lol my brother drank the same stuff last night!

My folks visited melbourne for their once yearly visit to see the kids.

On the way to lunch with 5 people in my VW we had to stop twice so my Bro could spit!

let's just say my parents are less than impressed!

Yea I seen in the paper the other day, bottles for $2.

What type of wine is it? Ie chardonay, merlot etc.

Tell us if it is drinkable.....

cheap wine tastes crap and gives u the worst hangover - try a nice aged pinot noir from Mornington Peninsula - absolute heaven

From ABC August 6, 2006

The new 'health tax' is one of the recommendations in the latest National Alcohol Strategy and would add 10 per cent to the cost of beer, wine and spirits.

Enjoy it while you can, if health tax is imposed it will be $2.20

 

[doctorj]

So if our taxes that we already pay aren't going to health, what are they going to?

 

[Happy]

This extra bit will go to help our alcoholics.

Even Mel might be able to get some help too, if he asks.

these "cleanskins" (search google) are being sold off so farmers and other people can get at least some money instead of simply dumping excess stock.

I think they sell them without their true labels to protect their real value....
But some may be simply crap stock. It really depends on the batch you land with.

Did you know it takes 750 litres of water just to produce 1 bottle of wine

how many litres of water did you drink sunday morning?

 

[Mofra]

Did you know it takes 750 litres of water just to produce 1 bottle of wine

And over half of the world's fresh water is used in the production of meat for human consumption.

What drought?

PS Roughly half the wine I drink is cleanskin; it helps to have a local shop (wouldn't buy from a large chain) & to get to know the owners, as amongst the lot there is always a bargain or two.

In fact, we often get some sparkling (Pierre Deville, yes it's French) which is decent for $10 a bottle, even if the cleanskin label is on the front. Imagine my shock when I went out for dinner on Friday night and found the restaurant selling it for $5 a glass!

[3 veiws of a secret]

hmmm if you buy a dozen ,does the price drop to $1.98!!!! Perhaps its that anti-freeze from Austria! .Call me a snob,I just would not touch this wine ,sounds like too many sulphides adding to the headaches.

 

[imajica]

agreed!!! apart from the noxious palate and rancid aftertaste the lack of refinement of the wine itself means one thing! mega hangovers

lets all post our all time favourite wine:


Ill go first


Stonier Reserve Pinot Noir 1999 (red)
