Hi every-wine (haha, little joke),
From the beginning of our activity on this blog, we told you about our best
wine experiences, this is actually the aim of this blog. We love you and thank
you for your loyalty, and we want to be honest with you because of that. Yes
guys, I'm "unglad" to inform you about... BAD WINE EXPERIENCES!
Sure, we are French; we are supposed to think that French winegrowers produce the best wine. Maybe; but we are open-minded, we tasted alien wines and these were yummy. We also tasted bad quality French wines, with terrible acidity (our liver remember the experience). BUT, But... Sometimes it's important to notice when a beverage is just disgusting.
London, Christmas holidays. I'm offered to taste a typical red British
wine. Nice. I mean, I'd never try a British wine. So it should be interesting.
Interesting, that's the word. British are not well known for their wines,
indeed, they are the biggest importer of the world because they don't really
have the terroir to produce wine. But, I heard that their sparkling wine
was nice, maybe the red could be good too.
Hem...
The nose : woody, fresh.
The palate : yaaaark ! It was such a young wine ! The exact impression was
that it was kind of green harvest, so the wine used to be acidic, then they put
some blackcurrant syrup in the bottle. Top, finish, the send it to Waitrose and
restaurant and sold it about £4. Are they kidding us ?
That's why, dear Followers, beware of the British wines, keep drinking sure
beverage, and pleaaaase British winegrowers : stop killing the wine !
Bonus : funny back label, "suitablefor vegetarians" ! I had a good laugh...
Marie-Lou, thank you PAKS for the experience.

Marie-Lou, do you think you will anyway try again to taste a British wine (either red, white or sparkling) ?
Yes Julie, I think I will... Maybe more a sparkling british wine, cause now I'm afraid of the reds :)
What do you mean by "blackcurrant syrup"?
