@Donotfolowme Why the NZ one has an Italian name tho? lol
Merlot is one of my go to choices, especially with red meat or even better, stews.

@Donotfolowme Eh. I need to replenish my stock as well. Even because I fear it won't be long before a new lockdown is enacted, over here.

@Elessar First two were gifted go me in March and I haven't been drinking. The last 3 have been finished long ago. I will die sober 🤭

@Donotfolowme I have an Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. in the fridge; the bottle was gifted to me as well, but I see it priced online >100€, so I'm waiting for the right moment to open it lol. Then I have a classic Valdobbiadene for the next time I'll get myself fish/seafood, and a bottle of sweet wine from Padua (Fiori d'Arancio). And that's it. I need a few more bottles in case everything shuts down again, possibly not overly expensive stuff that I won't feel remorse opening xD

@Elessar hahaha ikr I don't wanna buy expensive drinks. I am not dependent on alcohol just that I enjoy red wine, n my juniors gifted on our last day of training. I am happy with Merlot anyday. I drink whiskey and red rum occasionally like once in 2-3 years. I wanna maintain the skin n body that may last a lil longer.

@Donotfolowme Yeah, I'm not dependent either, more of an occasional drinker as you've described. It's just that when you have some good food (be it fresh fish/seafood, top-quality meat cuts e.g. a Fiorentina steak, a stew, cold cuts and artisanal cheeses, etc. having water (or worse, sweetened beverages) as your drink would be a crime.
Whisky for me personally is top during winter in front of the fireplace 🥃

@Elessar omg!! That looks amazing, brings back some memories haha nice. I have enjoyed alcohol but I really wanna drink occasionally not like regularly. Yes, I totally love it with meat, you mentioned some great stuff.
@Elessar Yes whisky tastes amazing during the winter. I first got a taste for it when I was living in Scotland

@Donotfolowme One single glass a day of red wine is deemed healthy as far as I know.
With whisky I go lightly as well, mostly on - you know - those deep-winter nights when the temp outside is below zero (celsius), foggy, and I reunite with friends around a fireplace lol
