red wine

I really hope it isn't the wine that's doing it! Do you actually like red wine, or drink it often?

i can actually feel it in my bones, every single bit of me just feels broken...like i have been drugged or poisoned, this has been going on for 12 hours now

(I have no idea how it might go)

had a bottle of this last night with some grilled flank steak. really good bottle for the price.

and it was made by Batman

Batman has people to do this for him. He just sips, purses his lips and expresses his satisfaction or displeasure, while they kneel before him with expectant looks. If the wine is crap, his goons know what to do.

(red wines never been friends of mines)

Man, I think this wine I bought has double fermented in the bottle. Can't tell if that's the case or if it's just shit wine. That's what I get for grabbing a bottle of Yellow Tail in the small market downstairs from my apartment.

I got totally lied to here by Ocado. Good grief! This is like drinking fucking Bombay ink. I am going to try Tesco next week for some below the radar, nice cheap plonk. if such a thing still exists.

So ... who here has tried Sainbury's Basics Red Wine (Currently £2.89)?

probably like piss and I say this as seasoned imbiber of cheap wine. Anything cheap and nice doesn't seem to stay under the radar for long. Asda did a beautiful cheap Malbec a few years back, it won some awards and next thing it has been moved to the £6 + range. I bet it can't be any worse than Tesco's budget "Fruity Red Wine" which is £3.65 and makes one think the grapes must have pissed off the gods or something. Lol I got a 3l box of it the other week #lifeofabonviveur

I bought two bottles. The first I thought "This would probably be all right as a drunken second bottle and/or with some food". The second (not on the same night) I thought "I'm never drinking this again."

(I presume its not always the same wine and there's some variation).

these Italian tv chefs often say "then add some good wine into the pan" I often make delicious sauces and gravies with some bad wine, so it does have its uses.

Cooking with good red wine is the worst kind of savagery. That's what cheap piss is for (although those little one-glass bottles you get in supermarkets work pretty well).

I just looked this up. The grapes are from somewhere in Spain (so probably bought from all over and blended) and since it says it's only 10.5% alcohol they were probably all underripe. Dry red wine should really get to at least around 12-13%.

Malbec. Look on satellite maps, they're all made in a tiny plot of foothills near Mendoza, Argentina, and I've never encountered a bad one.

France has some malbec (cot) too but it's almost never shitty.

I've had bad chilean malbec quite often

Usually malbec is a pretty straightforward wine. People like it because it's kind of medium all around and fruity.
