Domain Henri Gouges - Nuits St Georges, 2000. Very nice and worth the price I paid en-primeur but not worth the current market value.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
heppie - were you drinking good real coffee, (plunger, espresso, or vacuum) or were you drinking instant?

Good real coffee: plunger and vacuum in industrial quantities. Haven't touched the instant for over a decade.
Feel much better for eschewing it. Tetley tea with milk and sugar is a welcome alternative

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Caffeine poisoning or overdose is a real thing and at what might be thought of a pretty "normal" levels of ingestion these days.
Mostly seen in people who ingest coke (cola not the nose candy) and energy drinks, but sometimes in coffee. Can result in the shakes and panic attacks and diarrhea. Usually worse with instant coffee. Cutting back usually fixes it in a week or so.
I have seen people with it. And years ago I had it a bit - from drinking instant - and not eating - I'd drink about 12 cups of instant a day plus a pack of Camel, and not eat all day.
I haven't let an instant coffee touch my lips for over 15 years now. I usually have two cups of coffee first up at home and then another one or two during the day. It doesn't seem to hop me up much these days.
Its pretty common in melbourne to go for a coffee where in UK/Ire people might go for a drink. Very common here to finish a night out at a fillum or music or whatever wit ha late night coffee at 1 am. Also common to go to a good coffee shop after a meal - not have coffee at the restaurant.
In Melbourne there is a coffee shop in every second space in the city and every 5th space in the suburbs. They are down lanes in holes in the wall and on mobile vans in front of workplaces.

Coca Cola, perfect to boost the sugar levels after a night on the booze.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Domaine St Pierre Vacqueyras 2005. It has been lovely from the moment I started it in 2007 but has now broadened out into something better than that. I am pleased because I thought it had the structure to develop further and - although I reckon it's not going to get much better - I kept it back on that basis. I will drink the remaining case (yes! Result) with pleasure in the next couple of years.
On the nose it is sweet and slightly violet. The taste is blackstrap and tobacco, supported by good acidity and a bit of blackcurrant (even though no Cab in it). The length is good and the whole package is well-knit and harmonious. It was £8 a bottle and represents wonderful value for the price I think (Wine Finder says it's going for £23 a bottle in Singapore).

Royal Brackla distilled in 1991, bottled in 2009 from sherry casks. Sweet, spicy and herb like in all the right places. Shame I'm going to be drinking prosecco for the rest of the week.
Giving up whisky was a mistake, like Bogart and Niven before me, drinking wine isn't working out as originally planned.

George T. Stagg Kentucky Bourbon. Neat, in one of those fancy schmancy Glencairn whiskey glasses. The concentrated fumes from this monster have singed my nose hairs, but this is a damn fine bourbon.

Something called fejoia vodka. It was foul so it's stayed at the back of the cupboard since I was given it, but I've discovered it mixes rather well with tonic water. Bottoms up!

Had one bottle of Tesco Boheme Czech pilsen last night while watching Sparta Prague vs Liverpool. Dreadful game. Beer was OK though.

Belle-Vue Kriek: Cherry beer. Despite the return of a vengeful winter, a very noble expression of the fruit brewers art.
Had a bottle of Albert Hein's organic chardonnay from an unnamed vineyard from Chile last night. At a wopping 14% it really hit the mark and tasted pretty damn good too for 3.99Euro bottle. Of course, the lingering hangover revealed it cheap and nasty quality this morning and some of the early part of the afternoon. I won't be drinking that on a school night.
