Try Lidl. They had Glühwein in 2005, but it came with instructions in German. It is quite possible that the customers didn't heat it up and drank it as they wold a normal bottle of red wine and found it awful. Mind you, Lidl definitely would not have Glühwien on August 1st. Anywhere.

Besides it never gets cold enough in Ireland for Glühwein.

It does in my body. I don't have much by way on insulation. I shall have a look in Lidl in a few months time.

Lidl also had "Grog" in in 2005. This stuff was good but I do know of a few cases where the customers did drink this cold and thought it was great.

There's nowt so queer as folk.

I remember when I first went to Germany finding it very hard to understand the food.

cookie. Remember Samson. His source of strength and virility was in his follicular fortitude. Keep it and nourish it with the best of care and you will live well and strong.

I'm liking classical music btw. Brahms and Vivaldi have been my accompaniment to the excellent discussion here on MN.

A while back I bought one of those 101 great classics type CDs, it was €5 or something like that. Recordings aren't great but worth a fiver.

I remember when watching the likes of Countdown and Fifteen to One on a relaxing Friday afternoon a few years back, there was this ad for a whole collection of classical music CDs. I think it was called "Classical Greats" or something like that. They came in a big goldy-lookin' card case and cost about 30 euro.

I got "Classical Gold" a fifty cd box set with four bonus cds for 6.99 euro in Musgraves. It's excellent with every composer you can think of.

I would have bought 10 of them had I been a classical music hawker

I think that's the one. Any classical composer you wanted, it was there in the case.
