Wine drunk is really good for when you just want to do nothing and watch netflix, and a 6$ bottle of wine will get you there. Anything more and you're just not respecting the true value of wine

Vodka in particular.

Bolek posted:Lol if you're a grown rear end adult and still believe what wine tasters and "experts " say.It's basically the horoscope for elitists Yeah, the way to do wine is basically "figure out what you like and try and find stuff that tastes like that". My favorite wine ever was $18, and there's a wine I buy all the time for like $16 that tastes pretty similar so I drink lots of that. I've had expensive wine I've liked and disliked, what a surprise taste is subjective. Think for yourself and let others do the same, it's really no big deal. Let rich people waste their money and feel good about it if they want, they're not forcing you to buy $4,000 bottles of Bordeaux or whatever.

People buy wine because marketing. Wine is the socially acceptable alcohol to pair with most meals. There are other alcohols for alcoholics, but they are not wine. Instead of valuing immediately relevant qualities of wine (alcohol content, taste, less sulfites, etc.) people are led to believe how old the wine is, or what it smells like are important. There are numerous examples shown on television and in films of people "enjoying" wine with a meal or with friends or at parties. The cumulative effect of this subtle campaign is massive. Plenty of people fall for marketing but if you can determine what you like and appreciate beyond the influence of corrupt corporate interests and popular consensus, you will be a better person for it. (Even if you decide there are kinds of wine you like - being counterculture is irrelevant to the process.)

There are differences between wines, but commercial wines are blended, and expensive ones blended with a hundred times their volume in lovely stuff, so that they can sell hundreds of thousands of bottles instead of hundreds.

Heads up your bottle of Yellowtail Cab is not as good as Earthquake. Like yes, some cheap wines are unbelievably good, but lmao at people who insist the 6$ crap tastes (or that that cheap crap is the cheap stuff that most people talk about being just as good when it's actually trash Wood league poo poo) just as a decent bottle just because they want to feel less like they're missing out and justify their inept rage at people who have actually drank enough wine above the swill line to tell the difference between like, a Pinot Noir and a Cab and can sit there and say "Yeah this wine fruity as poo poo and that one meaty." and have it actually be true versus the retard who insists his bottle of Petit Petite has a hint of pencil lead.

It's me, I'm the man that can parse out 6 distinct flavors out of a sip of old money laundering props. And then I spit it out because swallowing is vulgar

I think the more important question is if "wine drunk" is a real thing or not this merits further investigation with this bottle of wine with a rooster on it and the movie Face/Off

No one actually ENJOYS wine they are just pretending to because they want to seem sophisticated, that's just a fact folks. And I'll tell you what. I don't even drink wine. I drink Pepsi.

I went to a concert with some chums over the weekend and because I have no sense of hearing (deafness - google it) I did not detect the subtle harmonies and juicy rhythms and melodies and other poo poo I'm supposed to detect. It all looked like bad dancing and they might as well have pointed out to me the subtle sounds of crying babies and smoke alarms and the unmistakable alarm clock buzz and I would have been fine with it. I mean its music, I guess you can be entertained if you listen enough but do people really buy some type of music because it has more soul than some other label, also who cares what your music actually sounds like when you can dance in total silence.

I'll drink me some giant cock, and my fiance always gets all pissed off at me for talking about it constantly while drinking said cock wine.

I'm drinking a shitload of brandy atm, which is basically wine X-TREME, but I have 6 gallons of berry wine to bottle tomorrow, and also a decent bottle of Bordeaux around here somewhere...so, what I'm saying is that I like wine, and I'm sad for you, OP.
