  5. I’m am currently enjoying
    French reds from Languedoc
    And since a trip out to Sardinia, wine from the vermentino grape.

    Wasn’t really a fan of white wine but this is something special.
     
  6. I used to do a trip every year in the car to load up 400-500 bottles from a wine region in Spain/France.

    Although the car looked like the suspension had broken as I very gently drove off the train, I never paid any duty.

    Anyone know what the form would be these days regarding duty and allowances?
     
  7. Yes, you'll get nailed for tax, and almost certainly cavity searched.
     
  8. Had a Picpoul de Pinet tonight for the first time, very pleasantly surprised. Saw it recommended on one of the Saturday cookery programmes and found a bottle by chance in Sainsbury’s before Christmas. I definitely will be going back for another bottle or 6. Andy
     
  9. Barolo for red
    Gavi for white

    also Barefoot Malbec from the Co-op at £6 a bottle is nice
     
  10. Nice Corbieres in a box this evening, my usual wine, €9.95 for the 3 litre box. If I get visitors I will normally crack open a bottle of Pecharmant, can't get that in the UK to my knowledge, it's one that the French keep for themselves.
     
  11. Here is your new Brexit allowance:
    42 litres of beer
    18 litres (24 standard bottles) of still wine
    4 litres of spirits OR 9 litres (12 bottles) of sparkling wine, fortified wine or any alcoholic beverage less than 22% ABV
     
  12. Thanks man......o_O
     
  13. Your suspension will thank you :D
     
  14. So, no more wine trips.

    Trying to deal with the ATA Carnet for track-days now.....

  16. Ahhhh good luck with that.
     
  17. Don't be remoaning. We're on the sunlit uplands.
    Genuinely can anyone ever remember a bigger bunch of cnuts in one place as the current government?
     
  18. Yes !
