    I can't stand cough syrups like Campari or Aperol (both made by the same company, by the way), not to mention stuff like Jägermeister or all those other herb-based liqueurs. They're either too sweet, or too bitter, or both.

    Give me even a mediocre sherry over any of those liquid candies any time. "There is no year for sherry, 007." Ok, but there is always a season for it. :-)

    Campari with Draco sounds very fine, as long as I'm on his good side.

    Maybe he'd let me follow it up with an Americano.

    I love Campari, and Draco seems like enjoyable company, so no doubt in my mind what I'd choose.

    Tough one. I might try the Campari, if only because I generally love Italian stuff and it sounds more exotic.

    Really not a fan of Campari or anything that uses it (Negronis or Americanos aren’t my thing). So the sherry.

    I love Campari so this is an easy one for me. Marvelous.

    I absolutely detest Campari, wheras I do like a good Sherry. But a chance to sit and talk to Draco I wouldn't want to miss for the world. Some people are definately worth accepting some discomfort for. So I'll pretend to drink a bit and sit with Draco.

    Bond isn't always about the finer things in terms of drink. So I have to ask:

    Would you rather drink red wine with fish OR have a bottle of Phu-Yuck?

    Red Grant made the mistake of drinking red wine with his sole. Chat GPT states the following about why this isn't a wise choice:

    Drinking red wine with fish can sometimes create an unpleasant metallic taste because certain red wines contain higher levels of tannins, which can clash with fish oils. Tannins, the compounds responsible for that dry, astringent sensation, can react with the iodine in fish, resulting in flavors that don’t harmonize well. This reaction can give a slightly bitter or metallic aftertaste, especially with delicate white fish.

    On the other hand we have the following from TMWTGG.

    I always thought the wine shared by Bond and Goodnight was a joke written by the screenwriters. Turns out it is a real brand of wine in Thailand. Chat GPT describes it below:

    Phuyuck wine, which originates from Thailand, has a reputation more for its quirky name than its flavor. The wine is generally considered to be low quality, with a taste profile that can be described as rough, harsh, and somewhat acidic. It’s typically produced from local grape varieties not commonly used in premium winemaking, which contributes to its rather unrefined flavor. The taste is often compared to vinegar or overly sour fruit, with minimal complexity, making it a unique yet challenging drink for those used to more refined wines.

    In recent years, however, Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia have made strides in viticulture and winemaking, so modern wines from the region are evolving. But Phuyuck remains a novelty wine with a particular reputation for being an acquired taste.

    So which are you drinking?
