    No, they don’t.

    Are those small tetrapacks of wine high quality and carefully matched with the particular meal you’re cooking, as suggested in the links you seem to set so much store by?

    You do get small bottles of wine here, 7/11 and Family Mart usually stock small varietes of Jacobs Creek. The 'cooking wine' that I've got is the smallest box wine that I've found (2 litres), and doesn't take up much counter space in the kitchen.

    When something is described as cooking wine, only use it for cooking. Beef Burgundy is very nice.

    Excellent looking steak PAG. Does your missus join you for the vegetables? It is a lot of work for one.

    Yes, always double up on the vegetable portions which she'll have with fish or whatever she's cooked for herself.

    Looks extremely tasty. I think the timing is important with steak...

    And what would be suitable wine? Jacob's? I'll take that under advisement. Nah, gin, it's available in 7 as well. Stirred not shaken before meal and ample cherry coke with the food.
    My French frieds are horrified.

    I don't really have words for that suggestion. Where is SA when you need some good diatribe?

    For cooking, get the cheapest wine available. We ain't the bluddy Ritz.

    Steer well clear.


    Cy ... not many would have got your MP reference.

    BTW, which Rumours was it? Chardonnay, Moscato, Pinot Grigio?

    'Dry Red', dave.

    in the bottom 1% of wines from SE Australia on this website, to which I'm now prepared to give considerable credence.

    Rumours Dry Red | Vivino

    There's always one 'paint stripper' enthusiast, though.

    As a cheap red wine to drink while I am living in Thailand, it is pleasant to drink and is good value for money.

    The most important thing is having a quality piece of beef to start with if you're going to pan fry as Pag did but yeah, timing is next in line when it comes to not fucking it up. Yet another thing everyone should be able to do well before leaving home is pan fry a steak to medium rare!

    I can, but I never do. The grill is always beckoning. I just need that char.

    ^Fair enough but not everyone has a BBQ or good weather to use it or a grill but everyone has a fry pan!

    It’s hard to grill steaks when you are is the only one preparing dinner, too.

    On that I beg to differ.
