#2 William the Conquerer's Domesday Book (circa 1090) documented wine production as widespread in England at the time, and in many places was the most valuable commercial crop.

#5 Look, I know all of you are right. It's just, since reading the article, I can't rid of the thought "English wine, goes with steak & kidney pie".

#11 What wine goes with snorkers?

#12 I'd stick with the full bodied reds for snorkers and steak & kidney pie. Something Sangre de Torro-ish.

Or Stout if you opt out of the wine, for the pie at any rate. Porter might do okay for the bangers.

#15 Alaska Paul: Good catch. "/channeling the Leftenant on the Compass Rose". Even worse, he was an Australian, and that drove them all crazy.
