I have been a Dubonnet fan since i could legally drink nearly 40 years ago. I bought a bottle recently and it definitely tastes and smell different and not for the better. So...it it me or have they changed it?

I can remember drinking Dubonnet and lemonade in my youth, Woofy. It was very fashionable and very sweet. I don't think I ever tasted it without the lemonade. You have made me reminiss!!

I bought a bottle off the internet for Christmas. It didn't taste like I remembered it! It didn't look the same either. I'm sure the one from my youth was darker.

I saw something in Morrison's the other day I hadn't come across for 40 years or so: Mavro Daphne, a sweet, sherryish Greek wine. I bought it for old time's sake thinking it would now be about as sophisticated as Blue Nun, but actually it's rather nice.

not for years, perhaps your taste has changed.

After being fashionable, and then going through years and years of being seen as a bit low rent, Dubonnet is now seen as rather sophisticated.

your appreciation of Dubonnet might be more convincing if you didn't seem to be throwing up after it, JJ

I took the bottle back to tesco today for a refund. The nice lady who refunded me said "oh yes no problem, we've had loads of these back recently" so it wasn't me after all......
