because deep down they are all whores, if they drink wine they have a crutch to blame their behavior on.

The same reason men like beer... it's relaxing.

It's a little better on the waistline too.

It's just one of the many benefits of drinking wine. I like beer also, especially all the craft ones these days.

But a couple glasses of wine won't make me get up 2-3 times in the middle of the night (I'm old).

Where I live there are quite a few nice wineries. I love bold reds and have learned alot about making it. So much so a couple of years ago I began making my own. It's not great, but drinkable. And a helluva lot cheaper than buying it.

Yes women like wine. I've poured a few times for my favorite winery at large wine events (I'm a saleman at heart). Let me tell you, women like wine. And that's just fine by me.

I just mentally changed the words to “gay men” and “IPA” and your post read fairly well.

I’m convinced most of them don’t really like the taste of wine, but they view it as a woman thing, a socially acceptable way for a woman to get drunk.

Replace the word women with men and the word wine with beer and the same argument holds true

I never said it was less manly....but a lot of people view it that way. I think it’s wonderful when a guy knows about wine.


Men have been making wine since time immemorial. Warriors drink wine.


Kings drink wine. Ghengis fricking Khan drank wine.

What some 3-toothed bud swilling redneck from Bumblescum Bamasippi thinks is of no concern to a man who has some taste.

Being able to pair wines with food is a simple joy. I love selecting a dusty bottle off my racks and opening it up, decanting it, letting it breathe and then sharing it with company over a lovely meal. Some trailer trash can keep their TV dinners and Mountain Dew. I’ll take the vino.

Although, I do find it hard to watch a guy order a mixed drink. That crosses the line a bit for me.


What do you qualify as a “mixed drink”? A martini? Long Island iced tea? Dark and Stormy? Rob Roy? A Leroy?

There are many interesting concoctions that can be crafted behind a bar, and I’m not going to pass judgement on a man for his choices, from a PBR to a Pina colada.

I’m sorry to be judgmental but when you are out and meet a group of guys and one orders a frozen margarita with a bit of sugar on the rim....my first thought is ...

Well I’ll skip my first though and move to my second thought. “I’m not hanging out with him for the night.....”

"It takes a lot of beer to make good wine." --- Lou Preston, Preston Vineyards

It's also misquoted to add a descriptor in cheap beer by some and great beer by others.

I don’t like liquor really. Not big on sweet drinks or mixed drinks so I drink reds and beer. And I’m a bad ky native bc I really don’t like bourbon

And thank god I know nothing about wine. I already have one stupid expensive hobby. Don't need to add to the list.

Also, I know plenty of male wine drinkers so this isn’t just a woman thing.

And I grew up drinking wine bc my mother drinks wine. Just one of those things.
