I have become quite fond of wine I prefer very dry white wines. I quaff the ocasional red but dry whites are my favourite in fact it as got to the point now that I would rather have a glass of wine than a pint of beer. Believe me folks for a English man living in the North East of England to confess to the fact he would rather drink wine than beer is the equivelant of some body standing up on a soap box and telling the world he is gay. :lol:
