Randomguy Posted July 17, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2015 Most of the stuff tastes completely like ass, very different year-to-year, pompous and affected people love to tell you how much they know about it, and you have to use a wine glass. Plus, they have completely hoodwinked the populace into spending huge amounts for it. Contrast that with beer, which is not fussy, tastes great, isn't the beverage of choice of blowhards, and doesn't cost a fortune like that ass-juice, wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted July 17, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2015 We have to be on guard against the truly snobby branching out into beer. It seems like to many there is Bud and then IPA, so it is IPA this, and IPA that. Wine is way too 'spensive, that is for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 17, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2015 This thread is not about wine or beer. I don't drink either. I never acquired a taste for wine and I gave up drinking beer a couple decades ago. SO, back to the original OP. The basis of this thread, not being about alcohol is………. what is the biggest con in history? THAT is what real people want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted July 17, 2015 Share #19 Posted July 17, 2015 I couldn't afford to be a wine snob. We generally spend about $6 for a 750mL bottle (or $11 for a 1.75L). Usually whatever's on sale. I enjoy a glass of wine with a big meal but if I'm just having a drink it's usually beer or a mixed drink. My wife likes a glass of wine in the evenings.I suppose I am a bit of a beer snob though. I am disappointed if I go to a party and there's nothing "good" in the cooler. (Around here though, Yuengling is usually "good enough"). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good no-airs and refreshing liquid sometimes, and you can buy a whole keg for about a buck-fifty. Shiner is good in the same way, refreshing, hot-day kind of liquid, as is Narragansett.

I've had two different front loaders and had great luck with both. My first was a Maytag and it lasted me about 6-7 years before I moved to an apartment that had it's own washer/dryer and I had no room for it (gave it to my brother). Then when I got my own bigger place again, I bought a refurb Kenmore set and have had those now about 10 years. Actually, I've had 3 pair because there was a washer/dryer in the new house we bought and we tried them first to see if we liked 'em better. They were a Maytag set. We didn't like them as much as just replaced with our old Kenmore set (that' s been in the garage since we moved in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretentious bastards!"The wine had intense aromas of gunflint and black rifle powder mixed with a briny note like roasted oysters. Then there were notes of graham cracker, burnt lemon oil, and flamed oranges. Massive flavors of caramelized bananas, burnt citrus, and kerosene provided an extremely long, salty finish. Maybe it was the power of suggestion, but I could taste the sea, the explosion, and the Champagne all at once—it was absolutely mind-blowing." That really made me want a beer, btw.

Now I know this this will be difficult to believe but in countries other than the US (there are some by the way), wine is an everyday thing and is drunk with every meal. Some wine is poor, some better and some absolutely wonderful. Personally I find it a joy and feel that I have a duty to inform and educate those unfortunate souls such as yourself about its benefits......this can be unrewarding but someone has to do it.Beer can be good too......but not American Budweiser which is inferior to the original European one. Belgium beer is amazing with one to suit every food and occasion. Microbreweries are a gift from heaven and they put the mass-produced stuff to shame.
