Today is National Wine Day

@ttyymmnn It's really, really sweet, like grape juice mixed with grape soda, as a dessert wine, I suppose it has its place.

MD 20/20Then you move up to the fancy stuff, like Alize and Boone's Farm.
I fully admit that our home's "EDC wine" is a box of Wine Cube (Target) or Bota Box. Usually pinot grigio or chardonnay, under $20 for 3L almost everywhere. To lighten it up, I like to use a hefty splash of a good, spicy traditional ginger ale. It's amazing and comes out like a cross between a wine spritzer and a Moscow Mule. I would never do that to an expensive wine, it just feels wrong.
I actually like red wine better, but I don't like my teeth and poop to be that color

We are definitely not wine snobs.
I had a friend who was a real wine, food, cigar connoisseur. I asked him once what is a good bottle of wine. He said, "A good bottle of wine is one you like."
-
@ttyymmnn that is very true advice, my favorite stuff that I've ever had is from a moderately priced touristy vineyard in Virginia, but damn is it good. Also, Riuniti Lambrusco is a simple pleasure, it tastes like alcoholic grape juice, sometimes that's all you want
-
@ranwhenparked I think that place is on the tables of people who don't realize that you can get actual good wines that are kosher for Passover...
-
@ttyymmnn The only requirement with those 12oz boxes is that you have to drink them straight from the box
-
@ranwhenparked so is it just sparkling grape juice?
Edit: looks like they say it's actually wine. Sounds to me like you're better off with normal wine or sparkling grape juice.
-
@3point8isgreat oh yeah, it's wine, just very surgery, syrupy wine. It's similar to what a lot of churches use for communion wine, since people who aren't used to drinking alcohol are less likely to have a gag reaction and spit it out, while those who are can at least tolerate it even if they don't like it
-
@ranwhenparked Hahah I always just take the actual grape juice at church.
-
@ttyymmnn National Water Day?
-
Cheeky wink that one.
-
@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly Yeah I'm still making my way thru that rolodex

@ttyymmnn Wine is my regular but today it’s Bloody Mary day.
