Float Away With White Cloud Wine!!

Advantages: Tastes amazing, not too expensive and it's alcohol!
Disadvantages: Drinking too much results in silly behaviour and possibly hangover next day!

...With Friday approaching I am looking forward to a glass of white wine. However, it won't be just any old wine?..oh no?.. it has to be a bottle of Nobilo White Cloud for me. The product ************* The brand I'm reviewing is Nobilo White Cloud white wine. I came across this purely by accident when it was on offer in my local off licence and for the last 4 years it's been my white wine of choice. Yes, there are more expensive wines?but this is the best white wine I have tasted in its price range (see below for prices). The name "White Cloud" is derived from Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud - which apparently is ancient Maori name for "New Zealand." This is a medium-dry wine and is made from predominately well-ripened Gisborne Muller Thurgau and Muscat varieties. The wine is made in medium style allowing...

Review of Nobilo White Cloud White Wine

Blushing white wine

Advantages: cheap, fruity, light
Disadvantages: weak, low in alcohol

...Sutter home white is a Californian wine that is very popular in US and UK. It is the kind of wine that suits most tastes. It is widely available in supermarkets and off licenses in UK. I bought mine in our local co-op wine shop. It cost just 4.99 and I thought it was excellent value as a table wine. Don't be misled by the colour, or the name. This white wine is a rose, so it's a very pale pink blush to it. The alcohol content of this wine is just 9.5%, so it is not very strong compared to a full bodied French Burgundy at 13.5%. This is fine if you just want a table wine but might not suit those who want to 'have a party'. The flavour is light, refreshing and fruity and it's the sort of wine that you can drink at the table, or just to relax with friends. I prefer mine chilled but strictly speaking a rose wine...

Whine, whine and mmmmmm Wine !!

Advantages: Easy to drink with nearly anything
Disadvantages: One bottle is not enough !

...thanks for it (even though it is the best one you have cooked) !! Well this is a typical day for me and I like to unwind by packing son of to bed with a good book, banishing partner to the pub (hope they get a lock in) and locking the cat flap so the cat cannot get in !!! I then take a bottle of nicely chilled wine out of the fridge, uncork it and......aaahhhhhhhhh reeelax !!!! I do NOT profess to be a wine buff, however I do like my wine, in particular the cheaper brands. This is probably because my own palate is not honed to appreciate the finer wines (neither is my pocket). Over the years I have discovered that Californian and Australian white wines are preferable for me and my latest discovery is 'Echo Falls Californian White'. I have decided to write this after only 2 glasses, as , if I wait until after the 2nd bottle it would...

A WHITE WINE THAT'S PINK

Advantages: Gorgeous flavour, widely available
Disadvantages: Can be expensive according to producer

...This luscious wine is called "white" but it is in fact a delicate, delicious shade of pink - a rose wine to be precise. Being a dedicated lover of White Zinfandel wine this was all that was on the menu on two recent trips to a TGI Fridays restuarant that came close. I was not disappointed! Produced by Ernest and Julio Gallo, White Grenache is a quality wine - I do not have a bottle at home to give you the details supplied, but noted in the restuarant that it is 11% volume in alcohol content. In a restuarant such as this you are looking at about £12 a bottle but in shops it is generally priced at £6-£7 for a standard 75cl bottle. I can happily get through a whole bottle in an evening and come out just feeling pleasantly merry and still in control! The aroma and taste is magnificent and it is so very drinkable! On sticking...

SAY Wine - why not ?

Advantages: At £2.99 a bargain.
Disadvantages: Tastes to much like alcopops

...*** INTRO *** South African wines are taking off in this country and some labour MP's are supporting trade in this area. I bought mine in a central London Sainsbury's supermarket for £2.99 chilled. The price appealed and I had not tried a white wine recently. *** THE PRODUCT *** The wine came in a green 75cl bottle alcohol 11.5% proof by volume. This was displayed on a simple cream label with the Sainsbury's logo. The back of the bottle carries a label with plenty of information, a map of South Africa, some advice on serving (Serve chilled as an aperitif with oriental cuisine and special spiced dishes). The bottle contains six glasses of wine (?) each glass contains 1.4 units of alcohol. The medical profession recommend a maximum weekly intake of about 14 units. *** THE EXPERIENCE *** Feeling down on my luck and lonely...

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

Muscadet White Wine

Advantages: looks posher than a lemonade bottle
Disadvantages: not as tasty as lemonade

...Cost: £4.99 Volume: 750ml Place of Purchase: Tesco Summer is an occassion in itself if you are british. And as many people do - we celebrate it with a toast of wine to accompany every given meal time. Okay, perhaps with the exception of breakfast - wine and special K = not great.... I don't normally have a spread of wine to offer as my other half and I are usually proud lemonade drinkers. My mother makes some of the best homemade lemonade every and it's perhaps was has prevented me from developing that 'aquired' taste for wine. However our newest circle of friends appear to be fish - only the rare type that can only survive in wine. So as a guesture I have stocked up on a range of white and red wines to offer when they visit. I chose this bottle from Tescos as the name Muscadet sounded fancy and I liked the bottle shape...

Where's The Wine?

Advantages: Quite Tasty
Disadvantages: Covered In Sugar

...sweets since 1896 when they first introduced their Wine Gums and a few years later they launched their Fruit Pastilles. Wine Pastilles are a much more recent addition to range and were launched as recently as 2001 to compliment and combine the success of their two leading brands. Wine Pastilles still bear the Maynard name but these days the company is owned by Trebor Bassett which in turn is part of the Cadbury Schweppes empire, and they are marketed as a direct rival to Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles and Wine Gums. The Packaging They come in a bright green packet which is about six inches long. Since the sweets inside are round the packet is tubular in shape and there is the Maynards logo on the front in white writing with a crown above it. This logo is superimposed over the top of a rainbow style pattern which is in the various colours...

Fine Virgin Wines

Advantages: Great value boutique wines
Disadvantages: The on-line wine auctions are addictive!

...I have been buying from Virgin Wines for about three years and I have been consistently impressed with the quality and value for money of their wines. They have got a very good range of wines from all around the world, which vary in price from as little as £4 right up to £85 for a bottle of Dom Perignon 2000. I belong to their Wine Bank, which is effectively a loyalty programme. You pay £20 each month into the Wine Bank and every three months Virgin Wines will add another £20 in interest, so when you come to buy your wine you effectively get 25% off. You can pay more into your Wine Bank if you want to and you will be rewarded with a reciprocal amount of interest (i.e. £30 a month would attract £30 interest and so on). Because most of the wines they stock are generally small production 'boutique' wines, you cannot buy them anywhere...
