(..... I'm a fan of "Eats Shoots and Leaves") I'm always catching others for not being specific. So I guess turnabout is fair play.
I should have said for the most part red wine is the only alcoholic drink I partake in.
I do like cider (Strongbow or the like) occasionally and have been known to drink Mikes Hard Lemonade on occasion too. But as a daily occurrence red wine is it, and it did take a while to develop a liking for it.
