Banrock Station sparkling shiraz
Review of Banrock Station Sparkling Shiraz by
john78-wert
Advantages: easy drinking

Not quite as good as James Bond, but tastes nice nevertheless
Review of Country Manor Medium Dry Perry by
Walowiz
Advantages: Good value for money, easy to drink, comes in a box
Disadvantages: Hard to get the box into the fridge
Why did I buy it:
I bought it because I had never bought a box of wine before and I did think that one bottle of wine wasn’t going to be enough for the purpose I had in mind. I believed it to be far more cost effective to purchase a large 3-litre box as ...

Chocolate Shop Wine the "op" at the end of Shop should be altered
Review of Chocolate Shop by
cr01
Advantages: You won't over indulge. Trust me
Disadvantages: Completely undrinkable.
For good or ill it’s a fairly rare red wine that I cannot drink. Although I have gone through quite a few unremarkable reds in my time, I usually struggle through to the latter half of the bottle before it gains the undistinguished title of “cooking wine” ...

The original and the best
Review of Cockburns Fine Ruby Port by
xbrightx
Advantages: Taste, quality, rich and mellow, inexpensive
Disadvantages: None
Cockburns Fine Ruby port has long been a family favourite. We drink port throughout the year and it’s not simply reserved for the festive season. Cockburns is a fine everyday port, in my personal opinion, and highly enjoyable and easy to drink.
