tim2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Any interest in a World Cup of Wine? Or are you going to reinforce the stereotype of RL being a Northern Sport for proper blokes who drink ale with a "white wine for the lady". "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hell yes, why not? If nothing else, it'll irk the class warriors.

Taste, range of wines, quality, value for money, just like the beers. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.

Countries. 10 straight to the finals, 2 qualifying rounds to supply 6 more finalists. 4 groups of 4, winners to semis, then the final. Bring it on.

Futtocks Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Lebanon - hardly any winemakers, but one of them is Chateau Musar, which gives them a big advantage.

Maybe the winner will get its own Regional competition... Anyway, we're up and running! Get voting!
