for the lushes trying to drink less wine

[zippitippitoes]

have you tried

only buying wine at more than £10.00 a bottle
keeping the empty bottles where you finished them
not washing the empty glasses
waiting until after 9.00pm to open a bottle
keeping the bottle in the kitchen

can you think of some more?

Threshers is shit CD,but hard to turn down a 3 for 2 offer when it's good Champagne.

Best ploy is not to buy.I have very expensive taste in wine,which works quite well in rural North Wales as the good wine merchants are a good 1/2 hour away and I sure as hell aint desperate enough to drink
Chateau Pissoir or Kangaroo's Armpit which is all the supermarkets seem to have.

yes that is where the wine soc or the like step in

I have to exercise willpower as we always have at least 200 bottles in the house

WWW how fab is it local (said in league of gent styleeee)

Moondog, Sainbury's white burgundy at £4.99 is very nice imo. But maybe you don't want to know?! Cd, have emaile doyu.

I did get overly fond of Laithwaite's at one stage...
Takes a Herculean effort not to take the catalogue to bed with me to drooooool over.

WWW,my nearest S is an hour away!
Good thing really..one supermarket I do quite like.

i like this thread......

we have a Lea and Sandeman down the road and also our majestic has just got a fine wine pod which is divine I can't resist a Chateau de Beaucastel..... SLURP!!!!

Have compromised with a shezza to avoid opening bottle of wine

Fine wine pod??
Tell me more.
Am imagining some temp. controlled inner sanctum accessible only to the chosen few via key pad which operates incredibly smooth door mechanism.

yes is exactly that but anyone can go in, dh and I blew a bloody fortune in there not long ago

i get very nervous when dd is in there!

Hmm have guzzled shezza, should I go and get some wine?

Well,that decision is between you and your maker CD (says she sipping a peppermint tea)

Well as Mark Twain said, the only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.

Bloody hell

Does that mean I will be healthy if I drink malibu?

Malibu!!
One of my relatives (not blood hasten to add) adds a slug to her instant coffe before zapping it in the microwave.

god how vile

she probably washes her hair in baileys

Oh that's naffer still
Inexplicably dh has a weak spot for it.
Invariably returns fron Turkey each time slightly pissed on it after wangling double doses from flirty cabin cres.

I only like wine, rum and vodka really

Can do the odd beer

Why not only buy wine en primeur from a broker and keep it in bond for 10yrs +, you get all the pleasure of choosing now, but not the temptation of having stuff around the house. I think WWW's idea of champagne is really good, I don't think twice about cracking open a bottle of white, but would never dream of opening champagne unless I had a v good excuse.

whoops double vision!

(oh and only caribbean rum not bloody bacardi or captain morons)

i never dirnk wine witht he meal as i find that you drink it like water
i eat firts then drink

cod are you pissed?

cod are you pissed?

oh nothing is just your typing worse than usual
