Ludo*1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Rioja seems to be the popular red on here. It's shite. Chianti is where it is at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Speaking of 'red' wine - Took a punt on this: Has to be the worst thing I've ever tasted. Horrendous doesn't cover it. Missus used some for her batch of spaghetti bolognese. That's about all it's good for. Edited May 23, 2020 by Ludo*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they lords or lairds now courtesy of our imperial German overlords? Some of their beers are good but their pubs are utter dung I don't care about their advertising. I've liked all of their bars I've been in (except the prices!) and I like most of their beers. I didn't even know about them until me and a friend went to one of their bars in Dundee in 2014. Don't get the hate they get on here. Much of it is made up stuff (most notably that their bars are full of snobs who mock anyone who doesn't like Brewdog products). But then it doesn't affect me. I'll continue to drink their beers and, when I can, will have the odd pint in one of their bars (as I said, it's pricey, although their prices haven't changed much in years and 'regular' pubs seem to be fast catching up in that regard). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't 'hate' them, in fact I'm happy that a Scottish company is making an impact abroad and creating revenue for our country. I just see their marketing as, just well that, no different from a multinational brewer. Their pub in West End Glasgow is beyond dreadful though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that it's port opposed to red though as I hate that too.Aye the reviews on the Vivino app describe it as being very sweet and not to everyone’s taste. The reviews back up your opinion and the description of it as a port style wine likewise back up other views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never been to that one so I'll take your word for it. Any of the one's been to have been fine. The one at Edinburgh airport sells cans that you can put in to your carry on luggage! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
