The **Now Drinking** Thread

Went to a big Aldi near Preston yesterday (the nearest is a piddly little one) and spent £280 on their amazing Xmas drinks range.

I got twenty bottles in total including lots of great wine plus the 1973 Ducastaing Armagnac, Kraken Spiced Rum, a 1985 vintage Port, two Monsigny B de B Champers, and a Baileys rip-off.

Bombay Sapphire gin with Schweppes tonic water, crushed ice and a slice of lime.

Doesn't top the G&T I had in York last weekend at the rather euphemistically named Whippet Inn, which was comprised of Slingsby gin, Fever Tree tonic water, blueberries, a slice of grapefruit and ice.
 
Nice brews there Kenny, you're right about an abundance of good beer shops at the minute. The Goat is probably my favourite in the area but got a special bit of my heart reserved for Good Spirits.

Sure I'll bump into you at some point!

Good Spirits Company on Bath Street. They've just opened a beer and wine shop round the corner as well. If you've never been into either, you must!

I rated Hippo when they opened, but they don't seem to get anything particularly interesting in anymore. Last few times I've been in I've just got my usual daily beers.
