Lambrini

Lambrini isn't a bad drop of wine... but then again it's not actually a wine at all. Made from pears, it's what is known as perry, and is basically the equivalent of cider, only made with pears rather than apples. Perry has to be made from special perry pears, just as West Country cider is made from cider apples, and Perry pear trees are quite rare and found mainly in just three counties (Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire). Anyway, ...
...some 11 month dispute that Lambrini was too similar in look and name to their product and was stealing their market. The dispute was eventually settled out of court with Halewood agreeing to change the labelling on their bottles to prevent confusion. Sour grapes if you ask me ( that was a poor joke). How you could say cheap perry would rival an established and well-known wine because of its label is beyond me. It just comes down to consumer ...

Review of Lambrini

...best that any consumption of lambrini is kept indoors with friends, over pizza and a game of uno (or Truth, depending on your friends) as you can get drunk very easily, especially girls! Serve it chilled, and Lambrini can glide down the throat like Coke, leading to you reaching out your glass (ok, beaker in our case) for more. Is this a disadvantage? Well, I've knocked off a star - not for quality or taste, but just for the fact that if it's being ...
...used to love Eisberg when I was seven. Alcohol free, though bubbly enough to make me want an entire bottle to myself! And the best bit? The price and availability. This stuff is available everywhere - Tesco and Sainsbury's definitely carry it, alongside their own marginally cheaper (though otherwise identical) versions. For 150cl, ie twice the size of a normal bottle of wine, you can expect to pay not more than three pounds: we bought two bottles ...

Review of Lambrini

...I have to say that Lambrini is a cost efficiencent alcoholic drink. In terms of taste, I guess it's okay but I don't really like alcohol anyway (except for brandy mmm!) Lambrini is a perry drink which basically means that it is made out of pears instead of wine which is made from grapes and cider which is made from apples. It is sometimes called pear cider. It is a more commercial perry, it's not very traditional and contains less alcoholic volume ...
...company called Halewood international. Lambrini is the market leader in the perry market. Lambrini original is basically like a sprkling white wine except the taste is slightly different because obviously it's made from pears instead of grapes. But expect the same amount of quality from Lambrini as buying a cheap bottle of wine. So what's the difference between wine and lambrini apart from the fruit? Well lambrini is parkling and it doesn't actually ...

Review of Lambrini

...talking about anything dodgy! Simply LaMbRiNi :0) ~~~ CHEAP ~~~ Lambrini comes in a bottle, what could be cheap that comes in a bottle?! You'd be surprised as this opinion is about a bottle of wine! A bottle of cheap wine! Lambrini is usually around a couple of pound a bottle (75cl) The prices can vary starting from around £1.50. As the bottles get bigger so does the price but who cares.... this is what you call cheap!!! ~~~ PLEASURABLE ~~~ Lambrini ...
...gets me off on one! Lambrini is brilliant for getting drunk. Stuff the neat spirits that deep down are disgusting, have a pleasurable cheap bottle of plonk! Enjoy many glasses without throwing your dosh down the drain constantly! ~~~ TASTY ~~~ You may think this cheap bottle of white wine is nasty, some may think it is, but it is half decent! What makes this wine so special is that it isn't really a wine. Lambrini is made out of pears, not grapes ...

Review of Lambrini

i like cider. I like wine. I love this. Coincidence? well not really. You see, this is technically a cross between the two. It is a perry, which drinks similarly to a sparkling wine, but is actually a drink made from fermenting pears, in the same way that apples are fermented to make cider. Clever, isn't it? The bottle - It has recently had a makeover, and is no longer sold in the bottle that you see in the picture. It is now slightly thinner bottle, ...
...the logo is similar to the old one, as the company was told by its customers that they liked it. The label around the neck is gone, and the top is covered in black plastic, with blue and gold swirls on it. It is a screw top bottle. Basic facts - this is classified as being a slightly sparkling perry. this basically means that it is a pear made wine/cider that is effervescent in nature. It is made by Halewood international ltd, and is one of the ...

Review of Lambrini

...being very easy to drink, Lambrini goes down extremely easily and at 7.5% vol this is exactly what I expected. Of course I cannot drink the whole of one of these oversized bottles all in one go, but this size would be perfect for parties or get togethers or as in the adverts girls nights in. "Lambrini girls just wanna have fun" is the slogan from the adverts and I can definitely see where the advertisers are going with this one, this is the perfect ...
...bottle for £0.79 and a Lambrini Spumante, a more expensive variety at £1.79 for the 75cl size. I think I might try the Lambrini Spumante to see if there is much difference when I am in Tescos next. This is suitable for vegans, which I am not. There is a caution on the label which says to when opening hold cap firmly and point away from people and fragile objects as this is a pressurized bottle so you have been warned. I think for the price this ...

Review of Lambrini

...better with the fact that Lambrini isn't really a wine but a perry (no not a Fred Perry), it means it's made from pears and not grapes. Hey, Maybe this would prevent the headache that I always get when drinking wine? No, it didn't. I washed down a paracetamol with my next glass and hoped for the best. At this point I inspected the bottle, nothing spectacular there just a normal semi clear wine bottle which vaugely resembles a Lambrusco bottle, in ...
...for imitating the Italian wine. Pathetic really, I think I know how to spell well enough to tell the difference and the taste is nothing like it at all, nor the price! Don't ask me what the price is though, about £1 a litre is the best I can tell you, I don't buy the stuff, I just drink it. Halewood International of Liverpool actually make Lambrini, dammit I was there last weekend, why didn't someone tell me eh?? I might have been able to aquire ...

