Glad it worked out well, Jules. Hope my other reccos turn out to be as successful!:)

Justers,
The emboldened bits, for me, are key... I wanted you to try the Viognier, as I knew it'd be the polar opposite of the B&B!:eyebrows: Now you know the type of white wines I generally prefer and mostly drink [crisp, clean and fresh, as you've described], but fundamentally NOT devoid of character. The character is simply less 'obvious' or overblown.
That's not to say that I don't occasionally enjoy a 'hefty', heavily-oaked Oz, or other New World-derived white wines, which are great on their own without food, but in general I prefer subtler, more sophisticated, less 'full on' whites, and which have more acidity to compliment the appropriate food:)

Good stuff. Have a squint at what it is and let me know. We normally buy our port from Tanners in Shrewsbury: https://www.tanners-wines.co.uk/
Not just port, but good Burgundy and Claret. They have a superb selection. It's only 40 mins drive, and makes a nice day out with lunch, after doing some Xmas shopping!:)

Think it was a fancy aldi bottle in a tin. Had it a few years.
Interesting. They often introduce special lines for Xmas. We've had some excellent pudding wines from them before, and also Lidl:)
Will probably give this one a go this year: https://www.tanners-wines.co.uk/cata...view/id/10792/
Should be great with some stilton, too!

Think it was a Xmas one. Might need decanting lol.
Oh it almost certainly will. especially vintage varieties, as there's invariably some sediment.

Sure, if I'm in Majestic (which admittedly is rare) I'll defo drop a bottle of B&B into the trolley:)
