You should also try Pedro Ximenez.......it's delicious, syrupy, rich. I think it's made in barrels that have been used to make wine, sherry and brandy.so it's full of taste and definitely to be recommended! You can buy it most wine shops and I'm fairly sure you can get it at sainsbury's or waitrose.

Answer from Jonathan Ray Guru
I think you’re talking about Rubis, a fortified wine (made from Tempranillo) infused with chocolate (dunno how). Its provenance is rather cloudy (no hint of where it’s from on the bottle, but probably Australia) and I think it’s fair to say that it’s aimed at the laydeez. Something of an acquired taste, being a bit like a chocolate ruby port, it’s only £5.99 per 50cl at Asda, Tesco, Somerfield and Booths, so why not give it a try?
