i recommend you go to calais and get yourself some boxes of cotes de rhone `les hauts de saint-michel`- it`s a delicious, full-bodied French wine, a MACON gold medal winner 2007 and at only 2.5 euros a bottle (tops) you will be glugging merrily ever after. c`est vrai!
maybe oddbins do it now,
NOT (at that price)!!

Young New World Pinot Noirs (from Oregon, Central Otago or California) are ideal for quaffing on their own, being full of ripe, juicy fruit and generally unencumbered by mouth-puckering tannins. A top quality Beaujolais (not the naff Nouveau, but a fine Moulin à Vent, perhaps, Morgon, Juliénas or Fleurie) lightly chilled from the fridge is also a delight.
