I'll check it out... I never took to much of an affinity for wines... I drink honey mead seldomly, like once twice a year... I don't want the diabeetus.

I vaguely remember the bottle with ravens on it being quite tasty...

I had been advised to put down the liquer, drink wine and write poetry... I haven't been in poetic spirits in recent years... They would be abysmal and full of despair.

When I drink wine, I prefer biodynamic very dry red varieties. Normal wine has so many added chemicals these days.

I've had some good ones out of Italy in particular. If you go to a decent wine shop, an experienced staff person there should be able to help you select something based on your criteria.

Splendid, thank you for all the feedback.

I think I shall indulge in some mead and red wine this weekend, hopefully I'll get possessed and make a fool of myself.

If you like big flavor, try malbec. Malbec is a grape variety. The malbec from Argentina is excellent.

For something lighter and very quaffable, a Cote du Rhone from France is always enjoyable.

Rioja is Spanish wine which is usually affordable and very drinkable.

Mostly, I drink Australian shiraz. Shiraz is typically fruity in the red berry direction, and goes well with most food. Here in Oz, I can buy an excellent shiraz for ten dollars.

I happen to enjoy a nice Malbec more than Shiraz or Merlot.

Wish I could help. I like wine, but tend toward the sweeter/whiter kind. I know that this is not sophisticated......but i like them none the less.
I used to only drink sweet wines. But as I got older it started giving me heart burn. Eventually I moved to semi-dry, but there wasn't a lot of variety available and they were generally cheap-end. For the past year or two, I've been on dry wines. Recently I drank one of my old semi-drys and I couldn't believe how sweet it tasted, like drinking thick syrup. I guess its just acquired taste at the end of the day.

Malbec is def my favourite. If it were as affordable as shiraz I would probably drink little else. I got spoiled because my first taste of malbec was a thirty dollar bottle (Terra Rosa). Cosmic !

Thanks for the feedback... Been drinking Ravens Wood Zinfandel.. I can step it up a little at 8 USD a liter, it's still in that trash tier.

Zinfandel seems to be my medium though...

Get yourself a brewing kit. I make 9% alc cider and beer and it costs about 50c per litre. And it's excellent.

I was working on that a year or two ago.. Had an entire wishlist made, it's about 300 bucks to set up a budget home mead distillery.
