Alcoholic drink from South-Western France (the Poitou Charentes region). It is made using rosé or white grape juice which is prevented from fermenting by adding Cognac (brandy) to the barrel. The finished aticle leaves a drink with between 16% and 22% abv (alcohol by volume) and a sweet but strong taste. Best served cold.

cooking lager 

Cheap, usually weak lager. Predominantly sold in cans, but occasionally sold on tap in pubs and clubs.

Cooking Lager has a very dull flavor and is normally heavily carbonated.

Many poor quality lagers were not included on this list as they are too expensive to be classed as cooking lager

St. Anger 

Metallica: Album, 2003.

Not the worst Metallica album (but almost). Could have been alot better.

It's downfall was Lars Ulrich. But Lars is the downfall of every questionable Metallica release (see, 'dodgy drumming, and justice for all').

Lars Ulrich should be killed by a giant dust bin.
