Jam Shed Shiraz

[Stephen]

Australian Barossa Ink Shiraz is another nice one. We might only buy it if Tesco are doing one of their 25% off for six deals.

Best price at the moment - £8.50 Asda.

We are presently enjoying Jacob's Creek Double Barrel Matured Shiraz . The cheap stuff is full of nitrates and gives me indigestion and Mobietta gout.

ps ... we got it on offer from Sainsbugs.

I suspect you mean sulphites but I would be very surprised if your Jacob's Creek does not contain sulphites.

The cheap stuff contains Sulphites AND Nitrates

Dont know about Nitrates but all wine contains sulphites, but the mass producers add extra sulphites which act as a preservative, and can enhance flavour when added at the right time.

You’ve got more self-control than what I have

Jam Shed gets a slating in the Sainsbug's reviews for being too sweet ?

I agree. Not for me.

More a woman's drink

Probably right Stephen - I like the Rosé because it’s fruity!!!

I'd never hear of Jam Shed so I've been researching, ,Jam Shed's own website won't let me in unless I give my date of birth, unusual to be asked for that! Reading other reviews and on various seller's sites it suggests that the red should be served chilled - do any of you do that! Several reviews criticise it for being too sweet and one says that the sugar level is really high. I looked at the white, they advertise a Chardonnay. I've always been dubious of Australian Chardonnay because too often it's been what I've always called 'Gloopy' - don't know if you know what I mean by that. I've enjoyed some French Chardonnays but not Australian. Anyway as I don't often drink red wine these days, used to love it, I don't suppose I'll be looking for it on my forthcoming cruise.

For me red wine should NEVER be drunk chilled ... others may have a different view of course

ps ... put your date of birth as 11.12.99. Nobody is going to check.

That probably won't work as they will be checking that you are over 18/21 (depending on country). It is not unusual to have todo some form of age confirmation when accessing sites that sell alcohol.

In general I would I agree but on occasions a chilled red on a hot summer's day can be quite palatable.

A birth date of 11.12.99 means one would be 23 years old so I think it would work

I'm with you Moby. Can't stand cold red wine, kills the flavour.

I put a bottle in the airing cupboard for an hour or two, or a glass of red in the microwave on medium for 15-20 seconds. Winter time only of course.


Get some funny looks from the waiter when we are out
