You quite clearly have not been paying attention. On no account do you turn up and ask for a red wine. The Colonel will immediately think you are totally unsuited to reside in this rural idyll. No No No.You ask for a large 25year Malt Whisky. It would help if you could reel off a few makes in order not to embarrass the Colonel on your first " at home" in case his cellar is somewhat limited.
On no account should you add lemonade just in case you were thinking of that.
If you require any help and further advice do not hesitate to ask as we ALL want this to be an experience you will never forget which will propel you into Hampshire society.

Whilst writing this I am enjoying a glass of BRUICHLADDICH but I have to admit it is only 15 years old.
