Purdeys is the only non alco drink worth bothering with except perrier and heavy water ice
2018 Chilean Pinot Noir from the Aconcagua Valley. Unusually high ABV of 14.5% fer a Pinot Noir.
This is bloominā good! Decent layered complexity, yet very smooth & silky on the palate. A real steal @ Ā£6-50 a bottle from Asda.

Thatās straying into headache territory for meā¦
Thatās a shame Steve, tis a lovely drop. Does go down all too easily, considering the high ABV. A really good lighter style of red, that works particularly well in these summer months

For me, red wine = headache, simple as. White wine or Champagne, even at silly (2 bottles) quantity = right as rain.
Odd really.

The heavier reds can hit me. I can do half a bottle and any more I donāt sleep well.
Bad nose = bad breathing = mouth like the Sahara desert.
Iām the opposite - I canāt drink white wine etc
Any Red, even at half a bottle, floors me. White, however, seems to have little effect. I usually drink White 
Itās odd, how different drinks affect us, isnāt it ?
I remember doing a tour of one of the Champagne vineyards with the ex and at the end they offered everyone a glass which I politely declined - the guys face was a picture 
It really is, I can generally get into serious units of alcohol with my favourite cocktails with little serious effect the next day. With wine & port I generally have to take more care. I think Iām better at skirting the limits than when I wuz younger, which undoubtedly helps.

Iāll qualify the āskirting the limitsā wot I mean is riding a plateau of pissedness!!!
Age, I think, is always a thing, but white wines /Champagnes have never affected me. 4 beers and a bottle of white, fine, 1/2 a bottle of Red, boom !
Spirits, a definite no no. Luckily, I donāt like them 
Mermaid Gin + bitter lemon all fucking night long and am now a bit fucked up. Resulyt.
