disgusting plebs, ask your sommelier for bottles of Causse Marines (NOTABLY 2009 OR 2011 VINTAGE) If you consider yourself a fan of farmhouse ales with notes of barnyard you will immensely enjoy this red WINE which displays every desirable trait of a juicy red with the tannins of a farmhouse-fermented beverage. plus for the horse-blanket funk. got to pair a wine with pizza? go Beaujolais. you cannot go wrong unless you put green olives on your pizza, which makes you a loving gross nerd barbera for tomato pasta charles shaw for everything else, you've long graduated from franzia/vella boxed bullshit (one can hope) Ambuletz fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jan 3, 2016 |

My brother is a journalist who does a lot of travel and he always makes sure he brings back a bottle of the worst possible wine from wherever he goes, so right now I have a bottle of Bangladeshi palm wine, a brazillian chardonnay which cost $1 or something, and rice wine from Myanmar. I had wine with a skull on the bottle (chronic cellars) for new year and it was remarkably good.

My waitress friend called white zinfandel "the kiss of death." Apparently the women who ordered it were notoriously bad tippers.

Red wine makes me flushed, overheated, and usually gives me a headache. I mainly have to stick to beer and cocktails, but I will drink a nice glass if I'm going out for steak or an upscale French or Italian place. I'm cursed, basically.

America's Test Kitchen had a segment on NPR today that had a wine forensics expert on who stated that almost 80% of wine worth more than a few hundred dollars a bottle is counterfeit. It's just dudes slapping fake labels on genuine looking bottles. They use exact fill measurements, and secret poo poo on the corks and stuff to track/prove it.

So like, some billionaire who paid $100,000 for one bottle of burgundy? There's a better than 8 in 10 chance that he got duped. And the best part is the forensics experts admit "no one on earth can tell by the taste of the wine". It's all in how the bottle looks and the glue on the label. lol.

The Yellow Tail wines already mentioned make decent everyday wines, the Shiraz is good for the price £5-6 usually. Campo Viejo also make nice easy drinking reds, the Tempranillo and Garnacha are always in stock in my house. £6-7 usually. They also make more expensive reserva bottles, up to £14, which are great. Don't neglect French wine though, I've been drinking Chateauneuf de Pape over Xmas, between £8-20 per bottle. Haven't had a bad one yet! In conclusion, I like red wine.

Georgia makes some good wines but you don't see them often outside of Eastern Europe. Pick up some Mukuzani if you ever happen across it. It's a nice dry red, reportedly Stalin's favorite. And if that's not enough of endorsement for you I don't know what else to say.

How I drink 80% of the wine that I drink: Once a year in the summer I buy a can of frozen concentrated Welches pineapple orange banana juice and mix it into a bottle of gato negro merlot in the plastic pitcher still referred to as the kool aid pitcher and then drink it in about forty minutes while sitting in a folding chair on a lawn This is better and more enjoyable than any bottle of Silver Oak I've had

man this thread collected a lot of dumb words about smashed up grapes that smell like piss and taste like rear end. Somebody should write a book on how it all tastes the same and all the poo poo winos make up about their bad grape juice is just bullshit for drunks to sell product for somebody else
