pnhmrk Posted July 21, 2007 #32 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Now, a little far. I have had some truly bad fizz and Pol A is no where near them. I would rate PA as below drinks like Appletize! Yes a little bland, artificial and sharp, the "quality" microwave dinner of wines. (Though I don't own a microwave). I wonder if we try the same stuff! I would describe it as cloyingly sweet and sickly. Although I doubt there is an artificial flavouring added I would agree that it tastes as if there is! As to microwaves - they are useful. PA Isn't:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindlychap Posted July 21, 2007 Author #36 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thank you for enlightening me Tom. Is the 'club' exclusive to the QE2? The crossing is in January as part of the world cruise. Ergo QE2 only. At least to date. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel-to-go Posted July 21, 2007 #40 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well, I had thought I have GOT to try this stuff, to see what the Brits find so objectionable! Figured I would probably like it! But as someone says it is sweet... Someone who has tried both, Is it a bit like Asti Spumante? Then I could not stand it! Karie, who thinks champagne should be dry not sweet. if it is too sweet, then it has not finished its ferment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJL Posted July 22, 2007 #47 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Originally posted on the "QE2 - coffee in the morning thread". Think it's more suitable here! Introducing......... ...PABF - the Pol Acker Benevolence Fund. Poor old Pol Acker gets a very poor deal on this website and all these poor unwanted bottles of cheap cooking fizz, sorry, lovely sparkling wine deserve a good home where they can be drunk...errrr...I mean they can be cared for in an atmosphere of peace and harmony. The PABF drop-off depot for the January 6th 2008 Transatlantic will be cabin 3092. Thankyou :) PS We at PABF will alsho, if really...hic..... pushed, lower ourshelves to guzzle, shorry, look after any stray bottles of Bolly..yum!...hurrah!....and Moet that come our way.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkpon Posted July 22, 2007 #48 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I can remember hearing that a passenger left her bottle of Pol Acker as a tip to her stewardess for the whole of the world cruise. The passenger's luggage was mysteriously dumped overboard that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
