Wine snobs

[DDD]

Because of the current recession like, I've been looking to buy my swally in ever-greater quantities at ever-lowering prices. The Significant Spender is being forced (and complying) with the same remit.

She's settled (actually, almost horizontally settled) with a Calafornian Zinfandel at €2.99 a pop, while I have taken a liking to Lidl's cheapo-zonko (dry, white and excellently quaffable) at €1.73 for 1.5 ltr!

I posted elsewhere tonight to advise of my new-found delight of saving money and getting pissed on the proceeds when some git advised:

"If it costs less than £10 a bottle then it onlt deserves to go in the bin - you obviously dont undrestand the intracsies of wine".

Now, I'm sorry, but you are either pissed and can't operate a keyboard or you are swaggering knob that doesn't understand that acceptable tasting swally doesn't have to be expensive.

What thoughts do the dear inhabitants of the lower-priced VP have?

I am a wine snob ,   currently drinking my exclusive red.....8 euros for 5 litres ....

Tesco red at £3.30 a litre, in a  cardboard carton suits me...

Still getting ripped off though...plastic litre bottle of red in France in 90 cents...

I've been buying Baron d'Arignac at about €3.50 and picked up a load of Australian Cabernet and Californian Ruby Carbernet at Lidl last week for €2.99... 

Anybody that thinks wine needs to cost a certain price before it is drinkable is a c**t in my humble opinion....

Fruity and Silky 

Can you give me her number?

The only reason I can see to buy expensive wine is if you plan to "Lay it down" for your great-grandchildren...... as far as I am concerned they can buy their own!
I buy it to drink within weeks if not days so the less I have to pay the happier I am.

It tastes neither fruity nor silky... is it too late to ask for me money back like...?

At that price I'm surprised they can afford the ink to print all that on the box!

I expect the letters are produced by removing ink from the background colour....
