Just bought some Blossom Hill White Zinfandel in Family Stores on Upland Rd, doesn't taste right. No sell by date on it but says 2013 on the small label on the back. It's meant to be fruity & fresh, um more like fusty & funny I'd say, with a hint of old socks! Prolly serves me right for getting the cheapest bottle, which wasn't really cheap at at ?6 short of a penny.

You are prolly right there, usually get Barefoot, which is really nice but it's more expensive in there than Barry's & I only had ?6 on me :O)

I think the age is fine, but it sounds like that wine was not stored properly and got too warm at some point in its life. Aside from the taste, this might also affect (possibly increase) the alcohol content. Take it back for a refund if you can be arsed. If not, down it and give us a minute by minute update of the results! ;-)

It does get hot in there & it was under the cctv lol. I am half way through now & it does taste a little bit better than it did at the start ;-) Don't think they will accept a refund on empty bottle :)

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
