£7.50 a bottle in t'Co-op

Sadly Sandra lives in the posh part of Scotland where there's no Co-ops to be found.

I can get two bottles of really nice Shiraz in Aldi for that,
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.

Ooh, no, we have a Co-op Phloppy (though it's shite). I'll go in tomorrow and get some, Oyster Bay's one of my favourites. Thank you .xx

Can you get Napa Valley (California) wine in the UK?

But Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is the favoured wine for quite a few of us on here.

Others prefer the red stuff.

I'm sure that we're all spotting a theme here.

I had a bottle of grapefruit gin at Christmas. It was probably the very nicest gin I've ever had. OH has had to stop me rushing out and buying another one, as we both feel it would spoil the treat having it any time we fancied it.

Mind, I fancy the orange one now.

I've not tried the grapefruit gin, I have a rhubarb one I've not opened yet. I buy a grapefruit at the weekend and put it in plain gin and tonic, much nicer than a slice of lemon or lime.
