Ruined weekend

Treated myself to a bottle of Prosecco last night, it turned out to be so sweet it was undrinkable. DH bought me a replacement today, clearly marked extra dry.

Its not only too sweet it has the flavour of cardboard.

😭

Has anyone else had a similarity terrible weekend yet?

My favourite curry take away place is closed

Noooooooooo, the long term loss of a good curry definitely tops my short term drinking woes!

Why are you drinking a bottle of prosecco two nights in a row? Is it a special occasion?

This would upset me

@smallshinybutton to date I have drunk no Prosecco as they were both gross! That’s the issue!

Oh I see! Did your DH drink it? Maybe he prefers it sweet and dry

User562377 · 30/09/2023 19:05

Maybe you're pregnant or have covid and that's why things taste wrong. I guess that could make your weekend better or worse....

The nail polish I ordered clashes with my top. Thinking of cancelling the night out. Wouldn't enjoy it.

Dontknowwhattodowithmyselfnow · 30/09/2023 19:06

Read. The. Post. The first one was too sweet to drink so she was treated to a second one. Also... of she wants to drink two bottles of prosecco in two night, two hours or two minutes... mind your business. That's all

OooohAhhhh · 30/09/2023 19:06

I'd love a sweet Prosecco, all the ones I try seem too dry. Which one was it?

HeyMicky · 30/09/2023 19:06

The fun police are out tonight 🙄

I didn't get to have a nap this afternoon - I really had to push on through at the pub

Sometimes it's these small things we spend all week looking forward too that become the most disappointing when they fail!

I spent all week looking forward to the cooked breakfast I was making ds and I this morning - then I didn't quite get my fried eggs right.

I was NOT happy Grin

It seems she didn't drink the first one.

CassieRole · 30/09/2023 19:07

Sadly they have gone down the drain, sweet wine has no place in my household!

I'm supposed to be camping with my Scout Group. I'm at home with covid instead and everything tastes odd....my favourite chicken curry tasted like turnips and the BBQ chicken strips I pinched from my kids tasted just like chicken with no hint of BBQ Confused

Can I join in. I entered the wrong registration in a car park thing so had to re enter it and pay twice!!

Quittingthyme · 30/09/2023 19:09

Prosecco labelling isn't quite the same as wine when it comes to sweet and dry. Extra dry generally denotes sweet. If you're looking for a dry prosecco, you need a Brut.

@smallshinybutton , what's it to you how much op drinks?

@jays (headtilt) you ok hun?

Fancyfencepost · 30/09/2023 19:10

Prosseco is gross , try a champagne or a nice white instead.

also, curry house closed…. Disaster!
