Do you or anyone you know drink GINGER WINE? UK?
It is in a green bottle from Tesco priced about ￡2.60 it is called GREEN Traditional Ginger Wine, bottled by tesco 13.5% alcohol. And looks like whiskey when poured into a glass.
I recenty discovered it and I like it, but wonder how popular it is?
Have you heard of this drink or tried it? It is fairly sweet and smooth and not fizzy, and it seems to settle my stomache.
Tastes a little stronger cause of the ginger, and has a bit of a kick to it!

He obviously sees something in it that I can't!
I think it's disgusting!
