Equally nice white wines from Aldi but from the EU and the New World are available for a lot less though. There are some things we are good at but I'm afraid producing competitively priced wines is not one of them. I knowπ,we buy all our wines from Aldi & Lidl- but sometimes it is nice to buy an English wine for less than Β£15/16. I'd want a crate of wine for Β£16.

no I didn't miss the point. the carbon footprint for transporting a bottle of Argentinian wine to Southampton by sea is about a third of that of a bottle of Sicilian wine transported by road to Southampton No controversy there then. ....................... but I was referring to fresh food - as you are well aware if you read my post.

I have been known to buy chateauneuf du pape but this was not for my own consumption. I don't drink wine regularly. Occasionally have consumed some in social situations.
I find wine a bit effeminate.
Brouilly is quite nice for the woman occasionally.

I don't even understand this 'carbon footprint'; I thought trees liked CO2? They breathe it in and produce wood for burning in boat stoves) and oxygen for our respiration. If you want to reduce the CO2 footprint, stop drinking Coke and Pepsi - you know those bubbles that get up your nose? Pure CO2. Evil stuff. it is optimistic to expect a mere fox to comprehend the issue. I, for one, would hate to disillusion him.

I thought his post was pretty accurate apart from the bit where he suggested that trees breathe. Thats a bit too hippy really. Stopping coke and pepsi and countless other completely pointless consumption behaviours would be very helpful Why would anyone ever need to drink coke or pepsi in their lifetime?

Brouilly is quite nice for the woman occasionally. nearly all wines dry my mouth and leave me gagging for a refreshing beer.............. hate the stuff. after a lifetime of drinking coffee at work in locations all over the world, and making the best of the horrible stuff, I am now very glad to be able to drink a proper cup of builder's tea any time I want

Brouilly is quite nice for the woman occasionally. Paul's absolute favourite red vino is Amarone.It's great when Aldi have it(normally at Xmas) for about Β£14 as it can be well over Β£20.Yes,this is a special treat compared to our usual cheapo Toro Loco Aldi special!

I bet it's a Norwegian 'fake' farmed salmon - tell me I'm wrong. They are infested with lice, by the way.

They are infested with lice, by the way. lice are the least of the problems with Norwegian salmon ..... the main problem is they are fed on fish food made from sand eels caught in the most heavily polluted seas in the world ...... the Baltic
