need to mention “Hint of hollyhocks and Wellington boots warming by the Aga” if you want that accolade. But “yummy” works for me.

Just a snippet of useless information. A French friend of mine told me that the more “sophisticated” workers and middle class were drinking more and more beer, rather than wine which they associated with A) the upper class who only drank highly expensive “Chateau” wines. B) the rural agricultural workers/peasants who drank “vin ordinaire” and cheap vintages. Ain’t snobbery funny!

What’s the Jam Shed like Mick? I bought a bottle and took it round to some friends the other week, for various reasons, never got to try it, being plied with our hosts own selections. A few years ago, we visited our eldest son and GF in Melbourne, (both on a gap year) they were situated in the area known as the Jam factory, where this stuff is bottled I believe

I’ll let you know when she opens it, she decided not to partake in any more wine last night after all. We finished off what we had open earlier in the day, so her other tipple, sparkling water (exciting yes) was opened.
The beer went down well though.
