The Gin Trend is causing Ginflation ?

[PeakyBlindersIsTheBest]

DP is taking me to a very naice restaurant on Saturday for my birthday
We went yesterday to have a quick lunchtime drink & a general nosey . I’m love a G & T but was floored that they wanted £14 for one ! Guess it will be tap water with the meal 😂

Hmmm I tend to drink nice gin at home now!

iklboo the Sheffield one, can't book for this year yet, tickets not out as it's usually September time.
YY to the tasters, lol

I've never been to a Ginfestival, want to go now

Have a look to see if there's one near you...

Recommend them Sauvignon - good afternoon / night out.

I agree with those saying plain ordinary Gin without all the extra flavours is the way go. I just don't get why they feel it's necessary.

I love gin. Our local does the big goblets with various fancy garnishes and choice of different Fever Tree tonic waters. £8 for a double but it feels like a real treat so I'm happy to pay it.

Doesn't plain old Gordon's generally win out in these blind tests?

To me Gordons is fucking vile, can't stand the stuff even when bollocksed, it depends on your taste though as I know quite a few people who rate it... heathens

Is that a super fancy gin then? I'm sure they must sell a Gordon's?

I had a nice Bombay Sapphire and Fever Tree slimline last night for £4.90. No way would I pay £14 for one drink.

Holy Jesus

I prefer drinking gin at home or in the airport lounge, where the bottle is left out and you can mix your own...

I'm so into gin my OH bought me a gin rack from a guy who makes them in Southampton. www.slatewineracks.co.uk/. Mine's Portland stone. That's how dedicated I am! 😂

I love a good gin, but confine my gin drinking to home these days.

It's a ridiculous sum of money to ask for a G&T!

It’s the new prosecco. It’ll pass.

Was in a pub in Glasgow last week which had a gin menu. If you didn't order a double of the fancy gin you didn't get in a fancy glass - singles in ordinary glasses only. They were serving everything with a slice of grapefruit whether it suited the gin or not. I ordered a Gordons and tonic from the gun. It was £3 and tasted the best of everything.

In our local the tonic (Fever Tree) is as expensive as the Gin - I said can I just have a schweppes Tonic? No, they only sell Fever Tree - making a G&T £6 instead of about £4.50 like it used to be.

Fuckers

I just don't get why they feel it's necessary
Because it makes nice flavours, Oli. I like a simple gin sometimes, but the flavours of different botanicals are nice too. Depends on my mood. It’s a bit like wondering why people think apple juice, cranberry juice etc are necessary when orange is perfectly nice.

£19 in a 4 star hotel in central london

Wow- do they do a 70 bottle- that its how many bottles I have. Always been a gin drinker but I have had enough- many craft gins are crap- sorry!!

I was charged £29 for two cocktails in London once. Floored.
