The humble Chardonnay grape when grown in Champagne or Chablis. Have both for today.
Saperavi, sounds interesting what outlets you use?

I had it in Vagabond wines in Clapham but have seen varieties in Waitrose and Majestic Wines. 
A friend of mine buys all his wines from Majestic in London . 

Myself well Chardonnay all the way for some reason now do drink Sav also . 

Chardonnay Dead

For wine lovers download Viviano. Good app to check out ratings of wines when in the offo etc. 
I drinkl what i like which i fine is the way to go , now assssssssssssssssholes think that a €250 bottle of wine is where it's at is another story .

2nd this - this would be my regular go to red wine.
Can’t drink White, worst hangover ever. 

Xmas day: Louvel Champagne from Asda is a nice drop and 50% less than the big branded names.

Casillero del Diablo, Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. Goes down easy.

Throw in some liquors and G&Ts and you have a great day!!
