Category:All Things Alcoholic
Although this page is a favourite of mine, because it is a good excuse to open a bottle of wine, it will also includes some fruit punches, kids cocktails and more boozy cocktails, in fact anything that I think that will appeal to my friends, as long as it comes out of a bottle or out of a juice carton. Quite importantly, I always have an eye open for bargain wines and special offers.

Review: Lion’s Gate Sauvignon Blanc Semillion
This Sauvignon Blanc came from Tesco’s again in the half price offers, I paid £4.49 for it. I love a glass of chilled white wine at any time of day, this wine is best described as elegant, nothing about it says plonk! From the western cape of South Africa the wine makes you think of …

Review: Christmas Crackers
This year I have found 2 little gems for you at a price that means you can have a festive Christmas. They are the Tesco range of Simply Wines and the 2 I have found we like the most, first are the Pinotage from the South Western Cape, it is bold, full of fruit and a …

Crystal Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
It has been a while since I put a new wine up, that has been due to the fact that I have not come across any really special wines that I considered in the correct price bracket for everyday drinking, there are hundreds of wonderful wines out there but a lot of them are quite …

Girls this is for you, pure indulgence, light scented candles and soak in the bath, with soft music playing sipping the prosecco, pathway to heaven, although make sure it is chilled before you start, or you could chose to share it on a sunny evening sat in the garden but I warn you a bottle …

Stormhoek Pinotage
The label on the bottle describes this wine as big,rich and ripe and that’s all it says, which in the world of wine is slightly different, it is South African and quite a powerful 14%, it made me curious so I had to try it. It is not amazing but at £3.99 you are not …

The Whale Caller
Cheap yet classy is the best way to describe this crisp coastal South African Sauvignon Blanc-Colombard wine. I bought it at Waitrose for £3.99 which is a real bargin, yes it was on offer and should be £4.99 which would still be cheap for such a good wine. I really enjoy buying my wine at …
