Would you drink Celtic wine?

[purplepoppy]

A lot of people are surprised to learn the celtic countries also produce wine as well as drink it. In fact, it's probably better than that French stuff.

So what celtic wine would you stick a straw in to enjoy while watching your favourite daytime TV show?

(I've left out Brittany)

Welsh wine

Scottish wine

Irish wine

Cornish wine

I don't drink wine

[AI Opinion]

I’d absolutely drink Celtic wine, straw and all 😄

From your list, I’d reach first for an English still white or sparkling from Cornwall or Sussex, something crisp and zippy like a Bacchus or traditional-method bubbly. Perfect with daytime TV and a plate of cheese and crisps.

A Welsh Pinot Noir rosé would be my second choice, delicate but with character.

[DryGermanGuy]

Sure, if someone knowledgeable recommended a specific bottle. Could you?

[RavVid]

We can all agree on not touching the French muck.

To be fair, it could be OK now because British and global retailers hired Australians to sort out French wine. Plus France is sending out vitners to Australia to learn how to make wine. So they might have decent indigenous wine making skills by now.

I would like to try Welsh wine but it is going to have to be Cornish wine that I sample because there is a Cornish pub 9.7 Km away and I can get there by tram. So no prob if I really do like it - that's important.

I don't know why but we don't have any Welsh pubs. Do the Welsh not like building pubs when they emmigrate? Was it the teetotaling methodist Welsh that came out?

[purplepoppy]

That's a good question. Plenty of Irish pubs around the world but welsh ones are non existent. I know there was a big temperance movement in the 1800s and until fairly recently it was illegal to sell alcohol on Sunday in wales. Even before that the welsh were Christian fanatics so yes it's probably down to religion

[RavVid]

Seems like Welsh Methodists would not use real wine in communion but insisted on grape juice instead.

You are not personally short on pubs are you? I know from previous discussions you have that nice surrender pub, so you at least have one. :)

Making amateur wines is a relatively widespread hobby, and I'm one of those amateurs. Wine can indeed be made of many kinds of fruit; grapes of course, but to name some others: apples, pears, cherries, redcurrents, etc. Wine can even be made with rhubarb...

Having to this day not had the opportunity to taste what you call "celtic wines", you make me very curious.

[xawyx-3]

I don't drink alcohol in general, but I would try... if the taste is not very unpleasant.
I usually don't like wines, unless they are a bit sweet, like Italian Prosecco.

[MrChinaski]

Errr... ummm... errr... don't you need sunlight to make wine?

[lilBigPotato]

If someone would offer me to try I guess why not, but I wouldn't go out of my way or spend money on it to try.

[emeraldsaphire]

I don't drink much, but when I do, it's usually French or Italian wine. I could try Cletic wine.

[Ill_made_Knight]

I'm absolutely ignorant when it comes to wine. that said I'm happy to try most fermented drink in moderation.

[AngryCarl3]

Women say they hate beer yet they drink wine (which tastes like vinegar) like it's going out of fashion. What's the deal?

[purplepoppy]

Nicer glass

[Sal_Monella]

I don't prefer a glass. I drank it directly from the bottle.

[Alex-Snow]

Umm I have never heard of Celtic wine, but I would try it if given the opportunity. Do they really drink it out of straws?

[AviatorTom]

I've had Welsh wine. It has a unique taste.

[purplepoppy]

I didn't know Americans could be so diplomatic.

[Anonymous]

Never cared for wine. Just pass me the whiskey please.

[Iron_Man]

Sure I will try it why not Celtic British wine no problem that will be interesting 👍🏻

[Siajanua2027]

White Castle Cabernet Franc from Wales is the best

[NathanDavis]

I would give it a try, at least

[Nikki1989]

I am not a wine drinker.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't drink at all!

[exitseven]

Never touch the stuff

[Anonymous]

I do not enjoy Welsh whines.

[Paige2006]

Yes I would! In fact I would love to!

[Staximus]

That’s me in the last picture

[RedInnocent69]

Cornish, because I like the pasties
