Very true.
Beyerskloof 1836 isn't too bad either.
As a Devon boy though I do like real scrumpy & decent craft ales.
Earl grey is good too Graham.

There is too much snobbery surrounding the whole subject.
I find it's best to keep an open mind and sample as many as you can - it's amazing how many new favourite tipples you can discover that way and not all of them high cost related.
Too many good malts to name a good 15 year old, I would take a selection of them to my desert island.

My favoured 'everyday' drink is a cider, Thatchers or preferably Rattler.
For fizzy pop its Piper-Heidseck and for a spirit Pear Grey goose is the one! Or a Tanquerey 10!!
My uncle used to tell me that there were three types of Devon Cider. Laughing Cider Sleeping Cider and Fighting Cider. He made his own which resulted in my first ever hangover when I was 17.

Richard, I would agree but if you find one you like then life is good, as is trying out the competition. Paying more doesn't always mean better.

Can any of you gentlemen help? Having given up alcohol 13 years ago, the two things I miss most are a really refreshing ale and a good white desert wine (weirdly, not what I used to drink at all). So I think it's time to have the odd bottle - but what to choose? This whole craft beer microbrewery thing didn't really exist last time I bought anything. I do fancy a nice hoppy IPA but not a heavy malty one - something more astringent and citrussy. And nothing too far above 5% abv. Anyone got any tips?  I can only comment on white desert wines. Try a sweet riesling. Not too sweet and quite refreshing. Gewurztraminer is my favourite, whether as a straight white wine or a desert wine. It has many styles and some overlap. Otherwise Muscat can be pleasant as a desert wine. All from Alsace.........................

I only ever drink with/after food and never before 18:00 unless it is a special occasion!
Red wine? pinot noir, merlot, cabinet sauvignon or malbec.
I really don't like shiraz, at all.
Don't really mind where from, other than I find that mostly I do not like wines from S Africa or Argentina.
Rarely pay more than £10.00 at Majestic.
Beer? not much interest these days. Occasionally Hopback Summer Lightning or Crop Circle.
Spirits? Tallisker or Highland Park are all I need, a bottle lasts months.
Coffee: I've become a Nespresso Addict.

I don't drink alcohol. Mine's usually a sparkling mineral water.

Stuart, Try Greene King IPA - 3.6% and a very hoppy flavour
