Aussie Wines
Monty Python Sketch

Good evening... For the first time, on record, a twenty-nine part adaptation of
"King Solomon's Mines"... Wines! Sorry. Wines..."King Solomon's Wines"
A lot of people in this country poo-poo Australian table wines. This is a pity as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate but also to the connoisseur of Great Britain.

Black Stun Bordeaux is rightly praised as a peppermint flavored Burgundy, whilst a good Sidney Sirup can rank with any of the worlds best sugary wines. Chateau Blue, too, has won a great many prizes, not least for it's taste and it's lingering after burn. Old Smokey, 1968, has been compared favorably to a Welsh Claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommend a 1970 Cote du Rodlaver, which,
believe me, has a kick on it like a mule. Eight bottle of this and your REALLY finished... At the opening of the Sidney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half-an-hour...

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in and the message is "BEWARE" !... This is not a wine for drinking. This is a wine for laying down and avoiding !... Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Albon Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should only be used for hand-to-hand combat. Quite the reverse is true of Chateau Tchanda, which is an Apalachon controlled especially grown for those keen on regurgitation. A fine wine which really opens the sluices at both ends... Reelametic fans will also go for a Hobarth Muddy, and a prize winning Cuve Reserve Chateau Bottle Louis St-Wagawaga, which has a bouquet on it like an aborigine's armpit...
