Drink some Rosie. You'll still be depressed, but you won't care.

>>16696835
That's a better state of mind than being happy imo

I introduced a friend of mine to this stuff on a lark after seeing it in a gas station and the absolute madman likes it, I don't know what his problem is.
He hates port too.

Depends on what you like.
In terms of pinot noir I've liked some examples from Jura I've had plus some chateaus in the usual Burgundian villages like Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay.

Even then I find most good quality Beaujolais cru from Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent are better value for comparable red Burgundy these days.

Male wine drinker here. It’s funny buying a good Bordeaux. I usually get asked who I’m buying it for, Wife? Mother? Sister? Surely it can’t be for yourself. Then when I tell it’s for me, I get a shocked look. They recover and decide to ‘play along’ with me. Then they start telling me lots of things I know I about wine.
It’s at this point, if I can be bothered, I go through their shelves and tell them all the ones I’ve tasted and why I like them or not. Which regions I prefer, big up Marlborough, and why I’m not a fan of Californian and 100% prefer Spanish.
Now is when I think they feel bad. Because they always offer me loads of samples. I can usually free taste like 4/5 different ones min on every visit.
Having said that met a really nice man last time through the airport who was giving out Schlumberger samples. We had a great chat. He was awesome.
Now girls at bars when you order a large white find you immediately intriguing. They watch you take a sip. I think they are waiting to see if you make a face. When you look pleased then they have their in to strike up a conversation.
I don’t know a lot of other male wine drinkers but I wish I did. I can only go on so many tasting sessions with girls.

I like.this wine

I prefer Campari. Campari and soda is a great summer drink and the one and only time I cheated on my wife was facilitated by my ordering of a Campari and soda at a hotel bar. I was at a conference in another state and after drinking quite a bit of wine at dinner I went to a bar with a few colleagues. I was feeling good and stopped by McDonald's for a McDouble and carefully ate it on my walk back to the hotel, making sure I didn't get it on my suit.

It was the second last day of the conference and I had given an excellent talk and decided what the fuck, might as well keep a good thing going and maybe attend the talks a bit later tomorrow. I went to the hotel bar and ordered a Campari and Soda. It was the perfect addition to my booze and grease saturated stomach. I was chatting with some strangers and by the third C&S a very attractive woman in her late 30s (older than me) sitting a few stools over came over and asked what it tasted like. I flirted with her and gave her a taste and two hours later I was having a taste.

It was amazing and when COVID is over and conferences resume normally I'm going to start plowing pussy via the C&S opening move.

Read the fuckin labels
Look at the importer and region the wine comes from
Eventually you will find an importer you trust and a region whose style you like

I have had more of this by volume than any liquid other than water in my life so I guess it must be good

All wine tastes like trash, it's alcohol for women. Drink liquor.

Winefags, a lot of recipes use wine. And yet wine apparently goes bad in a matter of days. Am I seriously expected to buy a new bottle every time I want to deglaze my fucking skillet? What's the trick here?

>>16696770
I like the cheap Taylors port and tawny. I don't like wine in general but it being 18 percent helps. Tell me why I suck /ck/

>>16701666
Vacuum cork
or, more commonly...
Once you use the wine to deglaze, you drink that wine that evening with dinner or later after secks so you can play some vidya while she's asleep.

these people, no matter their age, will cause a scene, will scream on Yelp and complain to every manager, owner, and the CEO, just to get their way no matter what pain, harm, or disruption they cause. so FUCK Malbecs and anyone who enjoys it. you're just as insufferable as people who enjoy Chardonnays.

If you're gonna buy cheap sauvignon at least buy Touraine.

>>16701759
At least you don't get customers who fake a racism complaint. I can take retarded people normally but not actual retards who make a legal problem for me.

>>16702248

ABC (Anything But California)

Oregon usually isn't too bad. Usually. Otherwise Europe is your safest bet if you don't want to get ripped off by marketing budgets and design by committee

>>16701759
Malbec is very good for the money, you live in a shitty ass country with stupid people.

Coincidentally, the ABC countries are also South America's more prevalent wine producers.

/facepalm

>>16701666
You can still cook no problem with old wine. Keep it in the fridge. Just won't be great for drinking. You don't have to buy 75cl bottles.

Proper qual wine

Post dry reds you enjoy drinking straight up without food pairing.
Hard mode: No weak tannins.

What is your take on boxed wines and plastic bottle wines?
I feel the boxed ones are mostly inferior to bottles when I've had the opportunity to try next to each other. However, plastic bottles don't seem affected but there aren't that many to try for me yet.

>>16706759
>No weak trannies
ill post my strongest ones then

>>16706767
You like adding R's around because you're a retard ye?

>>16706767
WHO

>>16706759
all piedmont shit. from barbera to nebiolo and anything between. Sicilian Terre nerre is hit with every bottle Aglianico and nero d avola are drinkable like water.
and merlot of course. frogbros are good at making extremely drinkable wines. Especialy fan of rhon since it is cheaper than bordeaux, not too fruity and great over all
btw fuck fuitfaggs. Primitivo niggers need to gtfo

>>16706798
Nice, thanks.

>>16706759
>no weak tannins
Sagrantino di Montefalco gives tannins for days and ages extremely well for the price.

>He hates port too.
Sounds like he's just a pleb.

>>16706972
are you a granny or something?

>>16706759
$20+ argie malbec.

>>16706914
Sagrantino isn't that expensive if you can get it from a budget producer, maybe $20. If not Rosso di Montefalco is cheaper and almost as good and still quite tannic. Taurasi is also a good backup option as is Aglianico del Vulture.

>>16707175
aglianico is great as is nero d avola. carignano opinion?

>>16707207
Carignan/Grenache isn't going to give as much tannin I find. Most examples I've had are quite peppery to where I'd rather spend the same money on a nice Garnacha from Montsant or Tarragona.
Maybe Gaglioppo could be a good budget option although I don't know how tannic that grape gets.

i'm considering ordering this. however, i will have to buy 6 bottles of them.

>>16696770
