Black Tower White Wine

I love wine. Of the rose variety. In my younger years I was very much a New Zealand white fan. However I have reluctantly found that with age, comes hangover. My post alcoholic encounters with marching bands, conversations with god and helicopter beds have increased dramatically with the years, effectively putting paid to my all night encounters with monsieur v blanc. Thus ensued my switch to the loving arms of the brothers gallo, a gentle rose wine that returned me, once again to my pre hangover days. A whole bottle I could manage along with an accompanying meal. Two weeks ago I had endured an extremely hot and sweaty saturday morning with two ...  Read the complete review

As a student, or an ex-student anyway, I'm always looking for a cheap way to get drunk. Although cheap wines are usually the most efficient method, I find the harsh vinegary palate of most mass-produced cask wines to be unpleasant, and it's all I do to stop myself grimacing each time I take a sip.

I am a white wine fan.My favourite being Black Tower.

When buying a bottle of wine, because I'm no expert, I tend to choose based on the style of the bottle and the price. I chose Black Tower as the bottle is black, opaque and very stylish looking - it looked of a higher quality than some of the other bottles on the shelf. Also, at just £4.99 the price suited me too. It is a German wine and the alcohol volume is 9.5% - slightly lower than some other wines on the market. The bottle holds 75cl and it is also available in rose or red. On tasting the wine I was pleased to find it did not have that zingy, almost vinegary aftertaste that some cheaper wines do. It was light, refreshing, fruity and extremely ...  Read the complete review
