A rapistWhat sort of idiot pays £1000 for a bottle of wine?
There are plenty of good, reasonably priced wines.
The Spanish stuff is great mixed with coke thoughAbout a tenner. Twenty max. I do like a good offer though.
I have my favourites.
Makes me laugh that some wines in Spain are cheaper than bottled water. And they taste like it.
Daughter and her partners favourite.I can highly recommend Jam Shed Shiraz. It’s £6/7 at Sainsbury’s.
Bloody delicious! The Aussies make some decent stuff.
Providing you crush it in a Mortar and Pestle first, otherwise it struggles to disolveThe Spanish stuff is great mixed with coke though
Given your user name. You don’t perchance live on Thasos?Daughter and her partners favourite.
I'm in Madeira at the moment and just walked past some red Douro in the local supermarket, priced for the said €2.95.2euro 95 cents (from Valencia region) drinkable ,and had much worse at 7euros bottle
Unfortunately no we don't. Been there many times and should have been on the first flight to Kavala today but decided against it. Would love to live there but with having 2 daughters and 3 grand kids it's a no no for both of us. We retired 6 yrs ago and took language lessons which we did for 4 yrs and so we now speak Greek to a good standard.Given your user name. You don’t perchance live on Thasos?

Although a slight sweetness to it.I can highly recommend Jam Shed Shiraz. It’s £6/7 at Sainsbury’s.

You need to move!Wine is bloody expensive here, so looking at 15 quid to even enter the market!!!
Im pretty sure I can tell the difference between 3 and 30. Even 10 and 30. The step up to 300 though? Probably not.I'm not a red wine man myself so wouldn't have a clue.
A hypothetical question for the connoisseurs though:
If we did a blind Tizer like test with a £3 bottle, £30 bottle and £300 bottle do we think we could all tell the difference ?
Every credit. I believe it’s not an easy language to learn?Unfortunately no we don't. Been there many times and should have been on the first flight to Kavala today but decided against it.

AgreeUnder a fiver, above 12%. All wine tastes the same.
It's not an easy language to learn but if you persevere you get there in the end. The trip over from Keramoti is very entertaining when people hold their hand outstretched to feed the gulls that follow the boat. I would hazard a guess that we have been to Thassos in excess of 20 times and it is a great spectacle to see a full blown Greek argument that never comes to blows. The biggest insult you can give to a Greek is to raise your hand and stick your palm in their face. Another great spectator sport is watching a Greek family entering and demolishing a taverna by moving all the tables and chairs. Getting back to the subject of wine, a visit to Lazaridis wine factory at Drama on the mainland is a trip not to be missed.Every credit. I believe it’s not an easy language to learn?
The ferry trip from Keramoti to Thasos, is really enjoyable.
It’s even better when one of the coaches tries to leave the ferry, before it’s fully docked,
at Thasos. The upshot being, the driver rips the sump off his coach!
Watching Greeks arguing is a brilliant spectator sport!
