wine is dogshit designed for women and queers

For a $10 bottle of wine, this stuff is pretty damn good. I try to buy something new every time I go shopping for wine, but I'm considering just buying another bottle of this.

>>14579294
Pretty sure liking dicks is the only thing that makes you a queer.

>>14579316
Spoken like a closeted queer trying to cope.

Let's get back on track. Has anybody tried this and is it any good?

Only natural wine me and my boys only drink that natty

I only drink REAL wines like decoy and the prisoner

Acquired on Friday

>>14579273
I like sweet reds.

>>14579273
>Chianti
>Rioja
>Malbec
>Riesling
>Tawny Port

These are my go to varieties. Don't have a particular favorite brand for any of them. I also think California wine is incredibly overrated and avoid it whenever possible.

>>14579273
Spanish Rioja > you

I really don't give a shit about wine, I just use it for cooking. If with a girl and she likes it then fine, I find it pretentious bullshit, like coffee. The fucks are against smoking weed but are addicted to their coffee in the morning like faggots.

you sound like one of those reddit atheists who thinks everyone is your overbearing fundie dad

>>14580841
Never been on reddit, you're clearly the faggot that has been, a faggot from reddit that knows what it means to be there.

>>14580826
How is wine pretentious you ignorant faggot? Its one of the oldest and most popular alcoholic drinks around. Maybe your just a tastelet whos scared he might really like suckin the shit off his bfs dick

>>14580841
How do you know so much about reddit, you fucking faggot?

>>14580846
I never said that wine was pretentious , I said that some people, mostly morons are pretentious. They're the look at me look at me types.

>>14580856
Look at you now. Acting like a prententious little bitch in a r*ddit thread about wine. Look at you

I am unfamiliar with wine but will post what I have found I liked so far.

You honestly think this or any of /ck/'s wine threads aren't garbage full of basement dwelling tendie eating soda chugging turbo autists sperging out about how nice things are a scam? It is just like any thread about nice things on this godforsaken piece of shit excuse of a board.

Haven't tried his single vineyard wines but his entry level ones suck.

>>14579614
Cool, don't think I've ever had wine from Istria before.

I just buy any cab sauv or pinot noir that is cheap but still has a vintage year. Works for me.

>>14579668
There are good value wines that can be sought out in California, but you're right for the most part.

If you ever get the chance try Bulgarian wine. It’s some of the thickest, heaviest, leatheriest, meatiest wine I’ve ever drunk. Makes Bordeaux look like Beaujolais.

I want to buy a small wooden rack. Not exactly like this one, but similar. Is it worth it?

>>14584012
If you think it's a good way of storing your wine for present consumption, sure.

If you want to cellar wine, get a wine fridge.

>>14583361
Doesn't sound like something I'd drink often, but I'd give it a go if I find some.

>>14579273
Unironically yellowtail. Cheap, no offensive flavors for cooking, and does the job to get drunk if you drink it like a vodka

Why even cheap italian primitivo are still good? Great with 'za too.

>>14583361
I disagree, I find it pretty similar to chilean wine, but with a bit more red licorice. Very good value though. Would also recommend trying spanish Mencia if you ever get the chance, dirt cheap and very tasty.

>>14584012
sure, you can get pretty good DIY assembly ones for under 20 dollars. But it is a slippery slope to collector autism, or at least it was for me.

>>14585385
Chile had great vintages recently, 17 and mainly 18 where great.

>>14585509
So did Argentina, unfortunately that means a shitton of them marked their prices up, and the high-scorers nearly doubled theirs

>>14579365
no but I had a bottle of masi costasera recently and I think its probably my favourite red now

>>14584254
>>14583361
same here. Ill try look for some - you've gotten me intrigued

>>14583689
based indeed

Tignanello Toscana is my favorite. Ghost pines cab is my favorite cheap bottle.

