Tarrango red wine

I estimate I've drunk around 9000 bottles of cheap red wine over the years which surely confers some authority, and this cheeky little bottle of chemicals is the one that's stuck with me the longest.

Of course, I've always been blessed with a terrible and hence cheap palate, so if you're the sort of person who is laying down a mini-cellar under your stairs, or prattles on about terroir with your vintner, or even serves wine in goldfish bowl glasses (as one Yorkshireman did for me only the other day - what the fuck is going on), then plainly you need to move on, nothing to see here.

But if you like cheap plonk that slips down nicely; like light fruity red wines that are as happy being served chilled as warm; and don't mind buying wine that is mass-produced in giant stainless steel tubs half the size of New South Wales then this could be for you.

In essence, it's ribena for grown-ups. And will go brilliantly with turkey. Brown Brothers Tarrango, sold everywhere, from £3.99 to £6.99...chin, chin.
