I avoid during the day. Even Champagne puts me to sleep in the day.
Evenings, always wine, and sometimes a G&T, and very occasionally a Whisky on the rocks.
There is wine and wine, and the trick is finding ones you like, for whichever the occasion. Tonight with the roast we start with a chilled Gewurztraminer, (always from Alsace, although from Alto Adige works), and then a C-D-P Rhone red.
