Cheers to all the wine lovers!
I was also wondering what type of wine to send to my granny to Australia. She likes red wine and as I got it, Burgundy pinot noir should be really nice. There's a way to send wine overseas, I've heard of these guys: www.drinkablegifts.com/. Have you ever sent any wine through them? Are they good?

I have only recently started drinking red wine. This was due to a friend offering me some Jam Shed, an Australian wine. I really like it. You can get it at Tesco and at B&M

Any Mcguigans. My son had it at ours and jow buys it. Tesco Isla Negra is very light. Both good for starters.

I've just realised that this is another old, resurrected thread. I wonder if Kim0612, 'got' into red wine?
I used to love reds, but can't drink it these days. ?

I usually prefer McGuigan reds available in Asda. Great service and stuff there.

Really nice smooth whisky not disappointed easily best at the price. Was disappointed though that I paid £25.00 for a bottle at Ideal Home Exhibition. Was told it usually retailed at £36.00 still will look around in future.
