Fair question.
In truth, I have never felt better. I always eat at the same time and I take plenty of exercise.
Who knows how I will be in ten years time but having seen siblings die in their forties, who didn't drink or smoke, I will not hold back - within reason!

Obviously red is a very personal choice and I blow my nose at anyone that tells me how to drink it. A friend of a friend that has his own yard swears by warming the red wine bottle in the micro for 5 secs or even putting the bottle in the shower to bring it up above room temperature. I like to try different things so I gave it a try and the taste is like a completely different drink, try it sometime and you can blow your nose in my general direction 😀

I was in Porto a couple of years ago and drank a fair bit of Douro red. It was top notch but you don’t seem to find much of it here.

Other regions worth looking out for are Dao, Transmontano and Alentejo for a range of full-bodied reds.
Portugal is obviously known for vinho verde, a slightly spritzy white that’s perfect for outdoors in the summer.
Personal favourite is Moscatel, a rich and delicious dessert wine. They make it in Douro but the Setúbal variety is my preference.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

One of my work colleagues mentioned to a customer to look and feel the "pit" on the base of the bottle - the deeper it is, the better quality of the wine. Is this true at all?

Was served a bottle of rioja at Cafe
Café Andaluz yesterday that was well above room temperature. Pointed this out to my wife at the time and wasn't sure what to make of it,,,, turns out warm red wine is bloody acidic and causes horrific heartburn.

Perception of various elements in a wine can change dramatically with things like temperature, aging and exposure to air. For example, the colder the wine is, the sharper the acidity will feel, in part because the cold also masks any sweetness the wine has, mutes the aromatics and makes the wine’s body seems less full. As a wine warms up, it can come across as sweeter and more aromatic, its acidity will be masked.

It certainly won't put me off going back but I'll try not to drink from a bottle that feels like it's been lying next to an oven,,,,
