Title: What is your favourite?
Post by: mars on 15 March 2008, 20:21:25
What is your favourite tipple? Me, I like pale strong bitters, continental lagers (Stella is my favourite), Gin and Tonic (Gordons with Schweppes) and occasional whisky (a nice single malt). ;)

Not keen on red wine, brandy or rum. :(

It has to be Jack Daniels or Stewarts Cream of the Barley for me.

I know this will be a surprise to the forum members  ;) ;)but I enjoy the odd occasional tipple (whisky)
Cheap stuff for hour to hour day to day use. Isle of Jura or similar for best.  :D

I am lucky, only one thing ever gives me a thick head and that's red wine so I avoid it.

I no how you feel I am the same, In my younger days I could drink as much as I liked, but not now. In the pub it is 2 pints of lager max.
At home it has to be Southern Comfort straight, absolutly nothing in it.

Cider - like Bulmers Original and Scrumpy Jack
Lager - Budvar or Staropraman
Wine - various - nicest was a late season German white from a German company we knew - wasn't ice wine but nearly as good

I forgot about Southern Comfort, love it on it's own.
   Regarding the Vera Lynn....sorry the smell makes me blow chunks! It's unnatural like drinking perfume or anti freeze :'(

Hmmm, i have a lot of faves, depends of what i am in the mood for

Larger/White beer - Stella or Hooegarten or Cuscenya

Wine is always red for me - Chateauneuf du pape

White Wine is always fizzy and answers to - Bollenger or Veuve Clicquot  unless iam REALLY flush and then it is something like Dom Perignon - Vintage Rose 1996

My Whisky collection has shrunk a little recently

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4787/dscf2326zn3.jpg)

The Jura that is in the box is an Import.....and has a slightly smoother taste than the normal one

I don't drink a great deal believe it or not

Seeing as I don't drink, Mrs TB has removed the stella from the 'beer shelf' in the fridge and filled it up with some gay wine she has a taste for at the moment. Some kind of Californian White Grenach.  Not really to my taste, but then wouldn't be, seeing as I don't really drink....

pint of Marstons Pedigree.

I have to make do with lager - Alhambra 1925 is very pleasant. Cruzcampo for every day. San Miguel is what tourists drink!!

It is 1032 days and 8 hours since my last pint of Pedi!

Beer = Caffreys's

Spirits = Jack Daniels

Wine...   anything good,
 Dry crisp, lightly fruit scented whites,  any source mostly..
and fruity full bodied reds, Italian usually...  a really good Valpolicella is always popular...

used to have a thing for Muscadet , but good ones are harder to find these days, and Blanquette de Limoux is definitely our favourite bubble source

Wifey is a Southern Comfort imbiber, and White wine only....  the only red I ever found that she liked was a ribena tasting thing from germany....  

  a Bubbly red actually went down quite well Xmas before last....    haven't seen it since, it was a gift....  and a very nice one too!
