Grappa

Love it or hate it?

It's made with the bits of the grapes that are too bitter to make wine out of: the pips and that. Tastes fucking awful and gives you a hangover like nothing else. Viciously expensive and hard to get hold of the good stuff. The bad stuff is probably lethal.

So. Why do I love it so?

Cos you're a pervert!

It's awful stuff, some git gave me some at the weekend.

:dead:

it's only appreciated by the insane...

Colin IS self-medicating already. It's called Grappa.

The husband of an Italian lady at work makes it in his shed. Highly illegal of course. One day it blew up but luckily no one reported an explosion. I'm sure a few Hail Marys were said that day!
