I'm opening the wine

[G3ntlemanJack]

Sod it. I've had a crap and difficult day and the thought of many more like this make me want to scream.

Anyone joining me??

Good stuff

Pre made porn star martini in hand

Bought 2 bottles in Tesco on the way home from work. Stressed so cheers!

Still unable to work from home, but perhaps that is a blessing or it’d be wine for breakfast.

@NightOwl19 well,

I bought a bottle of sipsmiths as standard. Then I went a bit ‘out there’ and bought some unknowns. Bottle of JJ Whitleys Black Cherry gin and a bottle of Raspberry meringue gin too.

I also have half a bottle of Parma violet gin and half a bottle of Mermaid gin.

I also, bought plenty of Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic for with them. Also some bitter lemon for if I fancy a change.

Also some elderflower cordial and sparkling apple juice, because that goes well with the sipsmiths if I fancy something more elaborate.

I also have raspberries, lemon juice and Peroni to make another unusual gin cocktail if I feel like it (sounds gross actually delicious, I learned it at the distillery down the road)

Any further questions??

I haven't got wine (I don't like it and I rarely drink) but I am sitting here nursing a cup of tea. It's a posh cuppa, too, rather than the Tesco stuff we use most days!

No wine here 😓, but have whisky and pink gin - deciding which to go with and then I will join you

Drunk too much wine last night!

Today was declared an emergency inset day, much to the delight of DDs

Violet G and T here. I am struggling. Trying to work with 1 year old and 5 year old, plus homeschool. Everything is falling down.

@soupforbrains can I come round please!!

I'm about to pour a tanqueray, fever-tree elderflower tonic and LOTS of ice and a slice of lemon - cheers!

We've opened a bottle every night so far without even thinking about it. It's not good.

Zinfandel here in West Yorkshire. It's my favourite red of the moment and good value too. It went well with the steak I just scoffed, and will partner Saturday's home-made pizza equally well. Bottoms up.

5pm is gin & tonic in my house

I had a glass or wine with lunch- I told the children that I was tasting it to make sure it was the right wine for dinner- they bought it.

More tasting tomorrow for breakfast I think.

@Escapeistheonlyoption drink it from a teacup - the kids need never know!

I've renamed my alcoholic drinks 'quarantini's' ...anytime after 2pm is fine with me.

@mynamesmrdiggety sure why not. But you’ll have to stay in the conservatory and I’ll serve you through the kitchen window so as to maintain social distancing...

I've just opened some fizz and it's going down a treat...I've waited all week for this!!

Anyone else?!

Finishing off the remains of a bottle of 'The Ned' sav blanc, then onto Goldwater - sav' blanc.

I'm a woman of fairly predictable tastes. . .

cheers everybody. The end of another working lockdown week!

Yep wine time here now , it's Friday .
I've waited till 8pm in the week but at weekends anytime is wine time .

drink it from a teacup - the kids need never know!

Genuis

My DH like this wine and always selects the right glass (a wine bore) is swigging red from what he obviously thinks is a casual french style tumbler befitting these times. It is an empty Nutella Jar

(yes I know they are meant to be used as glasses but it is amusing me)

Rather jaded from last night's Zoom pub quiz so I'm steering clear of my 15-bottle stash until tomorrow, which is my birthday. I feel an early start will be the order of the day.

I just had a gin and orange juice.

No tonic water in but had juice!

Oooo gin and orange , that was my drink of choice in the late 70s😆 I feel one calling now 🍷
