How much would you pay for a bottle of wine?

I so want to go drinking with you! I once had a few glasses of that beautiful stuff and was awfully glad I wasn't paying. It was Nectar, steeped in Ambrosia and washed over my palate as smooth as a virgin's thigh!

Hungarian wine? I like better Hungarian meat dishes, paprika, cakes and, of course, women... :rolleyes:

That is uncommonly decent of you old boy! I do like Valpolicella as well, one of the best of the Italian reds. Robust, but not harsh, I find it complements the gamier flavoured meats like venison or pheasant.

We get home made wines from Mrs Wife's cousin. It is very good fresh but doesn't last very long.

When you say it doesn't last very long, do you mean it goes off quickly or that you pride yourself in your Toping ability?

Imagine a summers evening sat on that veranda with the sun going down over the lake. Now you answer your question. :laugh:

£5 for a decent one? £10 for a good wine? £100 for an EXCELLENT one? How about £4,000 for one that doesn't exsist? I was talking to my wine suppliers, I buy it by the dozen, and he was telling me about a recent auction and 2008 Lafite was selling at around £50,000 for a case. This is for a wine that is still in the barrel and won't be bottled until 2018 and will only be drinkable around 2030. You can only buy it by the case at the moment, but I thought it was good value. The current prediction is that it will worth around £250,000 per dozen by the time it's released in 2020! :omg:

Typical bloody Australian. This is red wine, you do not keep it in a fridge, it bruises. You keep red wine in a cellar or other cool place, but never in a fridge. You see when it is brought out to Chambre it must not undergo too much of a temperature change, and not quickly either. White wine is kept in a fridge because it is virtually undrinkable until it is ice cold.

To be honest, the people buying it now will never see it let alone taste it. In reality they're buying a future.

I'm allowed the cakes; no complaints.

Ah, come on, it'll be drinkable immediately. It would certainly be a waste of good wine and money, but I'm quite certain it would have a more than decent taste already after a year.

I pay up to EUR39.99 for a good Burgundy (40 just feels like a cent too far). If you put that in a fridge, I'd set John on you, to shoot up the stuff around your barn door!

Good stuff isn't it! I'm woring from home today and I've just had a quick look at my wines. I am not a complete snob; I even have some Oz Wines here!

Whinging pom! Right, now we've got that out of the way... the problem here is that "room temperature" for red wine is 18C, not 32C. To get your reds to that temperature here, you need to either chill them in something, or drop an ice cube in the top if you are desperate...

Actually no. One of the underlying reasons for their expense is that the wines are not in a drinkable state for about 10 years.
