Thanks Frankie, always a good read!
A nice story coming out of Wales
First it was English winemakers that had vineyards in traditional wine-making regions such as France looking over their shoulder, now it is Wales, after a “deliciously fresh” pinot noir from Monmouthshire scooped a prestigious wine award. I'm assuming the price point is due to the quantity produced?
White Castle Vineyard’s “pinot noir reserve 2018”, a red wine that costs £25.50 a bottle, has become the first Welsh vintage to win a gold medal in the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA).

This thread is very sad for me now Frankstero. I prided myself on having a fine palate but Covid has ripped that out.
I 've been where you live. In those days, you couldn't buy a bottle of wine there, or pretty well anywhere. For my wedding reception I had to have a few crates brought over from England.
The 4 nuns got stuck into the sherry I went for Croft Original. Bit passé these days.
Got 48 bottles of Chateau Lafite and 6 of Petrus. Completely wasted on me now <weeps quietly>.
Plus a lot of other stuff. Prices have rocketed with the Chinese coming in.
I've quite a lot of a certain champagne, made famous by horrible rappers drinking it from the bottle. Love the "Lucozade" wrapping.
But I just love your threads. A decent staple diet on here.
I got an offer through the door, which isn't a good sign to be fair, of 6 bottles for twenty quid. I suppose like any of these things you can cancel your subscription after you get your "offer"

Has anyone tried Naked Wines?

The wine isn't bad that you get in the introductory offer. Nothing incredible but the kind of stuff that you'd get for £10-20 in a supermarket. It isn't too hard to cancel.

They are based in Norwich, opposite Chapelfield Gardens, near the Theatre Royal.

Thanks,
I would recommend the wine society. Been impressed with what i've had from them. A larger selection than Naked Wines who i also order from.

After the initial offer we thought it seemed far too expensive for the quality we got. We found that signing up for the wine club at Virgin Wines was better value.

Just had a bottle of red that I brought back from Calabria. Not wonderful but the more I had the better it seemed. But both Ms GL and I agreed that the bouquet had a definite and not unpleasant note of methylated spirits. How?
