To think that a bottle of Black Tower does not really match my request

[ALMummy]

for a decent bottle of white wine as this is what DH has returned from Tesco with. Well am I?

Oh dear, he has much to learn.

Is he in the spare room tonight

YANBU.

Just regard it as "post-ironic" and dead trendy.

......am not sure.....

I am not averse to a bottle of 'black tower', but as a decent bottle, I can;t say it is.

now, banrock station, or jacobs creek, well, then that would be more my idea

YANBU. Insert it into your DH where the sun don't shine and he'll soon get the message.

check the sell by date - is it after 1979?

Do they still make Black Tower? Not seen them in years.

LOL at Furball

Just googled. According to BBC news, the company relaunched BT in 2002 to appeal to a younger market. The company spent 1 million quid to win over younger drinkers.

Did anyone notice?

whilst yanbu I am sort of fascinated that you can find this still (as heard about the relaunch of this -and apparently they relaunched blue nun at about the same time) and as to what was going through your dh's head to think "yes dw would like that"

I divorced my first husband solely becuase he put a bottle of red wine in the fridge on our honeymoon. I could not bear to be with someone so unrefined.

DP thought bhe would really spoil me with a bottle of cherry lambrini

I lauched him

Kindersurpise - I doubt many of us count as younger drinkers...is this not what a 18 year old uneduated uni student may take to a dinner party.

ALMummy - send him back!

at cod can't say I blame you.

I think there is a method to his madness. I probably have a drink only every six months or so and when I do I like a lovely bottle - Drylands my favourite - and will usually pay between £10 and £15. He is thinking if he can get this one past me then he wont have to shell out that much in the future. Don t think that a decent bottle of wine every 6 months (or more!) is that much to ask.

sorry but i love black tower stone me now and im not that young or a student

That can't be Cod... the spelling is immaculate.

What sort of white do you like ??

We will give you some suggestions then he can jolly well go and get a decent bottle for you.

And if he has already had a beer and can't drive, tell him to get a taxi.

He will think twice about penny pinching in the future.

Haha Mn is classy tonight with one mner drinking black tower and another on the Concorde...

Sauvignon is my favourite. I like nice light, pale, crisp white wine. Not big on Chardonnay or anything heavy or syrupy and I like New World wines preferably New Zealand as they use less additives and fertilisers on their grapes. I love Drylands, a New Zealand Sauvignon that I used to get at Oddbins but sadly they dont stock it anymore. Would be grateful for any suggestions that fit my criteria.
