What drink to not take the piss?

Here's the situation...

I've absolutely hated dentists since as far back as I can remember and would do anything to get out of going to one. I recently went private to a nice place (which happened to be owned by the father of my best friend).

His dad really helped me out, offered a great service and I had some work done which should have cost me just shy of £1k which I was happy to pay full price for but he refused to take any money because me and his son have been friends for such a long time.

I'd really like to buy this man a bottle of wine, whiskey or something else. What is a 'fool proof' drink to buy and how much should I be spending? I don't mind spending that little extra as I don't want to give him a bottle of something cheap and nasty!

thanks

There's wine threads, whisky threads already. Nail down which he prefers and head there.

Next question please.

The standard rate for medical work for friends & family is a case of wine.

Pick a budget, buy a mixed case, have it delivered.

Or just treat him to a night of hookers & blow.

In.

In.

He probably wouldn't fancy you.

Berry Bros. & Rudd might be worth a look for this. I've been informed that their London shop is very good and approachable and I've been meaning to visit for ages.

Good shout - BBR are very good - they have traded from the same shop since 1698!!!

Go in - give them a budget and ask them what they would recommend - a half case of better wine might be better received than a dozen cheaper bottles imo.

Actually isn't someone on the forum a wine dealer?? Can't remember who though....

Ask your friend what his dad likes? He might not even drink!

A Cervelo should do

Everyone fancies me.

I import my family Champagne in London.

All magnums and jeroboams come in wooden cases and look really smart - always a great gift.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa much?!

£48 for a Brut Magnum (150cl)
£50 for a Rosé Magnum (150cl)
£125 for a Brut Jeroboam (300cl)

They all come in Champagne Lasseaux & Fils branded wooden cases.

I also have gift bags for our 75cl bottles if you don't want to spend that much - our 2005 Vintage Champagne is only £23.50
