Anyone like a bit of wine? For all you sophisticates? Doesn't get better than a red merlot!

I do like wine, but I can't drink it. I'm not a sipper and I generally finish my glass as soon as its on the table.

This tends to go very badly for me with wine.

I understand what you mean by "sugary" - but wine and cider have to be some of the worst offenders when it comes to sugary beverages.

Alas, this is me too. I stick to beer or cider if I'm out with friends now.

Alcar...

I only drink Wine at home, it's policy. Because I don't have anyone that could appreciate the stuff.

I love Port Wine :D I'm not so crazy about normal wine.... But I sooometimes have a lil glass of port wine. I dont drink a lot of very often though.

New Years 2009 when my parents were out and I was home alone I appreciated wine so much that I got through a bottle, had red stained lips for a day after and wiped my WoW raid group about five times on easy pulls.

I love this stuff. I got addicted to it in Moscow but I can't get it in England. It's superpowered Bitter Lemon - basically lemonade so lemony it rips your mouth apart. And it's turquoise.

Damn! Now I don't like mixing whisky but that is something I would love to add a bit of whisky to.

I love root beer, orange lucozade and mountain dew. But I mainly drink water, milkshakes or Marks & Spencer Pink Lady Apple Juice (yum). I drink far too many sugary things.

But tea should be drank with milk, no sugars and coffee should have milk and 2 sugars.

I've started to drink wine when I go out to the pub or if there's an evening thing with my friends, it feels so grown up and sophisticated but I have to limit myself or I get wasted very easily. Otherwise it's usually an amaretto and coke, please!

What's everyones wine of choice? I prefer White Zinfandell Rose. Mainly because I find white wine too dry and I hate the lip staining of red.

MeechMunchie: That sounds awesome. It's a shame you can't get it in the UK. =/ When did you go to Moscow?

Moscow was a few years back, and was a thoroughly fascinating experience (I was learning Russian Language and Russian History at the time).

You can get Bitter Lemon in the UK, of varying quality. It's just this particular Russian brand is very nice.

jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~

I would hardly call them sugary, but maybe for clarity assume I mean that last bit about soft drinks only.

The currency of Strabane (hole). But, so damn tasty.

I remember seeing a news report on that. Something about it making youths go crazy or something like that? I can't remember but apparently it's a bit of a controversial drink.

Buckfast has put Strabane in the sorry state it's in.

Think Libya with white people.

I'm still teetotal. I can't even bring anything with alcohol near my face.

Water and tea forever.

Tried beer before, didn't have the taste for it. Only have vodka when it's a holiday or some other dumb cultural thing. Coffee is disgusting and gives me headaches.

I love strong, unsweetened black coffee.

This is my absolute favourite tipple. I'll settle for Bulmers, Magners or Gaymers, but give me a Kopparberg any day. Winter Fruits or Strawberry & Lime.

I enjoy mixers such as vodka and coke (the classic), Jager and coke, white rum and lemonade, and vodka and cranberry juice. Jager, vodka, Jack Daniels, Disaronno and Drambuie will get drunk in shots.

Recently discovered that champagne and Dr. Pepper mix quite nicely as well, actually.

I drink pretty much any brand of cola but can tell apart Pepsi and Coca-Cola pretty easily, with no particular preference. Pepsi tastes good flat though. Love Vimto both carbonated and still. Usually just drink squash-flavoured water.

The only coffee I can drink is mocha. I am a shameful Brit in that I don't like tea. Closest I've gotten to liking it is jasmine tea.

Kopparberg is gorgeus!

Just I shame I never seem to get round to having one often

Kopparberg is the only cider I'd drink because it's actually sweet and doesn't have that vinegary taste like all the other cheap shite does.

I also don't like Magners because it tastes a bit like Strongbow, which I absolutely hate.

I will take Strongbow if there's nothing else, and it was my first cider really, but it's... really not a flavourful drink for me any more. It's a very long drink for me.

Kopparberg is a rare treat for me. Especially since I haven't bought anything for a while. It's usually Bulmers I'll have lying around, due to grabbing some from home when I head back from my university house.

I used to like it, but a period of time not drinking it then going back made it taste sickening.

Even now if I drink it, I have an uncontrollable urge to throw up.

The only ciders I like are Brothers and Jacques. I can't stand apple cider. I had a bad run in with Frosty Jacks at 14 and I haven't been able to touch the stuff since.

But strawberry cider is nice.

That's all you see around here.

Yeah, it's a trend in my neck of the woods as well.

Bad, youthful times. >_<
