I'm expecting some of the ladies on here to already be suffering from palpitations after reading the link.

I probably have about 3 glasses a year, I dont think I will be losing any sleep over it.

My dad's not going to like this...

[pixie373]

Whaaat??!!!

where's the petition?!

[humbersloop]

I'm feeling a very, very bad mood approaching...

...and it could get ugly in the offie, o yes

[rockyracoon]

Nicely timed scaremongering so they can justify putting the prices up.

[askyourgran]

Not really bothered, I've yet to find a wine that I really like. (with the exception of M&S Chocolate Red wine, and maybe that Beringer Pink one whose name escapes me.)

[ferlew]

Not fussed, nice voddy is my tipple :)

[marval]

Luckily enough we have enough wine to last quite a time, so I won't loose any sleep over it. I prefer a gin and tonic anyway.

[Jeza]

As far as I'm concerned you can tip all wine down the sink. Expensive champagne or cheap plonk. I will have a small bottle of beer at 8 ish and a B&C just before bedtime.

[ummmm]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

[frugalfred]

Now, where did I put those demi-johns?

[paddywak]

Very rarely buy the stuff,however we do have 14 demi-johns of assorted wines bubbling away quite nicely.

sounds like basically a European problem if the new world producers are increasing output. Prices are already high for wine from these countries because of the distances involved but they won't necessarily get any higher as they compete among themselves for the international market. But you'll presumably be paying more and more for European wines as they produce less and less of it.

The garage is well stocked................

[Gromit]

I did a panic buy at the weekend of a crate of Bordolino from Lidl (£4.25 a bottle).

Asda usually do a nice Agentinian Melbec on offer at Christmas around the £4 mark, so I shall be looking for some of that.

And you can usually get some Chateau Neuf du Pape at half price before Christmas.

Just had a thought. The shortage, it isn't my fault is it?

[ummmm]

Yes...so take it all back and get a refund!!!

[DJHawkes]

I don't drink wine and so it's not my fault.......

[craft1948]

I've er 'several' bottles of pouilly fume so I'll manage.............

[baza]

had a glass of some M & S red plonk last week, I'll stick to my Bells in future.

Blessing in disguise.
