Watered down plonk?? You must be joking!
I thought I would share a letter I received from a Daily Express reader I received today in response to an article I wrote this week.
Briefly, the piece highlighted more older people are choosing to drink lighter, weaker wines instead of the traditional robust varieties.
It is down to retired folk enjoying boozy lunches, apparently, but not wanting to end uunder the table.
Not being a drinker myself the thought of alcohol at lunchtime fills me with horror, even one glass of wine after 7pm leaves me slumped in a chair.
So a gentler plonk might be just up my street, if I ever decide to take up the habit again.
Not so for Mrs Mary Ward, who penned a letter to highlight her amazement that anyone would consider drinking anything that had the strength zapped out of it:
No, thank you Mary, it was lovely of you to write.
And you keep on taking a tipple if it makes you happy.
Enjoy your cheese and wine evening, although you have not persuaded me to start on the strong stuff!
