There are three different types of wine: Red, Sparkling and stupid trash for alcoholics. Stick to the first one, unless you are rich. Buy overpriced french champagne if you're rich and drink it out of a sippycup.

and make sure you pair the wine with some food (its ok to steal other peoples ideas for that), how the right wine and food work together is like half the enjoyment of drinking wine...nearly as goood as the alcohol intoxication (however it also doesnt require a commitment to getting yourself drunk to practice). once again, no fancy food required...a chipotle steak fajita burrito and a bottle of two buck chuck shiraz can be fantastic together when consumed simultaneously

Wine, cheese and olives make for the best drat pre-dinner snack

Also makes you feel like some kind of roman aristocrat, especially if you have a post-dinner orgy

First:

Look at the color of the edge of the wine against a white surface. Lighter it is, younger it is. Unless it's a white in which case gently caress you human being.

Then swirl. You're looking for the legs that drip on the side of the glass. More Closely grouped, the more alcoholic.

Then smell. Think of the memories this scent evokes.

Finally sip and taste. Really let the taste overflow your tongue.

Congrats! Time to get drunk and finger a waitress in a poo poo restaurant near boca juniors in buenos aires. You're cheating on your gf in the same room sure but you were never good enough for her anyway.

Yeah it's not like there's a substantial body of research showing that no one can actually distinguish between different wine varieties in a totally blind test or anything.

If you have an amish market near you, get their cheese. It is ridiculously good. Otherwise just get whatever, I'm not a cheese snob. Cracker Barrel cheese is pretty good.

Manzanilla olives stuffed with pimento or get out. Black olives are the sign of the devil.

You just drink wine. Eventually you'll get bored of what you can afford. As if by magic you have become a wine snob.

Smoked Gouda goes with Reds

Hard Parm slices and salami goes well with Whites.

Mozzarella goes well with sweet wines.

Plain Kalamata olives. No other.

Water Crackers are acceptable, if your a huge vuhjay.

1.) Become a wine-drunk. It's cool though, because housewives do it.
2.) Talk about tannens and oakiness.

That's pretty much it.

pretty much any good examples of either are going to be good, but fino sherry or dry beers are way better with olives than wine.

Be one of those wine snobs who get all snobby about 10-20 dollar bottles of wine being just as good as 200 dollar bottles of wine. Make sure to bring up that wine 'judges' (use air quotes) will fail to tell the difference between expensive wine and 2 buck chuck at least once during every dinner conversation when out with friends. Don't fail to mention "oak/mahogany/pine notes, with a hint of (insert name of berry here)" when tasting a bottle of wine that cost 9 bucks that tastes like fermented Juicy Juice. Basically be my parents.

It's been scientifically proven that nobody can taste all the poo poo they claim to taste when sipping a glass of wine. Op can trust me because I worked at Total Wine for like 4 months before walking out.
