Coincidental Grauniad article yesterday on not being put off / intimidated by ‘no knowledge of wine’, for what it’s worth - encouragement?
Jim has such a sabre and our neighbour has the certificate.
We only do it with cheap bottles of fizz and from our terrace where the cork can fly safely into the garden.
Thanks for all your excellent suggestions, much food for thought!
Apparently they think a case of wine is an excellent idea and like their wines red full and fruity such as Merlot. So I would welcome any suggestions and I have until April to get them, hopefully we can try a few ourselves
I love the “black wines” from Cahors - really dark reds, and so rich. Really pack a punch. I drink very little and I think that’s why I love this wine so much - every mouthful is a joy. Someone who drinks more may find them somewhat overpowering.
Laithwaites sell a lot of what they call “black reds”, from various countries. I’m not suggesting you buy from them, but if @SuePJ’s idea tickles your fancy their website would be a good place for suggestions. I thoink Avery’s do the same.
