Hully - this lady has just had a glass too much of Rioja (Gran Reserva 2005). I like a gutsy red, even in its old age.

I'll still try it for free, though, even if it's so I can say, without compunction "no, it's shite"

The "mulled wine" I was bought once simultaneously cleaned and stained the loo, mind.

Wine you say - count me in Smile

Punkatheart · 23/01/2013 14:53

I think you should give ThreeBecomeFour the wine simply for that phrase 'I''m not a very successful lush!!'

Giggle.

Yay! Low alcohol wine! I usually have to stop drinking after the first couple of glasses total lightweight so this seems like a great idea :o

Doogle2 · 24/01/2013 08:13

EdwiniasRevenge · 24/01/2013 09:17

paranoidandroidwreckmyownlife · 24/01/2013 09:21

Ooh, I love a sweet rose wine, this could be good!!

gazzalw · 24/01/2013 12:24

Surely this will close soon - I do hope KatieB tells us how many Mumsnetters have applied....I get the decided impression we're a load of dipsomaniacs....Grin
