Does it matter when you drink your wine?

23 comments


Well according to an article written by Robert Booth for the Guardian it does! It would seem that Tesco and M & S make sure they hold their wine tastings on ‘fruit’ days and never on a ‘root’ day… Given that this last weekend we had two ‘roots’ days perhaps your wine wasn’t as awful as you thought it was?

This is hilarious, never heard of such a thing! I would drink any day if I felt like it, if only I could. But my medication doesn't agree with it, sadly. :-(

So you know when not to drink Wagger? That would be Sunday 26th from 11am and all day on 27 28 April... given that one of those days is my birthday you can take it I'll be having a glass or two of wine :-)

Well, I think if I sling one down before 11 on Sunday I can forego the next two days without too much trouble. Good job it's not my birthday! Will toast you with green tea, Moon grower - both days as you are coy about which day.

Oh... okay 28 April and it will be my 60th!

I can see a problem with testing this. To ensure that the tasting is fair then you have to taste your wine from the SAME bottle every day through a cycle, about eight days. My question is - how do you make a bottle of wine last a whole week!!!!!!

Simple darling big bottle small glass... you only need to taste the wine not drink a whole glass full!

I don't dare comment!

21 Apr, 2009

 

Hum... I love you too dear :-)

21 Apr, 2009

60th 'ey? Congratulations! I do hope you have a lovely day!

Thanks Mookins :-)

Craftnutter nothing planned for 'the' day will probably just get on with working and playing in the garden

Ah, sounds idyllic, just my type of "party!" Peace and quiet. My hubby knows if he ever did a "surprise" party for me, I'd kill him.........!

is waiting with baited breath for the Campain for Real Ale to jump on this band wagon and tell me I can only drink beer on certain days gggrrrrrrr, lol

22 Apr, 2009

 

Ayjay... I am sure you are big enough to ignore any such instructions :-) If they do it would be on a flower day as hopes are flowers - giggle! Mind you CAMRA being CAMRA they would be more likely to tell you to drink twice as much on that day :-)
