I have had a few (hic) brandy and babyshams in my time, delicious, and snowballs at my nans as a kid, I used to love them, havnt had one in years, (adding them to my list) :-)))

Hubby drinks Port, and after I have bought all his presents he suddenly says ''I hope someone has bought me some port for Christmas. I don't have any left'' To which I replied - I'm not buying anything else lol Guess I'll have to go out and get him one....

Always Port for my stilton, love it.

I've always hated sherry. Don't like the taste and one glass makes me go as red as a beetroot. The thought of sherry trifle makes me heave, as I hate sherry and custard. Port's another matter. We love drinking port with stilton after a meal. I'll drink port and lemon if I'm at someone's house where the only alternatives are beer, scotch or gin with orange squash (Yuk!). I make port jelly as a dessert occasionally, and at Christmastime I make cranberry sauce with orange and port for the turkey. When my MiL died some years ago, we bought several bottles of different sherries, thinking her elderly friends would drink them at the wake. Only two were opened, and only a couple of glasses drunk, so we gave away the others and eventually had to pour the remainder of the opened bottles away. >*|*<

Mix port with WKD Blue. Yum yum! Taste's like Vimto, with a little twist

Off to the golf club this very morning. Our subsciptions include £50 to be spent over the bar - which goes nearly un-spent in my case. The balance goes on exactly what you say - sherry and port, which keeps me going for a long while. cheers and happy days

Paul Can you enlighten an old lady please? What is WKD blue? Cheers Dee ;-))

Sherry for me please Definately Harvey's Bristol Cream Nice in the Trifle too lol Can't drink Port it depresses me and makes me cry for some unknown reason. Regards Jackie

Hi I like both at Xmas but Port is probably the one I prefer. Never have them during the year normally but have on occasions had a tipple next door with my elderly neighbours and bought the odd bottle in a supermarket special offer. Otherwise tend to keep them sacred to Xmas. Don't know why.

........... invisibly coughing.............

Yes please. Either for me... Prefer Sweet Sherry. Ramos-Pinto Ruby Port. Also enjoy a nice Muscat ( Rutherglen ) Tony Oz :>))

port and brandy i like...sherry i had a bad experience on that so steer clear from it these daysxxxxx(((:

Not keen on either but hubby likes port XX

PS to what I said earlier: should I have sherry or port, or both please? cough cough

M & S have got a very tasty new wine, Chocolate Ruby. The chap giving the free tasters last saturday said it went well with cheese. I thought I had better make sure he was right so I bought a bottle! Jane

I like a glass of very dry sherry as an aperitif and my mum will join me this Christmas! In the evening husband and mum will have port with stilton, I like a glass of port on its own as an after-dinner drink, or to accompany a hot mince pie! nell

Joy The only cure for a cough must be rum (proper rum, not that dreadful Bacardi) and blackcurrant, I used to swear by that Or my Dad (if he was still with us) would say whisky and ginger wine Dee xx

Thank you, Dee! No one else had noticed me. I had been invisible. I was getting paranoid. I used to drink rum and black! I must buy some tomorrow. Thank you. Phew...... I am here after all [if you'd not noticed me, I'd have retreated -as I often do - to the Land of Yips ] :-) Joy
