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.

      Chilli & Garlic - Recommendation

      By the_hermit · Posted

      For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.

      It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.

      Where does one go to ask admin questions please?

      Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have? Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.

      Yes, if you think they have been complicit in this. When you say you "had to" accept the lower price from your buyer, was that because of the timing of your purchase?