>>14585350
>€7,30 on average
>in Italy
that's not a cheap primitivo
I mean I suppose it's relatively cheap depending on how you look at it, but a cheap wine here costs €3/bottle or less

>favorites
Corte alle Mura Chianti Riserva, gotta try some Classico Riserva that I've seen in stores around here

>latest bottles
Grifo Nero di Troia, pretty good, full bodied, not very acidic considering what it is, red berries, sweet-ish black berries, a bit woody, soft and not too dry
Guerrieri-Rizzardi Chiaretto Classico, good enough for the price but I swear to god, the day I find a chiaretto that doesn't taste like it's watered down I'll buy 10 cases of it
Domaine Saint Roch Chardonnay - Voignier, the best quality/price ratio I've found in a wine to date

I'm not drinking much lately because I'm on a diet and alcohol is full of calories, I've been nursing on a bottle of Paul Mas Syrah but it's too acidic to eat with mostly anything that's not red meat, and I have a couple sweet reds in the basements waiting to be opened when I can get some damn figs to eat with them

>>14584012
I own one because it makes me feel richer than I am to have unopened wine bottles on display in my house. That's literally the only reason. It makes me feel fancy. I will never drink them. It just makes me feel good.

i need a wine that tastes sweet and will allow me to wake up the next morning without a hangover (I've tried 1/2 glass some red wine before, and i was still hungover 10 hours later).

>>14587089
if half a glass of wine gave you a "hangover" it wasn't a hangover it was something else

>>14587089
auslese riesling

>>14585787
Based and Parkerpilled.

>>14579273
Best wine I've ever had is a Levantine Hill Melissa's Paddock Syrah Yarra Valley 2015. But I am not willing to drop $200 on a bottle.
I'm holding onto a 2016 Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz because I tried the 2012 back in 2019 and was unwilling to drop $55 on a bottle. So I spent $30 and intend to wait another 3 years for it to reach the same age.

>>14580826
Coffee is safer. If you're intolerant and drink too much you get a panic attack. With weed you get schizophrenia.

>>14581011
Oddly tame reaction from the bait man.

>>14584315
Even in the $5 AUD price range there are better options.

Recent purchase

>>14588339
Used to be like you, your price ceiling will steadily increase as your palate develops and you start making more money

>>14588482
Well I don't just drink wine.
The value seems so much better for craft beer or even scotch.
Spending $200 on a bottle of wine is like spending $600 on a 40% whisky which is well out of the expensive drinks category and into collectors territory. Absurd, I'd never.
$50 I could I could see myself doing. But only if I'm sharing it with a wine only drinker.

>>14588339
I don't recall what he said about the wine itself, but my coworker visited Levantine and he said that the staff at the tasting room were more concerned about talking about how they fly high rollers from Crown Casino to the winery in a helicopter rather than the wine.

The restaurant at the winery is supposed to be good though.

>>14588482
is that Domaine de Chevalier the white or is it just a drained bottle? I've been eyeing the red at work for ages.

Also nice Sandrone Barolo. I have a 2011 Nebbiolo d'Alba that I've been waiting to drink.

>>14579294
>haha look mom i posted it again (while sipping the 5 sips of warm koors light he stole from his father when he passed out after beating him)

I'm not much of a wine drinker anymore but I'm going to crack this one open in a few days.

It's on the sweeter side and jammy, which I wouldn't normally drink on its own, but when paired with the savory bean tacos I make, it's the perfect combination. Also pretty cheap.

>>14588816
crimge

>>14588911
Hey you shut the FUCK up, motherfucker. I'm sharing my fucking piece and you're going to sit down and FUCKING read every FUCKING word of it

Is there a website where I can order these unique wines? I want to try something with high tannins but I can't find it. I can only go to Tesco for mass bottled "Californian" wines grown in Chile and the wine section always has a queue for the checkout running through it that triggers my autism and stops me from reading the labels

Thank you frens

>>14589136
Supermarket wine will most likely not have much tannin. Supermarket wines are chosen to be easy drinking and inoffensive and tannin can be challenging to many palates.

You're better off going to a dedicated wine store and asking a clerk for help.

As a generalisation, Italian wine (not just Italian varietals, but wine made in Italy) is made to be eaten with food, so a lot of their reds are quite generous with tannin. Nebbiolo and Chianti are generally good bets, but seriously, consult the store clerk.

This is not very good. I found it overpriced and overrated.

Drink wines from Etna, Sicily.

>>14588482
Are you millionaire? If not, you are stupid for buying this stuff.

>>14588378
I've just yet to see anything that cheap that as inoffensive as yellowtail. I think the bottle I got yesterday was like 5.50 burger bucks

Agreed. It's dry as fuck.

>>14585385
Chilean wine is severely underrated and I hope it stays that way.

Surprisingly good for how cheap it is, sainsbury's sauvignon blanc is a close competitor.

And yes, I am poor

You will enjoy the Purple Angel. Sadly it's way more expensive than it used to be in the UK - I used to pay £20, and it's now more than double that, assuming you can get it to begin with.

