White wine is treacherous
|
|
Drinking Orvieto (just ordinary Co-op Orvieto).
It's far too cold by my usual standards, as it was warm when I bought it, and I stuck it in the freezer, only to fall asleep after playing football (I'm might not be too old to play football, but I'm beginning to think I'm too old to play in this heat).
Frost on the outside of the bottle.
But it actually tastes quite good, with its flavour not killed by the low temperature. Which is surprising

Bacchus is a grape developed in Germany but produces namby pamby low acidity grapes and wines in their climate but in the English climate produces wines with similar qualities to sauvingon blanc ( if you like those flowery type wines). I like it. It never comes very cheap like all English wines but you are buying local.

I've not had the Bacchus, but speaking of EXEMPLARY English wine, I just bought 4 bottles of Nyetimber Classic Cuvee from Ocado because it's currently £9 off. Fill your boots at that price.

Vice versa

Lidl does very few things worth having consistently.
If they have something good one week, it's not there the next. (Slight exaggeration. One thing they seem to have once a year are tellycherry black peppercorns. Black pepper exponentiated)

You’ll never beat that 80’s classic sparkling British white wine called Concorde ……

Lidl does a very respectable Italian pinot noir (the basic red beaujolais grape), we which is a white.

Because it goes with grapes, you'd expect it to go with less sweet fruit like cherries (ones with a touch of sharpness).
It doesn't.
*finishes cherries, cleans palate with cheese, drinks dry white wine

I suppose you think you're a connoisseur now, like that Jilly Goulden or Sam Allardyce?
