Red, White Wine?
 

Okay, Im totally clueless;) as to which one is good, red or white, but I like to have a sip once or 2x a week. Can anyone suggest a good cheapish wine, red or white or whatever can compliment a good dinner. Do you know of any brand, local or imported I can buy for those special occasions(moderately price)? Cheers,,,,TIA

I always stick to Merlot. If you like red wine play it safe. you can find it at all different price levels but i havent tasted a bad one yet.:thumbsup:

for myself red wine = hangover

even tho some of them are lovely i have 1 glass and then its a bad head in the morning..

For some nice easy to drink wines go for californian whites or Rose...
The mass produced ones like gallo family are popular for a reason (and cheap)

We have a personal preference for Australian and New Zealand ones , but not sure how easy these are to get in Canada

Also our favs at the moment tend to be the unoaked chardonays , we just get what ever is on offer that week to try them out.

Just go buy whatevers on sale ,and try various ones yourself , if they are rank either add lemonade or save it until you had bottle already then it dont taste soo bad..

Hmm we not alcholics just like wine :thumbsup: Looking forward to trying the canadian ones..

Re: Red, White Wine?
 

Me too. Very easy to get and a similar price to the UK.

Cheap and very good = Hardys Stamp label. Oz.

A bit more but well worth it for the quality = Rosemount diamond label. Oz.

Cheap Rose and good = Jackson Triggs white Merlot. Canadian.

I find a Chilean Merlot the best at the mo - or if you can find it a nice tempranillo (sp*) both really tasty in a non vinegar kind of way. Pay about $16 for a drinkable bottle.

White - a nice Columbard is a safe bet, good with or without food and everyone can drink it.

Yes, very easy to drink i also like shiraZ. Sorry my keyboard is broken thanks to my lovely boys and the Z is broken, so had to type Zoo with an x ( so xoo) in word and let spell check sort out the spelling then copy and paste the Z thats why Z is in capital :o.
