i am actually,
i usually chil my l red wine for 10 -15 than open it let it breath for 15 and than give mouth to mouth
but reds should typically be at about 60F when drinking
i would watch with the wine on the left, it will likely cause you a hangover if you binge on it
the charles shaw is just your generic grocery store wine so it will be a table red really
The damana 5 should be very good its a pretty good wine actually,
the other ones are pretty typical wines you may like some better than others if you do take note should all be relatively easy to find

Charles Shaw is affectionately called "Two buck Chuck", Trader Joe's made it famous.
haha, like a sola and nero brand of canada than
im a white wine drinker myself, the only reds i really ever drank were from nonnos cellar that he made from scratch
i would often try reds here and there and just could never really get into them except his red.
so now i opt for white
god i want wine so bad and a cigarette

I am somewhat of an expert. For example, I know that Thunderbird Red is a bit betterer than the Blue.
But seriously, I did work in a wine merchants for a while and picked up a few tidbits of knowledge. The most important of which is that beyond about 20 quid a bottle you won't see any improvement in flavour or quality.
One of the nicest reds I ever drank was Chateau Capendu Corbiers. About 6 quid a bottle. Very rich and just a good wine around. Some of the Jacobs Creek reds are good value too.
Dunno fuck all about your stash mind, never met em before.
See? Clearly I has the cultures.

Proper home brew made with knowledge is hard to beat. You're lucky to have had that privilege.
Ah, strong french cigarettes and red wine. So decadent and noir. I approve.
youre right i am lucky to have grown up in an environment where my nonno taught his grandchildren how to garden, and make food from scratch and make wine.
i will be forever grateful for him. i miss him and love him very much

I make wine at home by mixing everclear with sparkling grape juice. My wine gets you trashed. I serve it to guests with slices of kraft american cheese and a block of Velveeta

The love outlasts the physical presence. That's what really matters in the end.

The Charles shaw is from 2000, that is old as shit.. About 5 years ago I drank a wine from 1984 which is a old as me, and it was unbelievable!
You can also tell if the wine is any good from the dimple in the bottom of the bottle right???
The bottle I am drinking right now scored 90% out of a 100.. it's 5 years old and taste great

I just don't care for wine, although I do like its buzz. I LOVE fine whiskys, though, especially single malt scotch and bourbons. It's also quicker to get drunk on these...

Ok I started to read this and for one, I am no wine expert at all. However I can tell the difference between a red and a white.. that's like saying I can't tell the difference between a lager and an IPA..

Yes I love my whiskeys and my whiskys. But wine is definitely more complex and the buzz is great! Wine is like flowers and whiskey is like concentrates..
old doesnt necessarily mean good if the wine is cheaper wine to begin with its more likely vinegar rather than aged and well preserved
hopefully not though
wine is different than beer

I understand, I can not tell the difference between a merlot and a cabernet, but I can tell the difference between a cab and a chardonnay..
