Tino might inform you the Chilean Sauvignon or Merlot was particularly good. I prefer a good Cahteauneuf-du-pape myself, but tend to drink rose this time of year. I came across a particularly good couple of bottles in Rainbow recently: a Syrah at half price (£3.49) and the Andrew Peace rose which is seriously recommended when its on offer as well.

As for early season skiing, should you find yourself in a certain Ziller Valley in Austria, try the local Zweigeld red, its fantastic.

Well funnily enough my favorite tipple at the moment is a good Carménère from chile, which falls somewhere between a Cabernet and Merlot, a lovely drinking wine in its pure form and not too full bodied.

I'm rather partially to the bubbly stuff produced around the Champagne area, as you would appreciate that the chardonnay grape is used in the production of fizzy French drink..... 8) 8)

Champagne is a funny thing, sends me nuts.

You have the national variations as they can not call it Champagne, and to be quite frank Euro for Euro it can be waaay better. A good Spanish Cava can be excellent, however a German Sekt is usually not so great.

What shall I have for tea by the way, the choice is massive as I have nothing so must go to the supermarket.

Italian Prosecco is very good in the bubbles department, and a snip at half the price.

Champagne and Vodka send me a bit potty. I think it's called a Polar Bear, Russian drink apparently, although I first drank it in Chamonix.

I have been known to drink a whole bottle of Lanson Black Label, and I can report that it does not give me a hangover :D

Did feel a little fragile mind you )

Santorini wine does not give you a hangover as it has no preservatives in it.
