Chianti, a decent merlot or an Australian chardonnay works for me

There's a Tupperware order to have.
I wonder who she would invite to her party.

No seriously. They apparently get to help themselves to brekkies on Sundays up at Balmoral, and they had cereals etc left in Tupperware containers.

It was a tad surreal to see a touch of 'normalcy' in their lives, if you get my drift

I once saw a film clip where they were picnicing (is that how you spell it..it look weird) and doing their own washing up. It looked strange to see Prince Phillip in yellow gloves.

I liked it.

On a related note, my wife and I had a "discussion" concerning what kind of cup to use with the wine. One of us figured any cup would work and used a couple of water glasses (Good glass ones, not the plastic ones from the fair). The other said this was all wrong and refused to drink until the real wine cups were drug out of the cabinet where the've been for years gathering dust, washed, dried etc... etc...


So do you have to drink your wine out of a "wine" glass or can you use any old vessel?

Two straws in the bottle.

My daughters bought us some lovely red wine glasses for our anniversary this year. They are crystal and very simple and elegant and I daren't use them incase I break them. How stupid is that.

You had me worried for a little there when you said 'cups'. I had visions of you drinking wine from a large thick breakfast cup.

IMO the type of glass makes all the difference ie wine should be drank from a wine glass, brandy from a brandy glass etc. It just doesn't taste the same in a regular drinking glass.

Any old vessel only if you're a student. Tastes better out of a proper glass
