slo’s FRIDAY 5/30 poll - Wine Time🍷

[Wood Nymph]

I don't like the taste of wine. But I will have other alcoholic drinks occasionally - but not very often.

 

[evilmommie]

I LOVE wine. In fact, just signed for some GoGi Chardonnay the other day. Kurt Russell’s winery…for all of you Disneyphiles. He actually makes an impressive Pinot Noir (that is his baby!) and the Goldie Chardonnay is delicious as well.

We probably have 300-400 bottles of wine. Small cellar. We aren’t experts but love to collect what we like!

 

[E&Cmom]

I will have the occasional glass . I have a intolerance ( facial flushing, stuffy nose upset stomach following) so I have been trying to avoid it more. When I go out I get a cocktail more than wine these day.

 

[Jasper&Bowie]

I prefer Moscato but will drink most white or blush wines. Holidays and when my soccer team is playing away is when I drink most often but have some at other times too. I will also drink Mai Tai, Bahama Mama, or Alabama Slammer if I'm sitting around the firepit.

 

[TippyThomas]

I'm in the zero alcohol category, so no wine for me.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I like wine and sparkling wine. I belong to a wine club and placed my quarterly order this morning. I usually only drink socially but as part of a recent remodel we added a bar with a wine fridge so maybe I’ll enjoy a glass at home this weekend!

 

[lovesmurfs]

Sometimes at a work dinner I'll have a glass of wine, but it's very seldom. My drink of choice is bourbon, neat.

 

[firefly_ris]

I like prosecco and moscato and that's about all.

I only drink alcohol very occasionally and so wine is included in that. My husband likes deep and dry red wines and has a glass several nights per week.

I'll certainly go around to wineries in groups and things like that but I'm typically the DD.

 

[John VN]

Don't drink wine. Don't like the taste.

Don't really drink any alcoholic beverages. Again, don't really like the taste. So many people say "you can't taste the alcohol", well there is definitely something I taste that makes me not care for it. lol

no wine......no alcohol drinks at all

I'm in the zero alcohol category, so no wine for me.

There has been a INCREASE in non-alcoholic wine production AND no-sugar wine production. Many are scoring high in competitions.

ALSO - Organic no nitrate/nitrite added wines ARE IMO pleasantly different in taste.

e.g. - Noughty, Leitz, Giesen, Oddbird are some

 

[clappyclaps]

I'm a wine drinker but only tend to drink it when I go out for birthdays, meals etc. I've got loads of bottles at home but will only very rarely have a glass if its been a very bad (or very good) day! Will drink red, white or sparkling. Not a fan of rosé unless its rosé prosecco. In recent years I've tended to drink more white and sparkling as red feels too heavy and makes me feel horrendous the next day, even if I haven't had much. Although I usually can't say no to a nice glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

 

[fla4fun]

I don’t drink alcohol at all. I don’t like the taste. I don’t even like food prepared with alcohol. It always tastes off to me. I have occasionally tried throughout the years to see if my tastes have changed, but they haven’t. Beer still tastes like vomit, wine still tastes like rotten food, and spirits still leave a horrific metallic aftertaste for hours. I have made my peace with being the designated driver.

 

[CynBeth]

I am a female who does not drink any alcohol. My DH does not either.

 

[tvguy]

Male wine drinker. Before I retired our tradition was a glass of wine on Friday and Saturday night. I wondered if that would change in retirement, and it has, in a way that surprises us. We just plain forget to have our wine so our wine consumption has gone way down from two glasses a week. A couple of my Doctors have classified me as essentially a non-drinker even counting two glasses of wine a week. And in recent months cruise lines have changed their unlimited drink packages to a limit of 15. I can't even imagine drinking 15 alcoholic beverages a day.

 

[monsterkitty]

I checked other.

I hate wine so I never drink it. Same with beer.

The reason I checked other: Alcohol hurts my stomach, so I don't drink except once a year. I will drink one mixed drink on vacation and just suffer the consequences for that night. That drink will depend on where we are vacationing - Hawaii will be a Mai Tai, Caribbean a Pain Killer, etc.

When we went to Oktoberfest in Munich last fall, I did have a few sips of DH's beer. While I didn't love it, the beer was so much better than here in the US. Still wouldn't drink a whole beer, but I would have a few sips now and again.

Hello fellow DD!

Maybe we could try that. I made the mistake of buying no alcohol bourbon and wound up throwing most away - it was like a weird iced tea.

 

[disney212]

I LOVE wine. I love cocktails and bourbon. I don't drink everyday. I try to eat a low net carb diet but I do enjoy wine on occasion. I have a genetic predisposition to a very high tolerance for alcohol. Had genetic testing due to waking up during surgical procedures so they tested me and told me that I had tolerance to pharmaceuticals and alcohol. I had never heard of that before. I will say now that they know that they give me something to keep me out. Very happy about that, lol.

 

[RedAngie]

Wine, yummy.

 

[mikehn]

Over the last year or two I've really gotten into the higher end California cabs and petite sirahs

 

[Buzz Rules]

I like to cook with wine and beer rather than drink it.
