Mr. T, hmm. Well, I'll see if more suggestions are made, and may amend my choice. It's very much a minor detail, though.
Quite re minor detail. Wine used to be a hobby of mine, if you couldn't tell. But on reflection, depending on the time of year, Beaujolais nouveau would probably best fit with gender, age and meal.
Mr. T, must admit to being amused when various do-gooder organisations have definitions of poverty which suggest I had a deprived childhood (no foreign holidays, small bedroom etc).
My mother and I did get thrown out by my father when I was 14. Back in those days only the man signed the mortgage deeds and so it was his house not ours and the courts were happy with that. Females were chattels.
So he sold the house and swanned off abroad with his fancy-woman and left us with nothing. I never forgave the S.o.B. He died 15 years ago and I do not miss him one bit.
Alas... as an atheist I know that he just fizzled out. No just desserts for him although the Kyle allusion is an entertaining one.
The main thing I draw from that is that every section of the population from left to right is more likely to think they are morally superior than morally inferior by a margin of somewhere between 8 to 1 and 12 to 1.
Huh. We are all morally superior to people who think they are morally superior.
Obviously DRC is the best, but I am a great fan of Les Suchots personally. My Dad prefers Grands Echezeaux with lamb, but that's a little beyond my budget.
Now you're talking some pretty fancy wine there. Is Romanee-Conti even available to the public? I had thought it to be subscription only.

So we are all morally superior to ourselves? An interesting concept.

I may be late to the party, but what's wrong with Strongbow or Woodpecker ?

According to the YouGov subsamples, the Lib Dems have only held onto half of their already-abysmal 2015 vote. Tories and Lab have taken a quarter of the LD vote each.
No surprise the party is in a death spiral.
Decades of Winning Here crashed and burned in May. Even amongst political obsessives here there were many people who had bet on LD seats in the 11-20 band thinking it would be a very poor result who lost as the Lib Dems did worse than even that.
I remember when I first joined in 2013, I was being scoffed at when I predicted the Lib Dems would only get around 10% in 2015, and would fall below 20 seats.
I would have scoffed too, but that's what the data was predicting. I managed to simultaneously believe that the polls were right and that the Lib Dems had established themselves as the centre party and so would have a solid block of seats. I somehow forgot that to win seats in parliament requires getting enough votes.
But every political event of the last six months has baffled me, so what do I know?

Anything else: ugh!

But you have to be a wine soc member to buy it.
