Analysts and alcopops

Analysts and alcopops
28 Apr 2006

Its nearly the weekend. Last week, Duncan Chapple wrote a piece on analysts and wine. I said in the comments that I think he missed a few beverages, and I've added a few more here:

Real ale - a little nutty but better than the ordinary
Lager - bland, but reliable
Cheap whisky - best watered down
Port - you'd think it would improve with age but it doesn't
Good brandy - aging, but well formed and consistent
Vimto - sickly sweet but strangely endearing
Guinness - impenetrable
Caffeine-free diet cola - so much taken out you wonder why its there at all
Alcopops - seems good at first but leads to confusion later
“New" coke - invention beyond the call of necessity
Vodka - don't notice its there but makes a big difference
