Sainsburys: Assholes of the Day............

Popped into the local Sainsburys to pick up some chicken fillets and a bottle of plonk. Used the self checkout, had to wait for approval for the plonk only to be asked by some moronic tart if I had been drinking. Apparently if they smell alcohol on your breath they can refuse to sell you alcohol. Having just had a 'short' lunch with 3 clients of course I had been drinking. It was only 15:30 for f**ks sake. Went to complain about this bullshit only to be told they don't do complaints. Guess who has just lost my business.

PS And the plonk is rough, avoid McGuigan Estate Shiraz

If it's shiraz you want, go for Wolf Blass Yellow label.
usually it's about 8 - 9 quid a bottle but sometime the supermarkets will have it on special for 5 to 6 quid.
For whites, go for a marlborough sauv blanc from NZ.

Too right, we use McGiugan's to cook
meat but we never drink that bitter crap! Can you get decent NZ Syrah in the UK? Most Aussie shiraz is very quaffable but has little other merit, in fact, I am not sure it is actually grape juice half the time.
