The Wine & Whisky Thread

Now, if you want to taste a 'grown up' Beaujolais, with a bit more body, and that develops those fruity flavours even further, then Waitrose currently have a rather lovely example with 25% off (down now to £9.74): https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produc...-665522-665523

Louis Jadot is also a top producer, and has an established history for consistently producing quality wines. I've enjoyed many of his wines before, so this should be rather good. Picked up a bottle today, while I was in buying some other bits and pieces, which I'll report on shortly:)

Campari Negroni: https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produc...-535124-535125

Gorgeous if you love a genuine Negroni cocktail, but don't have time!

Two now for vermouth fans, particularly if you want to make up your own Negroni cocktail, this is the stuff to use, as it's just stunning [says it's out of stock, but is definitely available in store]: https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produc...-524201-524202

Interesting, mate. Didn't think it'd be your thing at all! We love it - quite an Italian thing:)

Yeah, that was probably my favourite. Just some bits we nabbed quickly from Asda, after picking Del up from work!:cool:

This stuff is the daddy. Just pour it over ice.. Add a bit of fruit wedge a d you'll be in heaven.
Lovely spice

Punt E Mes Vermouth, 75 cl https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004EAFF..._WpT5DbWD486KF

Lol - always knew you had class, Granty! We love it (probably our favourite vermouth) and brought a few bottles over in the summer from Italy, where it's about half the price;)

Marco.

It's quite expensive for vermouth I guess, but there are a lot dearer ones. Probably not any better tho.
I also love sherry. In fact I ordered a small bottle for the festive season, just in case I'm tempted. Harvey's signature 12yr old. Yum

Nice, although I generally prefer dry sherries, but I could enjoy that one with a nice mince pie... Talking of which I bought some of these Heston ones for over Christmas:

A little bit different from the usual!:)