Review of Lambrini

...shop (a Londis) which was Lambrini priced at £1.59 for 75cl. It’s comes in a clear bottle with a simple label – well we don’t really expect anything too fancy for a cheap wine do we? - and on the bottle says it was made in the UK. The seal around the screw on lid (no need to try and find a corkscrew) is a lovely gold colour and the labels all have a lovely gold trim……..very girly. Well after all that’s where I ...
...up with some other mum’s. The mum who was hosting the afternoon offered us all wine and of course we all accepted. After consuming several glasses we all commented on how tasty the wine was and really expected her to say some really flashy wine……….but she didn’t – it was Lambrini. I must add here that this particular friend has worked in top catering jobs in London, travels abroad frequently and knows a REALLY ...

Review of Lambrini

...can describe the colour of Lambrini is to say it is reminiscent of urine (not that I go around examining wee-wee a lot). One of the things I like about Lambrini is that it comes in screw top bottles, easy access when you’re desperate for a drinky. It keeps for ages in the fridge (not my fridge – doesn’t last long in there). And its cheap, my big 150cl bottle retails for about £2.49, you can get smaller bottles of 275ml and 75cl, but why bother I ...
...not be the best or classiest drink on the market but if you’re after a lighter drink before going out or for at a party it is ideal to get you in the mood. The company who manufacture it (Halewood International of Liverpool) sell over 40 million bottles of it every year so it seems to have lots of fans, me amongst them. ...

Review of Lambrini

...drink . On those occasions, Lambrini is often my drink of choice. Despite looking like a bottle of screw top wine , Lambrini is actually not wine, but perry. It's almost like a cider, but made from pears instead. Until a few years ago, you could only get the original flavour, but now there are a few more - Cherry, Peach , Rose, Bubbly, and Bubbly Pink. They've also done a fair bit of TV advertising recently, and the combination of these has made ...
...alleyway behnd the offy! Lambrini is made by a company called Halewood, and has 7.5 % ABV. Which is probably about the average strength for a Perry . Pouring it into a glass, it's lightly sparkling, but not so fizzy that it leaves an enormous head . Its a pale yellow in colour, and the smell is hard to describe - definately fruity, but not so much real pears as pear drop sweets . The taste is light and refreshing . Theres a very mild flavour of pear, ...

Review of Lambrini

...remember when I first tasted Lambrini it was a long time ago I think it was somewhere in between drinking diamond white and before a good bourbon, anyhoo, it was longer than my drink addled mind can remember. What I do remember about Lambrini is it lubricates our weekly social gathering where once a week we pile round to a gal pal’s with umpteen bottles of the stuff and proceed to gossip, bitch, eat, drink and compare bust size/weight loss/men ...
...drinkable. Basically that is all lambrini is, its cheap and cheerful and damn good fun. The bottle is basic and functional clear glass big label and no cork (yes!) although whether this is to facilitate easy drinking for the groups of underage girls who loiter around the local chippy or a new fashion in wines I cannot comment. It retails at roughly £2 for 750cl and £3 for 1.5lt; we quite often consume a large bottle to each person on our girlie ...

Review of Lambrini

...problem that I find with Lambrini it doesn't taste like your drinking alcohol. It reminds me of when I was little and at christmas my mum would pour some lemmonade into a wine glass so that I could pretend I was drinking champagne. The taste of Lambrini is very fresh and fruity and sweet and crisp but, you hardly notice you are drinking it. You could easliy confuse it with some of those drinks like Soler which are designed to look like wine by without ...
...You pop into Tesco, you pick up two huge bottles for about £6 that taste like sparkling fruit drinks. You go home, with your huge box of chocies and stick Bridget Jones in the DVD player and before you know it, two bottles have gone and you've passed out on the floor! Although on the other hand, the taste is lovely and the price is reasonable. You just have to be careful and keep telling yourself that it is alcohol! ...

Review of Lambrini

i think lambrini is more for teenagers and young adults to get drunk then for older people that just want to enjoy a nice glass of wine, because to be honest it tastes nothing like wine, i think it has a very nice taste it to it, it doesnt taste much like alcohol, a lot of people have said they dont like the taste of it ive even heard it reffered to "cats urine" but i do think it tastes quite nice, its very cheap which is why its good for teenagers ...
...LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT: its very cheap tastes nice sold in most shops has a good range of sizes THINGS I DONT LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT: the cherry flavour doesnt come in the 1.5 litre size WHERE YOU CAN BUY THIS PRODUCT: you can buy this in most shops like tesco, sainsbury's, asda, most corner shops like premier sell it. PRICE: in tesco the 1 litre size bottle is £1.38 and the 1.5 litre bottle is around £2.50 overall this product is great for getting ...

Review of Lambrini

...would steer clear of the lambrini brand out of principle, if not the sake of my internal organs,! But one evening a few weeks ago i found myself skint once again perusing the shelves of the local off license with a hastily collected surplus of copper jangling in my pocket. Looking for something i could afford, something to make me pleasantly fuzzy, when I spy sitting next to the hated antiseptic (oops, i mean lambrini) a bottle of beautiful pink/red ...
...but with my mind filled with images of juicy cherries i bought a bottle and once home gingerly sipped at it!! But what a surprise! It is **GORGEOUS** and now my favourite tipple. Cheap it maybe, but now this lambrini girl is definitely having fun!!(and saving money into the bargain) ...
