And the alcohol for tonight is....?

Primarily a Friday and Saturday night thread for people to discuss their favourite tipples. Their latest Gin or Whisky collection or maybe the local ale.

 

Asda price

 

Ooooh, you lot are a bunch of cruel teasers, I can not touch a drop of the golden stuff namely Scottish Wine! Medication is too strong.....oh boy, wishing nature would just get on with it!

 

We're self isolating at the moment and doing online shopping as a result. ASDA delivered us a bottle of Sherry this afternoon complete with security tag

Hope it’s a false alarm.

 

Hope it’s a false alarm.

My lad tested positive about 10 days ago so we're under house arrest until Wednesday, he's fine though.

 

I don't know how to respond to that Jennyjet except to say "stay strong". I know that sound unfair to you but it's meant as supportive. Life can be a ***** (pardon the French).

Good to hear.....that he’s fine that is, not that he tested positive!

I share the sentiments of those expressed by others. Life can be incredibly cruel sometimes but we have to stay strong and make the most of it. I hope you have a better day tomorrow Jenny.

 

Thank you boss and to others. I attack each day with intent and everyone else should do likewise.

 

Carpe diem!

 

Precisely.

 

Pinot Grigio tonight.

 

Diet pepsi!!

 

Caribbean Crush Lucozade. Alcohol is currently banned.

 

I did have a large brandy this evening. We usually drink when we go out for meals or have visitors. The last time we went out for a meal was early November immediately before the four-week lockdown and now we are in tier 3. So no visitors and no going out for meals in the lockdown or now in tier 3.

Mrs Yoke, who can take or leave alcohol, has been teetotal since early November, as was I until this evening. I can't say I feel any better or any worse after my near five-week abstinence.

 

I am not missing it yet but a Brandy is oh so tempting.

 

A surprisingly agreeable Aldi Malbec from Argentina. And a bargain to boot!.

 

I picked up a bottle of Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon in our local Co-Op with £1.50 off, making it much more affordable. It's currently warming by the radiator (I hate chilled reds). I also have a nice Camembert cheese, which should go nicely with it.

(my spellchecker wants to change 'Casillero del Diablo' into 'Casserole del Diabolic' ).

I am feeling good today so I am having a Spanish red with supper and have ordered a bottle of Malbec with my farm boxes on Monday. I hope it is worth the good reports and the price!

 

A couple of small Ben Bracken Islay malts from Lidl.

 

I have a bottle of Port ready and waiting for later, looking forward to it.
