Do you drink more wine or more beer? Justify your answer.

>> No.5261730

I drink wine with most meals, and beer socially. It probably works out just about even it terms of how much of each I consume.

>> No.5261732

Yes. Because I'm an alcoholic.

>> No.5261749

Beer, because wine is too expensive and often times just tastes like vinegar to me. I also can't drink many ciders because they just taste rotten.

I wish I could enjoy wine more, my family always has a glass with dinner, but I'll just stick to my pleb beers.

>> No.5261753

Beer, it tastes good. Wine is horrible.

>> No.5261762

I drink more wine because, generally, it is not carbonated. The carbonation isn't really something I like to eat food with, soda bugs me too. Unless it is boiled crawfish, then you have to eat crawfish with a beer.

>> No.5261767

Beer, because I haven't found much wine that I really like.

Pretty much this for me. I get way too full drinking beer, even 1-2 cans. I cant stand to eat and drink beer, I can't even finish a beer with a meal without being uncomfortably full. I don't like to belch, either.

I didn't like wine a year ago but I bought a few nice bottles, grew to like it, and now I will drink just about any kind.

try a few red wines. pay like $10-$15 per bottle. you really don't need to spend any more than that for decent red wine. ask the person at the liquor store for a couple recommendations

white wine, well, you can try that too but i personally hate it. white wine is too sweet and is probably what you're referring to when you're talking about a vinegarish flavor

chardonnay, riesling, white zinfandel, i dunno, pretty much any i've tried. i do like sparkling white wines but i usually can't drink a glass without getting heartburn

>> No.5261987

>>5261952

Aside from white zinfandel which is not really a white wine at all, the other two grapes you mentioned can be made in a lot of different styles. I was asking more about specific wines. Even riesling can be made in a very dry style, but it's not something you're going to find at a lot of stores, let alone for cheap.

If you're sticking to under $15 you'll have trouble getting a good dry white wine. Nothing wrong with drinking inexpensive wines (I'm drinking a $9 bottle right now) but if you've never tasted a bone dry chenin blanc from the loire, let alone an extra brut champagne, just know that you're missing out.

Fair enough, it just grinds my gears to hear someone dismissing stuff based on limited experience. There's a lot of amazing white wine, it just tends to be a little more expensive than your baseline most affordable drinkable reds.

I drink more beer because it is easy to make, therefore I do so. Thus I have a lot of it around to consume. I hate IPAs though. Belgian beer and stouts, please.

I never buy wine but will drink it if available at a restaurant. I admit it does accompany food better than most beer does. I would drink Cantillon Kriek with every meal though if it weren't do damn expensive.

just like most of basement dwellers here I prefer beer. malt is fucking divine gift to humanity. to fedora'ed gentelmen hopped up on IPAs I say sincerely sod off. I loved those malt dranks when I was living in Bongland. Supermalt it was called. lovely hangover cure.
and this genius creation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass is what I drink istead of soda pops, pops.
when it comes to wine, I drank loads of thunderbird type of vino when I was younger. then my destroyed stomach told me to stop. then few years ago I discovered zinfandel and I was hooked for a few months. it's quite sweet, it's almost wine, it's designed by faggots for faggots but I still like it. I also like semi dry red, with this shit that colors your lips purple that I don't want to google right now.
but yeah, beer is based, unless I guess you live in murikah and get to drink those pale carbonated "light" canned pisslike beverages that I belive you all "bros" drink, based on tv shows I watch. seriously, 0,33 can of PBR over the counter in bar? it's some kind of wallmart philosophy I think.

yes, white zin is more pink, I don't know why it's called that.

I'll be honest with you, I've never actually tried it. it's reputed to be sweet, low quality, and cheap. it's also responsible for the almost total absence of good quality roses from California but that's another discussion.

if you like dry reds you owe it to yourself to try a few normal Zinfandels. I love ridge and storybook for a good dinner, but if you want to keep the budget down, ravenswood makes some alright zins.

although i will say that if given a bottle similar to one of those carlo rossi jugs, it's not that hard to drink straight from if i'm not moving around. just hook your thumb through the loop and rest the jug on your forearm.

also if cooking something with wine, it's pretty convenient to just take a swig whenever pouring into your food. though i wouldn't do that when cooking for others, people are germophobes like that.
