With the amount of sugar in Branston Pickles it might be expected I'd like 'em but I don't.

In the sense that it is a variety of fortified wine:

I do remember the day after a Rugby sevens tournament, waking up on a park bench after a night of port and brandies, with a pocket full of broken port glasses in my pockets and a jakey trying to steal my wallet.....

I can believe it. The wine here is superb. No reason to think the fortified wouldn't be. I have tried some fortified Shiraz and Tawny port and it cuts the mustard. Anybody who disparages Aussie wines need look no further than the French financial involvement in the industry here and the adoption of many techniques used in wine making in Australia. They are scared.
