Any Port or Sherry drinkers around this morning? Dee ;-))

Bev I know just what you mean about snowballs Ann Must admit I am a bit of a heathen these days, I like a dry sherry over ice Julie Brandy is a drink I have never really liked, once had it with Babycham - big mistake!! Dee xx (hope my son is not reading this, he will disown me!!)

I love sherry and port, especially when I have a cold and am feeling very sorry for myself a measure of brandy and a measure of port (the measures are entirely dependent on personal taste, I usually stop at a pint total though :-)), doesnt help the cold, but depending on how much you drink, you forget it for a while and get a good sleep

Mandy, Ine the words of the song 'Those were the days, my friend' Dee xx

Hi Dee, amongst other alcoholic beverages we usually have sherry in all year, usually a cream although I also like crofts Original. At Christmas we also have Port. thanks for your card and glad the book arrived OK. Ann Glos

And Advocaat (spelling!) Always had a bottle of it at Xmas for the compulsory Snowballs - the most vomit-inducing yuk ever (apologies if you're eating). Bev x

Mandy, my parents favourite wine for Christmas was Mateus Rose, always think of them when I see it in the shops Dee xx

Peter Nice to see traditions still exist Mandy My treat at Christmas was a glass of port and lemon. I got a bit of a shock when I had my first 'pub' port and lemon, I think my parents used to just colour the lemonade Dee xx

Peter Harveys was very posh in a council house in 1970, lol!!! Bev x

Quite so Dee, you are very observant this evening. However I must add sherry can be taken with a mild addition of Ferro Roche.

i love a glass of sherry before dinner and a galss of port after with the after eight mints!! Helen

I think they do Bev, you can get it in liqueur chocolates as well Dee xx

We always buy one of each. The sherry gets drunk before christmas dinner usually by yhe ladies, the port always afterwards by the lads. Harveys is still around, wouldnt say it is posh - reasonable quality for its price.

Lucy I think I will pop over and join you Daniel Does the butler serve it? Dee xx

Do they still make Harveys Bristol Cream sherry? My old nan used to think it was the poshest drink in the world! Bev x

Port. Drank over a game of billiards.

definitely port - to go with the stilton.... Lucy x

My parents used to buy a bottle of each, every Christmas, does anyone still buy them?
