Great Beers, Lagers, Spirits!!

I drink very little white wine, usually Sancerre.

A lot of red, including:

A good bourgogne is very hard to beat.

A lot of Beaujolais wines, such as Morgon (oh yes), Brouilly (in summer, chilled), Julienas. Beaujolais nouveau is fun but obviously not a great wine.

Saint Emilion, Haut-Medoc and Saint Julien in terms of Bordeaux's.

I had a red when in Sancerre and quite nice.

I like Murphy's and Guinness a lot but only in Ireland. Bars and pubs in England (or London) don't understand how to look after it, not to mind pour it.

Lagers - Leffe, by a distance. Erdinger great too. Peroni in bottles.

Majestic for wine, and regular supermarkets for pretty-much everything else.

Actually I am floundering with their list.

The white burgundys are an arm and leg. I used to pay a bit for a Vincent giradin bottle which was wonderful but they don't stock it now

This is a good Loire at a price

Pouilly Fumé area is 2km from Sancerre, very close. Very nice. If you drove and drink a bit during the year, it'd pay a decent part of your trip.

How about this for drinking.

A mate of mine with what I reckon is a zinc stomach started a day at Cheltenham with a bottle of 20/20 (don't ask...it's disgusting) followed by knocking back all afternoon a half bottle of neat gin watched down by endless pints of strongbow

The next day he reckoned he could have sh#t through the eye of a needle
 
Is there a better combination than a Great Steak with a delicious Red?

Please let me know as I'm struggling to find one.
 
A large dish of sour grapes with plenty of Reds always goes down well. :D

Moving on:
Lager - Kronenbourg
Beer - Wainwright or Landlord
Spirit - Vodka/tonic
Wine - depends on mood and food

Don't be a p.rick all the time Archie, you're better than that ;)

Anti Liverpool comments on a thread about food and drink really is desperate old chap.

Don't be paranoid, Harry. There are Reds that are more significant than Liverpool to a Mancunian. Dave G will confirm that I'm perfectly reasonable with reasonable Liverpudlians. Having a stepson who's an Evertonian ensures I give out a fair amount of stick to the toffee apples as well. I'd also suggest that anyone who thinks a 'let's all laugh at Celtic' thread is witty gives up the right to be precious about his own club.

As it happens, I think I'd rather have garlic chilli chicken and a gewurtzraminer than steak and a big red but I wouldn't want it every day.
