Au contraire... Just been in Alsace on holiday and having just checked my small collection of rieslings, they are all 13%. Although you are right, an Aussie red would probably be slightly stronger.

Anyway, cheap wine will give you more of a hangover. I've got a friend who swears that chardonnay gives her a hangover every time but miraculously Chablis seems to be okay...

The Rieslings I brought home vary from 8% to 12.5% - the 8% is a lovely bottle to drink at lunchtime. Some Aussie reds are 15% and I've sampled one at 16%. It was not as strong to taste as you would think but I am sure that it would give a hangover.


The Alsace is great isn't it? We end up bringing enough wine home to avoid the local off-licenses for several weeks - and the Mosel is even better value.

sorry :-$ just making conversation.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
