Needs more Kraft singles.
Listen, not all of us can afford grape scissors.
Speaking as someone who's done this before, I'm pretty sure that glass was originally a candle.
If you think about it, all glass once was a candle!
I think if you stick to one glass on a weekday, should be fine.
Good for your heart, even.
Where's the straw?
While you might disagree, very dry beverages have never been enjoyable through a straw to me.
I'm no stranger to booze straws, but red wine would be one of my last choices for one for me.
It's because dry beverages aren't very tasty
That's a pretty bold statement (though TBH I don't really disagree). I'm not a big fan of dry beverages generally speaking, but different strokes for different folks; even for the same folks, tastes evolve (the booze I enjoy now was disgusting to me half a lifetime ago); and also context matters a lot. I have enjoyed dry red wines much more with a well paired dish or even mixed with a less dry drink than I have by themselves.
People who are not you or me can apparently even enjoy them without accommodation.
A straw still sounds like an unappealing addition, though.
My comment was tonge-in-cheek, enjoy whatever you like :)
The feeling is mutual!
It's just a powder if it's dry then, innit
I don't understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.
I think most people develop a positive association with them because of the pleasant effects. That hasn't happened to me yet though, and probably won't. I prefer when my drinks taste good, like actually taste good like a fruity fizzy drink, not like I'm drinking something fermented way past its prime. I still do drink wine or beer in social gatherings to fit in but I don't really enjoy it. I just have them when there isn't anything else.
Now I want a Moscato juice pouch. Are these a thing yet? How do I make this a thing?
Lose the glass. Embrace the de-boxed space bag with a spigot.
Get a long crazy straw and then squeeze the bag under your arm like the patron saint of bagpipes and alcoholism.
Now there's a brand new sentence
Goon of fortune.
Slap the bottle doesn’t hit as hard as slapping the bag!
Are you in a locker room? By yourself? Why? And with this assortment of cheese? Why?
Those cheeses pair nicely with the locker room scent. If you were cultured you would know this.
Wine and cheese party I'd guess
speaking as someone who is currently trying to stop drinking every day: this looks delicios
I do this and if you add a slice of fruit to the edge no one questions it at all
Wine and cheese, classics
Damn right 1 glass! This is the way
Add Ice Cubes?
Big Carl vibes.
Add some maple syrup. But goes better with rosé.
I'm more of a beer gal myself but I could still go for some right about now. I really need to take the edge off.