How do I learn more about wine? I'm a total pleb when it comes to taste and rarely can identify the notes that are listed on the bottle. Just a matter of drinking enough that I can slowly get an understanding of it?

>>14591372
wine folly is the most beginner-friendly way to learn about wine, check out their website
Ultimately the best way to learn wine outside of geography is to drink it.

>>14588780
It's the white, probably my favorite higher-end white bordeaux since it's closer to 100 than 1000 dollars, unlike the haut brions

>>14589944
That's silly anon

>>14591323
It's 60 in the states, grabbed the last 2015 on the shelf. It's very good and really doesn't need much more age, I come back to it every few months.

>>14588773
I tried it at a paid tasting at Dan Murphys along with over 100 other shirazs. The Levantine rep was very nice. But for the most part you should ignore what anyone says until after you've had a drink.
In an ideal world I wouldn't even know the name of a wine until after I had decided it was good. I want to avoid situations where I accidentally buy a bad bottle because I sort of remember it and its on sale.

>>14591372
>I'm a total pleb when it comes to taste and rarely can identify the notes that are listed on the bottle
Some bottles lie

>>14590034
I recommend Jamiesons Run Billy's Shadow Cabernet Sauvignon. It's my uncle's daily drinker. Assuming you can get your hands on it.
I find yellow tail to be quite offensive. You're better off with any of the other big Australian brands like Jacobs Creek and Wolf Blass Red label. Or better yet, fuck the brands, buy wine from someone that grows grapes. Yellow tail won't be better than the average random australian shiraz in that price range.

>>14591688
IMO you shouldn't bother learning about geography in this way at all. There's so much variation in flavor within a wine region in the same year that knowing the region becomes meaningless. I have never, upon discovering a wine that I can't obtain, been able to buy a comparable substitute of that varietal from that region and year.
There's something to be gained from learning the varieties (but even that has tonnes of exceptions), and there's something to be gained from learning the layout of your wine shop if you are systematic about your purchases.
Beyond variety and age (with ~5 year accuracy) you're not really going to gain much insight into the flavor of the wine from what's written on the bottle.
Just taste everything.

Not surprising.

Speaking of Sicilian wine, I bought this yesterday.

60% Inzolia and 40% Catarratto. I've heard that their red is really good so I picked up the white too.

What's the best mead? Picked up a bottle of Chaucer's and it was pretty good. I want to try Viking Blød but I read it's been discontinued

>>14589563
>most produced champagne in the world is mediocre
yep
it genuinely baffles me that there are people who insist upon only buying La Crema/Veuve/Decoy, like I can't even begin to understand. I get bored having to drink one bottle over the course of multiple days.

>>14594068
Try Schramm's. Also, Viking Blød is still on shelves, at least where I am.

Transplant from /mu/ here. I didn't know you guys had a wine thread over here, happened to stumble upon it on the front page. Very happy to know it exists. I like Gruner Veltliners

Can anyone recommend something to transition from monster to wine desu?

>>14594212
buckfast

>>14594212
Riesling for a white, Zinfandel or beaujolais nouveau for reds.

>>14594162
Any specific producers you like?

If you like Austrian Gruner, you should try Austrian Riesling as well.

I normally drink red wine but really enjoyed pic related even though it's sweet af

>>14594792
Oh cool, it's Henri IV.

Jurancon probably offers better value than Sauternes or Barsac, nice.

>>14594162

>>14579294
pleb take
wine is amazing

>>14594663
I really like Gobelsburg, unfortunately it can be hard to find Gruners even in some of the better stocked wine stores where I am. Gobelsburg makes a really nice Riesling too, I generally don't really like sweet wines but Rieslings, dry and sweet, have really been growing on me.
I love Bordeauxs too, right now Chateau Des Antonins has been my go to. I picked it up on a whim one time because the label looked nice and it was a 12 dollar superieur and I keep coming back to it.
I've been drinking the hell out of Mary Taylor's Valençay. It's a nice even blend of pinot noir, malbec, and gamay and it really highlights every aspect of each grape well, just enough backbone from the malbec but it has some really nice fruit forward notes from the gamay and pinot.

>>14594826
/mu/ is trash and I really don't want to

Just got 16 bottles of the 2010 Spanna Bernardo, and another 8 of the regular 2015 Spanna. Both great Piedmont years. Total was just under $650 for the lot. I love this stuff.

Also got a couple other Piedmont items but they're still in transit.

Bota box of merlot, you fags couldn’t tell it from your fancy shit it a taste test. It’s a fact.

Found this the other day
