The real reason is that we got a cheap box or two from a local vineyard through Ian's work so I am happily working my way through that, it is cleanskin (ie no lables etc so looks like you are drinking homebrew but it tastes excellent).

What do you eat then? Hubby drinks red but I prefer white. Mind you... when I run out then I'll have a glass out of his box! (Yes we don't mind the boxes - very cheap, esp when you get through a lot!!!)

ps no I don't need the number for alkys anon just yet - maybe next week. No, maybe after new year!!

Don't really drink it with dinner we normally start once the kids have gone to bed.

I didn't mean what do you drink it with! I meant what do you eat - as you said your fridge was nearly empty!!! I usually start as soon as the kids are in the bath!!
