I don't like dry white at all, makes me thirsty which is ironic.
Sweet or sparkling for me.

Right off to tesco's to get supplies.. shopping list:
3 bottles of red. max spending = £9
2 bottles of chocolate milk
1 packet of biscuits
1 small packet of golden virginia
1 pack small green rizlas
1 bottle of coke to quench my thirst on the way home.
Being a student is ace. Similar shopping lists to that of tramps.

Frosty jacks is a brilliant cider. Used to be my tipple of choice in my first year at uni when money got really tight.
Trampjuice is an ace and useful website. It's inspired me to return to my strong cider drinking days after I've completed my way through the tesco £3 redwine selection.

I was searching for my most recent tipple on the web - and pleased to see it on the trampjuice site, as it so clearly is... http://gk007a0336.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/amster.htmYou can get this stuff at Geneva main train station and be happily 'maximated' on one can for 3.40 swiss franks, which is almost exactly 1.49 pounds in English money. The significance of this price will not be lost on regular readers of Viz. For the less brave, the same Amsterdam brewery also do Navigator (6.5%) and Explorator (8.6%) - I wouldn't recommend navigating or exploring after a sesh on either. |

How is it Ben? Rich and full bodied?  Or light and fruity? |

pretty medium, erring on the light side. Not that impressed to be fair. Bit dead, no subtle tones just a straight winey taste. Bit dissapointing really.

Chilean are ace. Had a few nice Hungarian and Bulgarian efforts in my time. Had the cheap tesco Hollywood effort a couple of times. Don't remember it being anything special.
