We have new price tickets for Wine here in M&S land that wax lyrical
with the usual guff re wine,such as for example Casablanca Sauvignon
Blanc which is lovingly described as,
'inviting slightly grassy aroma and mouthwatering flavours of
gooseberry, pear and melon'
One can only hope the grass hasn't been holding cows or the wine'll come
with the true aroma of the countryside.
Now I'm not a wine buff and subsequently know very little but even I
have drunk enough varieties and types to make the assertion that, Red
wine tastes red, white tastes white and I'll grant you the licence to
describe dry white as tasting of chalk! A good dry will have you dry
gobbing and/or sound like your trying to get your tongue around speaking
Dutch!
Now I'm not the kind of guy to make such a claim without backing it with
good solid data and so, I have doctored one of our best selling wines
ticket to read,
' inviting the tender aroma of wet badger and all the mouthwatering
sunshine flavours of bird droppings'
Lets see how that sells .I should probably include the word, infused ,
in there somewhere as its so beloved of all the product tosh writers.
