Jam Shed

[BunTooti]

Holy shit, why is it so sweet?!

A lovely friend gave me a bottle of Jam Shed Shiraz...do they do other reds?

Jesus, I love red wine, and after a pretty misspent youth I thought I still had an 'I'll drink ote' mentality, but, my god, this is difficult.

Of course I have only said a huge thank you. But does anyone enjoy this? Really?

YABU it's delicious
YANBU it's vile...and probably has actual jam in it

I think I'm going to have to have a gin and tonic and hope DH can use it in a recipe. It does say something about mulled wine on the back, too soon?

My BIL and Sister love it. I thought it was like drinking cold mulled wine.

So sweet! I have never met a red wine I couldn't drink before but this one defeated me.

I think DH chucked it in a stew in the end, even he couldn't drink it.

Did it not make the stew taste like jam?
I'd hate to waste it. It feels like a failure.

It is almost the worst wine I have tried but it's not as bad as Yellow Tail Jammy Rammy Roo.

I don't know Jam Shed but I bought some Barefoot Jammy Red and it was gopping. It's honestly the only red I've ever not been able to drink.

Me too!! I asked DH to grab me a bottle of something red while he was out and he came back with the Barefoot Jammy one. I filled a large glass, took a big swig and genuinely thought he had bought port by mistake . I hate wasting wine but I just couldn't drink it.

Same. It's the only red wine I've ever poured away. Absolutely gross.

Yes, agree that Jammy Red Roo is absolutely disgusting - an aberration of a red wine 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yes both the 'red wines' mentioned in this thread are absolutely vile and shouldn't be called red wines.

It's like when someone says they'll get a bottle of wine in and it's zinfandel or lambrini. (Yes MIL, I'm looking at you!)

My h loves it!!

Oh god. I'm so glad people are in agreement over Jammy Red Roo. Awful awful stuff! I'm into two particular reds at the moment: 19 Crimes - the dark red one, is it called the Banished or something? Also, Black Stump from Laithwaites. Highly recommend to lovers of red wine who don't enjoy sucking on a bag of Caster sugar!

well if its better chilled, freeze it in ice lolly molds

@BunTooti

I'd put Jam Shed down near port. My absolute favourites are Tempranillo and pinot noir...makes sense really.

I also love Tempranillo and Pinot noir. Heavy, dark reds. I still like Jam Shed.

Me and OH I love it and I am just polishing off a glass which accompanied our home made pizza. Odd as I am Not a fan of sweet things normally.

It’s one of the worst wines I’ve ever had. I can’t stomach it. My FIL loves it. I just can’t comprehend how anyone can.

@BunTooti

If it’s as bad as that you may as well do an experiment because you hate it anyway.

Stick the bottle in the fridge and see if having it cold dampens some of the sweetness of it so it’s more enjoyable.

Come back and let us know how you get on.

We found it salty as well as sweet and not in a good way. Neither of us liked it and didn’t finish the bottle.😝

Sorry no dp and I love it!

A colleague highly recommended it to me in August, the opened bottle is still in the rack, bleugh,

Clicked on this as I thought hoped someone had a shed for making jam. Like a man cave but with a worktop jar-steraliser and a mountain of sugar.

Gutted

Okay, I'll stick it in the fridge. For science!

Oh good!

It’ll be a bit weird because red wine feels like it should be not cold but some of it tastes better chilled.

Do come back and let us know how you got on.

I very much thought this was a euphemism

The brand name and the style of label tells you all you need to know.

Imagine turning up to a blind date to meet a man called Geoffrey wearing red corduroy trousers, flippers, an orange high visibility jacket and a deer-stalker. You would cross the road immediately and hope your don’t gain eye contact.

recommended it to me in August, the opened bottle is still in the rack

time to use it to clean the drains I think
