I think you could actually use the second, but I won't bet the house on it. Where's grammer officer Tom McMonkeyBungee guy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a preference, you should use, "I would rather have a Legend Pilsener than a Budweiser." I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is if that your thread used Capri Sun as one of the choices and put it down in any way, it would have been deleted before you got your answer.

rockpile Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 HopsGuy has answered correctly. However, I'd rather have a glass of Shiraz 806967[/snapback] Bottled in Australia, natch! I have gotten so my wine is from Italy, Australia, or South America. The French still make the best Pinot Noir though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
