Random Talk Thread Mk. II

I know I sound like a philistine, but I’ve just never got on with the taste. On the occasions I’ve been given a glass of really, really good wine, I’ve found it pretty wonderful… but cheap Northern universities don’t give you access to that kind of thing And when I’m in the shops I have no idea what to go for, so I usually go with Peroni or Stella.

Giuvito is a local expert. I’m sure he could point you in the right direction.

Stella.

Stella?

#STELLA!!!

There are much better beers to be had in the north than that. Stella is… well, it’s not quite Coors Light, but it’s pretty close. Hmm. Is there a “Beer Snobs” thread?

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Hey, it’s not Carlsberg!

[AMG_75 (I punch him!)]

Coors Light

That stuff is like malt soda, kind of refreshing to be honest.

I’m not a beer snob… I much prefer a cool lager to the posh or obscure ales that England, particularly the South West where I grew up, is flooded with.

[AMG_75 (I punch him!)]

Heineken is my beer of choice.

Ever had a Radler? Grapefruit beer, which sounds terrible but is actually really pleasant and VERY refreshing.

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Same!! Got me some dark looks whenever I ordered it in Dublin. “Three Guinness … and a Heineken”

Which apparently I did quite a lot since I literally just opened a book and this fell out

I’ll look into it.

[VaultHunter101 (So long, and thanks for all the fish)]

Is that in Euros? Seems a bit pricey for half of Heineken.

Actually a true Radler is a mix of beer and lemonade (often Sprite or Fanta). Love that stuff. Though I´m not a big beer-fan, theres no way to escape it in Germany.

I can highly recommend “Porter” and “Tuborg”, second is a danish beer I think. Faxe is awesome too. My very fav is Kilkenny though.

Btw, here´s a beer-thread

You have fine taste in beer Diva.

[Giuvito (Maining Ms. Phaseswole)]

Honestly.

Wine is 100% about your market and your knowledge. I drink my own stock to a silly degree, with the ever present excuse of learning my own stock.

Some companies comp a bottle for tastings and personal use.

During my average wine tasting, we go through at least 3 bottles. So I usually save them for me to drink. Nearly 80% are out of my own inventory.

@xmngr you don’t like wine, right?

@Giuvito Please don’t ban x.

Also, can you recommend me some good reasonably priced white wines.

[xmngr (Amara is a saner Krieg)]

no xD
even tho i live in a place where wine can be found in massive rows on supermarkets xD

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Oh yeah, Chilean wines are everywhere. No idea if they’re any good. Spanish wines have a bad reputation here.
