Wine that more or less

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Tastes like piss.
At a 70s fancy dress birthday party at a Rigny club for those that care.£17.95 for a bottle of wine that is worth £3 max.I know I'm being a kill joy but my God.

Rigny =Rugby

I was wondering what a Rigny club was!

Ah, OP, that sucks. Is there any food to take the taste away between slurps? If not, just keep drinking until you inevitably like it.

What are you dressed up as?

I wouldn’t expect rugby club wine to be top notch, maybe move on to the shorts.

That’s shit. I’d switch to spirits if possible!

So are you saying the wine was a Sauvignon blanc? Because it is suppose to taste of cats piss.

I'm dressed fairly subtly to be fair,my outfit can found on a thread in style and beauty lol.The wine is actually Sauvignon blanc which usually tastes like top grade piss when I buy it

Ha! I do know my booze

@CountFosco so do I which is why I'm resenting this wine!

Yeah, sauv blanc has become the house wine everywhere these days, and I can't stand it! Is there a rose you could drink instead?

Clearly a vintage from a particular field in the Dordogne. You’re meant to sip it from a thimble. Are you trying to fill a large goblet with this nectar from the Good Lord’s Finest Grape??? Shame on you! Clearly you’re a heathen!

@Segregate oh no this was one up from the house wine!!

Only thing to do is to empty it into the nearest plant pot - go back to the bar and drink vodka....

Even good Sauv is disgusting. You couldn't give me a bottle.

Well I've spilt a glass all over my poor mother who's dressed like a punk,so thats one I've got rid of!

Wine is the one drink that needs to be good quality. I'll drink pretty much any cheap spirits or crappy beer if that's all that's available, but wine needs to be good.

You can smell the piss fumes from a nasty sauv as soon as the bottle is opened. And it tastes worse than it smells. I once wanted to sprinkle a bottle we won around the garden, and see if the cats responded by remarking their territory against the intruder. But dp insisted on drinking it, and paid the next day.

Right fuck it,I'm getting a voddy

I do like a chilean sauvignon blanc 🤔 most white stone can be rescued with a non puritan dash of white (lemonade) although some might call you a heathen for it 😂

And I'm loving that your mum is dressed as a punk 🤩

Never drink the one up from the house wine OP. It's always the worst wine & biggest margin. They know most people think "Oh I can't just buy the house wine" so they choose the next up.

Get the house wine. Someone has tried it and chosen it as the house wine, it's often surprisingly ok.

Also, wherever possible, order a chardonnay where there is one. It's unpopular and got a negative rep among try hards due to the "anything but chardonnay" fad. As a result, there are some lovely chardonnays very reasonably priced.

Avoid NZ SB. It's because such a huge marketing operation that the crappest stuff is flooded on to the UK market, people recognise it so bars and restaurants like to stick an NZ SB, any NZ SB (No matter how poor) on their menu.
