Hey Helen,  it's midnight there - don't you have a pumpkin to catch?

I've been had at work at the cauldron today making huge batches of casserole and spag bol to freeze for the parents of grandbaby #2

Is it wine o'clock yet?

It is wine o'clock for me, the good thing about Nz is it comes earlier :

Lurker, it's wine o'clock whenever the hell you want it to be

can someone tell me what is a good wine - not too expensive, but not vinegar either.

I don't know anything about wine - red or white - have been a Southern Comfort man all my life plus the odd licquer. 

I have tried a few wines in the past but always found them too 'tart' for my taste. Is that the right word? I have a sweet tooth and so does her-indoors. We have gone through a few 'orgasms' in our time - cointrou and bayleys, but never tried much wine. I thought this would be a good time to start.

If you like sweet try - Brown Brothers Orange Muscat & Flora white wine.

Or any late harvest riesling.

Mr. Rabbit, I can't tell you anything about wine as I don't drink it.  Not sure why, but even what is described as the sweetest of wines taste kind of bitter to me.

Having said that, I do cook with it quite a bit xx

Go for a red with a high percentage of merlot. This gives a fruity taste that is sweeter. Aussie merlots are quite "plummy".

For whites try what can be termed dessert wines. They are sweet.
