Brits, by and large, accept (and pay vast amounts for) cooking lager full of chemicals. It amazes me what the big brewerys can get away with flogging British drinkers. I think that they brew it deliberately badly for the UK (often brewing it over here) and then laugh at our appalling lack of taste. Even Heineken tastes vastly better when consumed in Amsterdam.
As for wine, there's nothing wrong with a good Tempranillo. I also enjoy a dry Riesling when I have the chance.

Syb, ever seen what passes for beer in America?
In the news recently, a Belguim concerned just perhaps All-American brand Budweiser. They assured the American beer-drinking public that they would not tamper with the recipe.
