We would usually take wine too, usually a bottle that someone brought to us on a previous occasion as we never drink it any other time!

A decent bottle of wine and possibly a box of after dinner mints.

A bottle of wine, always. But Mrs d00d likes to take flowers .... it's what they do where she comes from.

I would take the wine I like. I don't know enough about other people's tastes.

I'm very socially inept, and whatever I do always seems to be the wrong thing. The best strategy I have come up with to get round the problem is to not turn up.
