Alright let's stay on topic. What good wines have you bros had lately? I've been getting more into Spanish wines lately but I'm just getting stuff at random. So usually I pick up one Italian that I know I'll like and one mystery wine to try out.

Honestly part of me wishes I liked wine. I primarily drink beer. I do love me a sangria every once in a while.

Then another part of me is reminded of the insufferable crowd that considers themselves wine drinkers like the gal in OP's story and I don't feel so bad.

Whole Foods is good for perishables. It's a shit place to buy wine because the selection is bad and everything is overpriced

Also, getting jealous of people talking about their vacations is pathetic. Find out what you're spending on that you care about less than travel, eliminate that, and you too can go on trips abroad

You shouldn't base whether you like something or not on the crowd that likes it.

Take me for instance. I buy and drink wine because I like it. My ancestors made it. Drinking it makes me feel connected to all the people that came before me. I don't give a fuck if some people use it as a vehicle for their disgusting pretentiousness. I drink it for the taste and because I like it. And you know once upon a time wine was a common man drink. Anyway. I'm just pissed off that a drink I like was commandeered by shitheads. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.

>pls spoon feed me
Nice things are a scam
Napa is the end-all-be-all of wine, I know this because I read a wikipedia about judgment of paris. No other wine regions exist other than bordeaux and napa valley and if you disagree with me you are from france
Truthful labeling is anti-consumer, it is my god-given right to be lied to on the label and anyone who disagrees with me is a yuropoor who hates my freedom
The only options are $3 wine and $3000 wine, everyone else drinks the $3000 wine but I know better and I buy the $3 wine, that's how Warren Buffett got rich
A wine is solely a product of its DNA and nothing more, terroir is a librul hoax, anyone who tells you that south african chenin tastes different from loire chenin is obviously hallucinating
Beer is better than wine because I've had a lot of kinds of beer and not much wine, if you have ever enjoyed wine you are obviously not from America and must be trolling or insane
