Could it be Merlot?

Gary Barlow can now add expert winemaker to his CV - the singer, tax-dodger and X Factor judge has launched his own range of organic Spanish wines, and they sound wonderful, unlike his recent records.

Gary has joined forces with Benchmark Drinks for his Gary Barlow Organic range, which includes both a red and a white wine.

The Gary Barlow Organic Red is described as being “a juicy, unoaked wine, displaying aromas of red wild berries with a touch of rosemary and chocolate. The medium body and beautiful balance between the good fruit concentration, fresh acidity and fine tannins, make it a highly versatile food wine to match tapas, pasta, KP Skips and a wide range of savoury and meat dishes.”

While the Gary Barlow Organic white is a “pale bright in colour, displaying aromas of lime and pear cut by a gentle note of anise. It shows a zesty, lingering lime palate. A refreshing wine, perfect to be drunk in summer with salads, doner kebabs, poultry and light seafood dishes.”

The Gary Barlow Organic range will be available exclusively in Morrisons stores from 9 October and from garybarlowwines.com, and each bottle will set you back £8, unless you buy it through your business & can illegally claim the VAT back in true GB fashion.

Mmmm - I'm getting... crushed grapes?

"... with a touch of rosemary and chocolate..."

Not even with my KP Skips.

How could you tell the difference?
Oh yes. Piss is warmer.

I recall Simon Mayo reporting that he'd been hit on the head by a plastic bottle of warm lager at an open air gig once. No, that wasn't lager.

Hope for his sake it's better than where that link goes.
