Wine!

A bit too much me thinks!!!!

The bottle,cork,label and tax costs £2-80 per bottle regardless of quality. The supermarket mass sales comes over or from Australia in a huge plastic bag by tanker at 70/80p per bottle. Add in the mark up and anything under £5 is plonk. For a little extra (£1/2) you can get estate bottled wine. Worth the extra.

I have been disappointed with every glass of Prosecco I have had this Chiristmas.....  even the stuff I paid £9-10 for.

It's difficult to imagine how they are producing so much of it without a loss of taste etc. it's matured in tanks I think?

No substitute for Champagne!!!

I know..

What is it with this paint stripper of a drink? I know the MIL buys a small bottle of it each week for a treat but she only wants it for the bubbles as she adds decent Creme de Cassis to it. It definitely improves the taste but a waste of Cassis IMO.

I have to say that due to extended family from Italy we've been dinking it for years and enjoyed it but you need to buy well. 

My apologies to Prosecco lovers. Reading my last post I feel I went too far in denigrating this wine, although in my defence I have been served some awful stuff over the festive period and until someone I can trust recommends one I'll steer clear.

I like the occasional bottle of Prosecco - perhaps Ive drunk too much of it and its that tbats made me a bit indifferent to some of the stuff I've had.  I think I shall give it a rest for a while.
