wine merchants pay a fortune for rack space in supermarkets and deliberately overprice bottles so they can be put on a 'half price offer'.

that's why i don't buy wine from supermarkets, it's generally a lot of not very good stuff thats been overpriced and then put on offer just to make it sell. you do strike lucky occassionally though, there was a sainsbury's jumilla in 1999 that was amazing and you could get a case for £30. they sold out in about 3 days nationwide. i got 3 cases myself  

i did drink 4 bottles in one night though and involuntarily re-decorated my flat.

I haven't done 4 bottles in a night for ages, last time that I remember was a few years ago and was a bit messy. I reckon I could manage it now if I started early evening. I don't normally start on the wine till 9ish and the sleep issue could be a factor.

I always have 3 but 4 would be to much

i probably drank the equivalent in beer and champagne on promotion day but that was over at least 12 hours.

normally one bottle of an evening is enough to send me to sleep.

[yeo]

1 bottle leaves me needing more.

Thats probably alcoholism

the thing i find with red wine, more than two bottles in one evening and i find i've got a huge hangover, something i very rarely get

Do you drink Wine in Pubs Axs?

Do you swill it about and sniff and all that stuff?

I'm normally a 2-3 person, normally closer to 3 if I've got work the next day. I'm near the end of my second and regretting not buying another bottle. I've got a few can's stashed so i can keep drinking at least.

depends how early you get up and whether you eat cheese at the same time.

brie is a proven hangover cure - anti-oxidants and all that malarkey.

i rarely have more than one bottle a night, but then i do work 5 days a week.

i would like to stress that i don't have a bottle every night.

i do have beer occassionally.
