What are you drinking tonight?

Red wine should normally be served at room temperature, but that room temperature should be that of a room about 70 years ago. ie, cool.
So if it gets too warm it’s absolutely fine to refrigerate for a while 🍷👍

Interested in this, everyday's a schoolday! I tried some local vino in Mallorca this summer, it sat at a room temp of 19/20 degrees indoors then it would come outside for dinner and air temp would be mid 20s+ but I really like red wine drinking in that temp. Never had any inclination to chill it. Along with some local cheeses and a bit of deli and salad - fantastic.
 
Christ no, but if you’re drinking export strength a dash of water can mellow it a little-though I prefer if neat 🥃
And cask strength topped up if the water makes it taste'weak'!
The Scottish Malt Whisky Society in Lieth or Holborn is highly recommendable!
 
Not quite an Autumnal mead, but a couple of hells Camden Lager and Laid Back Lagers from M&S. Lovely stuff to top another win off.
 
Do you not feel a bit dirty drinking beer that is connected to another prem team. Camden Lager is Arsenals partner. In the same way, Carlsberg can shove it, and it's pee.

Haha I’m not that bitter Murph!!

I didn’t even know that and you’re right Carlsberg is utter pish.
 
If of an afternoon BBQ or the like, you fancy something like a wine but with low or zero alcohol - then Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Alcohol-Free Riesling is by far the best that I've tried. It's twice the price of all the other low or zero alcohol offerings out there - but the rest aren't anywhere near half as drinkable. This at least IMO is drinkable. From your local Waitrose.
 
Just enjoying a few tins of Tangle Foot ale in the late afternoon sun, house is full of the smell of roast lamb which will be ready in half an hour. Bottle of Pinot noir at the ready... now if only Jack Leach can block out for another 24 overs 😁
 
It's my G'daughter's 18th and she is hosting a small family party tonight. We have been promised a fabulous selection of cocktails that she has 'invented'. If I can remember anything about it, I'll post some details when I recover.

Quiet glass of white here to get through this last session! something a bit better if the unimaginable happens!
 
NOTHING!!!

Was at a husband and wife double birthday party last night. Only has 3 beers and 4 champagne's.... I think.

Bed at 2am and out at 8am to prep the Greens for today's bowling comp... Tres K-nackered.
 
Enjoyed a couple of these earlier in the Jigger Inn after some putting on the Himalayas, love St Andrews.
Nice drop imo.
