In the UK the standard of imported wine is generally very variable. We pay a premium price for random bottles that may taste nice or may be so bad they have to be poured down the sink.
After a particularly horrible bottle of red wine (A bottle of the same wine bought a week earlier had been fine) I decided to analyse the taste and determine if I could fake the red wine experience.
Try it yourself and let me know what you think in the comments.

    I used to love wine, especially red wine. I lived in Yorkshire for a while in the late 1980's, and near my home was a superb Italian owned pizza restaurant – their 'house red' was lovely, and I got 'heavily refreshed' on it many times. Several years later, though, I became allergic to sulphites, and found, to my dismay, that any wine (even in a spritzer), if drunk, reappeared very suddenly, from the orifice it had entered by. 🙁🙁🙁

    Use 80% ethanol and you only need to add 1 shot glass.

    In Russia we call it Otvyortka (mean Screwdriver). Any juice and vodka plus man which hold same ratio when drunk.

    No vodka on hand here, but I'll have to suggest that cranberry juice might be something to try in our wine-making…

    you think Britain gets other countries' wine cast-offs? Try it in America where you get to pay $30 for the privilege of drinking crap that the French send over as a joke.

    I tried carbonating the cranberry ethanol and before I knew it I was cramming zircon encrusted tweezers into Poundland battery casings…is this symptomatic?

    Your hands are huge or the way you're holding that glass makes it look small. Or of course, that glass is small.
