Are wine buffs wankers?

You should expand that into a standalone business unit. That name alone is very enticing.

When we were looking for a company to conduct the training here in China, we had to select one from Taiwan as there were none on the mainland. Not sure about Australia but its not a common business, or wasn't in Asia Pacific.

The skills can be applied to the F&B industry in many different ways from Promotion to Quality.
 
Taylors - St. Andrews Shiraz 2009 had the dust blown off it last night.

"On the palate, the wine is all power with rich, ripe black fruits layered with lashings of coffee, chocolate and spice from high quality oak. The palate builds further with well-balanced, mouth filling chewy tannins delivering a very luscious, generous wine with textural complexity. A real presence on the palate, this is a powerful wine on the front and mid palate, builds to the finish, but ending well with a soft finish and persistence of ripe red fruits, cherry and spiced plum flavours."

And yes it did all that and more ! Decanted and aerated, left to stand for 1/2 hour then into the Conrads it went *glug glug* :drink:
 
Not a big wine fan myself, but i should give Henschke Shiraz a plug as it is local to where i am from and a great drop
 
I want to get some stemless wine glasses....like these. A bit tougher for me 'cos i keep breaking mine....

Although with this one i could definitely stick to my one glass per day rule....

I see so many corkscrews popping up in antique shoppes and op shops.
I am always tempted to buy them.

Then it dawns on me!

Winemakers are changing to screw-tops.
They are cheap and reliable.

So corkscrews need to be real cheap!
They are no longer a functional item!

On top of that, I see Joe has a perfect solution!

Excellent Joe, can't wait to try this.

OK get a leather shoe...now put the bottle in...no wait wait wait...does it have to be a stone wall...not too hard...is it the same for champagne...oh it's a screw top..

On another subject, the following comparison was clearly rigged, imagine comparing a fine Steinlager with Victor Bravo! NZ clear winners for mine.

I thought I'd been a Philistine, chilling the reds. In summer.

Cask wine from a clothesline? Hadn't heard of that, some sort of party game!

You are such a show off, trainspotter.

How much is this stuff worth? I am guessing, not much change out of a grand.

As this thread is called "Are wine buffs wankers?", do you actually drink it or just wank over it?

That does it I won't be drinking anything at Trainspotters place [emoji107]

Yes I am ... and yes I do. And your guess is WAAAAAAYYY off. It retails for about $530.00 but varies in price down to $350 per bottle if you buy a dozen http://www.wickman.net.au/Grange_Prices.aspx and https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produ...78582E295A025EF0.ncdlmorasp1303?bmUID=kWXvTqw
