I'm not a fan of spirits at all, although I do enjoy a nightcap in winter and on holidays. I will drink beer, but haven't really got into it, although I'd like to try some ciders for Autumn.
But I have been enjoying wines since I first lived in France at 15. I've taken several wine tasting courses and even went to weekly tastings for a few years.
Nowadays as I'm pregnant I stick to the odd glass once or twice a week, but IMO there really is nothing like a simple meal with good company and a bottle or two of good wine (and a reminder, good wine does NOT have to be expensive!).
It's a good way to honour the seasons and compliment your food.
Hell, Anne's even got me considering . . . *gasp* . . . chardonnay!
