I have to work Xmas night, so just a couple of bottles of Moretti zero for me. But I don’t have to drive Boxing Day because the games off. So I may have a couple of Sherry shandy’s, some Spaten lager with dinner and I usually get a bottle of port as a gift from a resident I work for, so will hopefully finish the night with a large glass.😉
Been a bit cheeky, but opened a present from my mum early as we are not there tomorrow due to covid in my household, a bottle of single malt whisky from South Africa at 54%. I'm intrigued and counting the hours down to give it a go.
Here in Oz Christmas Day is normally roasting hot so you have to factor that into your boozing or else you will come a cropper!
Couple of years back I premixed a 750ml bottle of Vodka Martini and was so pissed by 5pm that I got bowled first ball by my arsehole brother in law during street cricket and then fell asleep at the table.
You don't see any sherry/port ads now at Christmas...well I haven't/
well apart from @Addickted and a few other survivors of the first world war, no one drinks it anymore.
That's a bit below the belt!! I occasionally partake in having a nice vintage port with cheese after a meal - sometimes with and sometimes without brandy. Can't remember the last time I drank sherry though!
Bang on Bob, love a drop of vintage port, especially with cheese. Not had sherry for years though.
got this as a gift from my mum. Wasn't too sure. Very harsh start, but very peppery almost then tasted like parma violets with a dry finish. But overall very nice although I'm going to open my 25yr Laphroaig when I get to my mums and polish that off.

A new one on me.

Needless to say my Missus wasn’t all that happy.
Handsome!
