My last drink was on the plane, a very nice Bordeaux. However the wine list went to pains to explain the wine with the usual overblown bollix about notes of this and hints of that and the one thing i wanted to know as i already understand the wines which was missing was the alcohol %.
I should have know the meal which i posted was going to be a disaster when i asked the %. The steward replied they are all between 12 and 14%. Yes i get that but i would like to know the % of these two wines, he replied somewhere between 12 and 14%. OK lets try again, can you get the bottle and show me please, penny dropped, Oh yes. So the Bordeaux it was as 12.5%. I have taken a dislike to the stronger end of the wines at 14- 14.5%.
