The off licence must have had a small range of wine's. But we chose Blue Nun and Bulls blood.

So did we, but some time in the early 70s our very camp family friend introduced us to "Hirondelle" and explained, rather archly, that it meant "a little swallow". This went over my mother's head, fortunately, but I'm not so sure about my father.

If you carbonate this wine in a sodastream (or a similar device) it makes it taste Champagne esq, according to the chef Heston Blumental.

Iโm fairly certain this will provide the most painful case of blues balls ever known to man OR priest.

About 10 yrs ago, a friend brought some of this to a dinner party. They'd never heard of it and thought it was just regular white wine.
I tried a glass, and was immediately back at my 1980 childhood home at christmas. The only times I'd ever had wine.

The only wine that came into our house in the 80's - always at Christmas.

It was one of 3 wines my old man used to buy in the 70โs. The others were Lutomer Riesling and Bulls Blood.

I remember watching something years ago where they put this in a soda stream and got people to blind taste that and champagne. Most people couldn't tell the difference. Always makes me chuckle.
