Red wine is the best alcohol

>Can buy a good bottle of red wine for under 10$. There's tons of 5$ bottles that are excellent
>Can taste "top of the top" shelf red wines for no more than 50$ a bottle with modern technology and accessibility

>enhances libido
>contains a compound that protects against liver damage
Imagine drinking whiskey or beer instead of red wine? Pathetic.

Napa is only top tier for cabs, Paso Robles has the best zin/merlot/syrah, Santa Barbara has the best Burgundys

napa has a ridiculous market/reputation for fuck-you-money tier cabs.
its quite capable of making a beautiful chardonnay or a sauvignon blanc..

and no, not interested in anyone's 20 yrs old cliches of ABC or kendall butterballs or whatever the fuck thanks.

because of flavor?
or texture/tannins?

Napa is a bit of a meme, but pasa robles is legit. Austin Hope is so fuckin good; it's everything a cali cab sav should be. Yeah it's a jammy acidic oak bomb, but that's what we're paying for.

probably a mix of the very oak forward flavour and the extremely dry mouth feel you get, I do like port though which gives the same mouth feel so probably the flavour is the biggest thing.

1. The subdued sweetness allows other flavors to come out of the shadows
2. Its over-represented and ruins wine as a whole

"no"
you would have been right if you said centaral coast syrah

california should not bother with classic burgundy grapes, they are genetically incapable even if the climate has all the potential in the world. they'll just make it taste like ass. like ketchup on a steak.

Not "excellent" c'mon, just overall acceptable, flavorful and/or palatable if it is paired with food, blended in sangria, or used for cooking.
>>Can taste "top of the top" shelf red wines for no more than 50$ a bottle with modern technology and accessibility
True, but you can get 4 servings from a bottle, so if we're comparing bottle prices, that's similar to whiskey prices is it not?
>>Contains a compound that stays in your blood stream for over 24 hours reducing depression/anxiety and boosting your mood
nope, and the antioxidant effect is found in grapes as well as wine, and the health "benefit" is probably far from the alcohol itself.
>>enhances libido
inhibitions are reduced, which is not quite the same thing

I like red wine of all types, but I could not imagine trading them out for whiskey or beer interchangeably, let alone comparing them. They're different moods.

If you don't like oak flavors, stay away from oak aged. So, yes, do a little research if you don't trust your labels.
