Great tasting note/cheap wine defense

[Jenise]

Just saw this hilarious TN on CellarTracker from, I am guessing, someone in Great Britain:

"What vile juice hath satan spat forth here? What sputum erupts from his belly? This is anti-wine. Non-wine.

Echo Falls - marketed in the UK to chav women obsessed with getting smashed and stumbling down an English city centre street near you screaming and shouting obscenities at 2am. Marketed to make the proles think they are sophisticated because they are drinking "wine" when in fact they are a glugging down manufactured product - the liquid equivalent of a Big Mac or a Mars Bar.

And why did I drink this? Because my poor old mum bought me a bottle and insisted on having a glass together and I couldn't say no. I grimaced, drank up and thought of fluffy bunnies to make the pain go away. I feel dirty and ashamed."


Next time someone pours me cheap dreck, I'm definitely going to try the fluffy bunnies trick.

LOL!

What is the user name of the writer of this post? I would like to read more of them .

PS: No need to answer. I found him/her with a bit a googling. Nothing else so superb in the other posts I read but a person whose palate seems in sympathy with mine so worth following.

Tim, I discovered it when the writer of it reposted it in CT's General Discussion Forum to a fun thread asking for people's tasting notes on worst wines.

I have found that thread, Jenise. I have several candidates but I think it's a bit late to revive the thread.

What a great tasting note! I thought Robert Parker's "vinous equivalent of Liquid Plumber" was good, but this beats it hands down. So it seems that the UK has come up with a wine-oid product even worse than Babycham.
