Yeah I had to call out of work today cause of wine. Half off glasses and 50 cent oysters. Woke up this morning like nooooope
I got to wine late.
You can't drink it like vodka and juice or whatever. I can't pace that shit at all. One glass. Das it

There's alcohol you sip to get the flavor out of it, and then there's alcohol to drink quickly to get drunk. Choose wisely.
I have no idea how people drink wine. It tastes like what I imagine the chemicals under the sink taste like.
By domino Go To PostI drink it like juice and I pay for it the next day
Being wine drunk is my favorite drunk though
Yeah you better be drinking $25+ bottles if you want to not feel super super terrible on a day after heavy wine drinking. Stay away from wines that have high residual sugars too. Stick to dry reds and whites if you're drinking more than 3 or so glasses.
By DY_nasty Go To PostRed wine bodied me
Yes. Fuck. Drink it all the time tho lol
By data Go To PostI don't drink. I'm sure that's for the best.
Me either, I'm pretty sure I'd be like the Weeknd if I did.
Teetotal brethren UNITE!
Drinking culture here is quite bad and I just dont find being drunk to be fun.

I actually enjoy drinking, can't beat necking a couple bottles of bucky and running down the street with tinsel around your dick come this time of the year. However I completely cut off drinking last year due to an alcoholic family member. Still would enjoy a drink, but I don't ever want to end up like they did.
Dealing with drunk people this time of year is the worst.
Part of why I am glad I no longer work in central london.
Being a decent human being means I automatically become responsible for some lass who's become shitfaced and passed out at a bus stop.

Never liked wine. And never understood as something you drink over dinner. I suppose I never developed a palette for it
If you're just starting out with wine I'd honestly say for whites do some Gewürztraminer, Buttery Chardonnays or Romerhof Riesling. For reds do blends or bold/bodied Cabernets. Drier reds will probably just be too much and are meant to go with food, they aren't sipping wines. To me various alcohol is like coffee, you work on your palette and go from there. Pair stuff together. One of my favorite snacks is wine and cheese tbh.

There’s a chemical reason for this. Something with fats and tannins. Don’t remember the details.
Just read up tannins bind to the fat of cheese or protein of meats rather than dry your mouth out by binding to saliva protein.

Yeah … that's why a rib eye is great with pairing with a Cab that's heavy in tannins. I actually learned this at a wine and cheese pairing event.

Sounds Elite
It was. Thankfully not on my dime. My wife worked as a catering director for a fancy Italian food place. Owner took us to some even in Beverly hills. Got a Limo and everything.

By Smokey Go To PostWine and cheese pairing event huhThe local ren faire back home does this on Sundays during the festival. On Saturdays, they have whiskey tasting. :D

Something I learned at a whiskey tasting I didn’t know until then. When you smell a whiskey, you don’t swirl the drink around like one would with wine. When you do, it makes it hard to sense the notes through tbe smell of alcohol. You’re supposed to blow out the alcohol from the glass before you smell tbe whiskey.
Now you’ll look elite even if you’re not

What kind of cunt goes to a whisky tasting? Probably significant overlap with an Epstein party guest list.

My 30th b day was a whiskey tasting. As my wife was a catering director, I got access to whiskey at cost. I had bottle of pappy and buffalo trace anniversary collection among others
