Topic: Favourite type of wine Posted: November 08 2009 at 12:15 |
I just bought a big bottle of a Hungarian dry red wine "Egri Bikaver" today and I'm lovin' it! And you? BTW, "Egri Bikaver" means "Bull's Blood".

Red, but not sweet.
Actually in this country red wines are not described as dry or semi dry..only whites are. Reds are sepearted by their fullness of body.

Drier reds... used to be very much a white person... most of them just don't have the bite for me any more.

The sweeter and with a saucerful of flavors of a red it is, the more I like it.

It would depend on if its Summer (Dry White) or Winter (Dryish Red)
I like the occasional Fino too! (With some olives)

I am a beer man, so this will be quite telling...
Probably my favorite wine is the house blush wine at Olive Garden. It's basically a sweet, sweet white zinfandel.
Otherwise, I like Sauvignon Blanc (white) and a decent Merlot (red- Smoking Loon is a good label).

My grandfather used to make that superb wine too, God bless his soul and rest him in peace! Later edit: actually the fruit my grandfather was using is not blackberry but, according to my dictionary, gooseberry / black currant.

Man, don't be so USA-centric, in many European countries, there's drinking age of 18 (mine for example), I heard about even 16-years countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age#Americas -it's quite confusing in case of States
And to be honest, I drink since my 13 years (back then just few times a year), but kids now are drinking since something like 10, or 8. Times are wild :-D opportunities are countless. And OK, if something, then red wine. Don't ask which one, I don't know.

It is annoying. If I am allowed to die in a different country, give myself cancer, and waste money on the lottery, why can't I drink alcohol?
It doesn't stop teens from drinking, it just makes them go to jail if they get caught.
