Talking Battery acid

I just bought a bottle of wine which tastes like battery acid

But it involves alcohol so it's all good

In my previous life as a mechanic I have inadvertantly tasted battery acid (on fingers whilst eating a breakfast bap) and yes, this tastes similar.

A top wine tip from a guy at work. There is a lovely bottle of wine in Asda has a crab on the label only costs about 3 quid. He was tipped off to it by a friend of his who is a buyer for one of the big highstreet wine sellers. He was on his way to buy it but Asda beat him to it bought the whole crop.
