Whatcha Drinking? v. Drunk Driver: "Don't make me stupid"

I was considering rose (I feel like Mailmonkey, I don't know how to put the little line above the 'e') wine but the cheapest bottle was £4.50 so went for the red wine, I've drank this stuff a few times and it's decent. Spanish. Some chorizo would be good right now.

you could just copy and paste the "é". On Linux, you can define a "compose" key. I choose AltGr as I don't use it for anything else. Then you can "compose" accented characters. So to get "é" I type AltGr + e - nothing happens - then ' - "é" appears.

I love spanish wine.
 
I can drink enjoy about any rosé or red wine so I pretty much always go for the cheapest stuff. It's rare for me to get a bottle and dislike it, even if it tastes minging on first taste, after a few slips to a glass at most I become accustomed to the taste.

I fucking love wine! I think before South America I rarely drank it bar the odd glass if offered it at a meal now it's pretty much my drink of choice. Tasty and cheap!
 
I paid £8.99 for the Jacob's Creek Shiraz rosé from the Co-Op I'm drinking tonight! It's nice though.

that only costs £8.99 so they can put it on half price at £4.49 in a couple of weeks.

No-body is expected to buy Jacobs Creek at that price, same with a lot of big wine brands, Wolf Blass springs to mind...

Jacobs Creek expect to sell their wines at £4.49 a bottle, and they have the power to get supermarkets to do this kind of pricing.

You see the wines tucked on the shelves at £8.99.

But you can guarantee in a week or two there will be a promo and the same wines will be at the front of the store in displays for £4.49.

I'm sure you're right, but that was the only acceptable Rosé they had for sale and I wasn't leaving empty handed!

It's for sale in Tesco at

tesco wine by the case said:
£45.54 per case
equivalent to £7.59 per bottle

ASDA have something similar but not exactly the same - Jacob's Creek Shiraz Rosé Vintage 2011 but 12.5% abv whereas this is 11.9% abv. The ASDA bottle is £5!

Do I have the patience to actually work out what is going on in the low-end wine market? Or will I just keep drinking whatever I can find and enjoy at a price that seems affordable?
 
Cheers =D

What do you class as unacceptable?
 
Your Co-op only has 2 choices of Rosé wine? Ours has a fair few, red wine selection is extensive. Quite impressed by it's booze selection actually, it has everything I would want to buy. Lots of beer choices, Weston cider, loads of red wine, a good selection of rosé, nice ales (though they are pricey), tons of rum, impressive choice of whisky.

yes, it's tiny, they just took over a local grocers and post office. their range of booze is poor. i actually went hoping they would have ritter sport but no. good bread rolls though.
 
Ours is like a mini supermarket, so it's got a decent choice of things. Before that opened there was just a small corner shop that sold nothing, just papers, crisps, smokes, sweets, drinks basically. Had booze but was literally tins of tennants, one brand of cheapo vodka and one cheapo whisky + a single £3 bottle of bogging wine. Closed at 4:30 in the afternoon and didn't open weekends, useless. It's now closed.
 
Alternating between fizzy water and lemonade.

An exciting existence, mine.
 
Experimenting with adding lime to some random super strength polak lager I bought to see if it makes it more palatable.

Results at this stage are inconclusive.
 
I have drank it but not regularly. I bought 4 San Miguels at Co-op, it's not the normal stuff something else / new. Co-op had no limes so going to have to stick lemon in it! £4 for 4 beers doesn't really seem worth it when tesco n adsa do crates for £8 or you can get a bottle of wine for £4. Going to finish them pretty quickly I reckon as well.
