BBQ's still on for tonight :
Minted lamb kebabs + prawn and monkfish skewers + Sweet Chilli chicken wings.
Popped into the Thatchers shop as I came through Sandford and picked up a few http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=thatchers&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=687&tbm=isch&tbnid=bmCJtOOR6...

Mine is simply because I dont have the palate for any alcoholic drink that isn't sweet. I douse wine in lemonade. I douse Vodka in fanta....I even douse tea with sugar.

It's in the chemistry.....red has a lower sulphur dioxide content and a higher tannin content than white.
Also red and black grape skins contain resveratrol.

My brother in law is a connoisseur of wine and other alcohol beverages. As a treat he took me out for a celebratory meal when I passed some exam or another...He was so proud when the waiter brought a lovely little red wine 'ALSATION' as I recall..... I remember thinking 'is this a dog?' ...It actually tasted awful...probably like dogs pee in fact..
