Sadly, I'm down to 2.5 less-than-desirable beers in the house. Haven't picked up real beer and don't like to waste what I have.

I have a bottle of Montalcino Pinot Grigio that we are bringing to a friend's house tomorrow night. They are not wine drinkers; hence more for us.

I'm probably the opposite of The Box standard: I look at beer as the last option and always go hard liquor first. Wine is a rarity for me, since I pretty much don't drink red.

I default to beer or martinis but have a sizable stock of scotch, port, wine, etc.

colpuck Feb 20, 2009 7:52 pm

beer, especially Belgium trappist ale, is proof that god (whoever (s)he is) loves men.

Is there a specific reason you don't like red wine ?

Did you know you liquids are subject to x-ray inspection seperate from your carry on.

I've actually managed to get away with leaving my baggie in my bag for the majority of my trips in the last 12 months.

I had a Clarins amenity gift kit from the AF CDG 2E Lounge in the side of my laptop case for at least 20 flights before I saw it while cleaning out paperwork.

I don't think I have ever taken my baggie out of my bag.

I always go for wine (mostly reds) before beer and hard liquor. I think I own way too many bottles for someone my age. :)

I don't have an allergy or something like that prevents me from drinking red. It's more of a taste thing than anything else when it comes to any kind of alcohol for me. I lean toward vodka and white wine because it's smooth, and when I want a real strong taste, I'll go tequila...as a flipside to that, I did try a caipirinha, and I thought it was too mellow and didn't have enough flavor. Put it this way: I had a client give me a bottle of Woodford Reserve, and I think it tastes like really bad cough syrup, but there's a shooter I like that is half Crown Royal. Same thing with red wine: what I have tasted hasn't made me want to expand my interest.
