Topic: The "recommend a wine" thread

Hi all,

Just thinking ahead to getting some wine in for Christmas and I realised there are some gems out there, but finding them can be hard if you're not into wine. I don't tend to go above

In my humble opinion, Tokaj is the King of wines and is seldom bettered!

A good job I brought back three bottles from Hungary, then !

Sorry, my friend, I'm from Lanarkshire, so I can only recommend Buckie.

Hi NJ
Are you talking about wine for drinking at anytime?
or wine to be paired with certain BIR dishes and spices.

If your looking at under a fiver, I'd recommend French Cuv

Hi, thinking of general drinking really, but will be good if people just recommend their favourites - it'll be useful to someone I'm sure

Don't know much about wine but on the odd occasion I do buy a bottle, I usually get a nice full bodied red Cabernet Sauvignon.

Usually Australian, but I've had some pretty good ones from other countries like S.Africa and Chile (not the really cheap ones from there though).

Hi NJ

I saw a wine "expert" discussing tips on how to select good wines and avoid supermarket scams on tv the other day. This article i found below pretty much covers what he said, take a look
