Beer or wine?

[overlord]

PErsonally I prefer beer but if you're the type who likes the occasional drink, which is where I am now, and not drinking much, it's wine. :eyepop: :D

[Stardrifter_WA]

wine, bourbon, but not beer :P

[blindman]

Definitely Wine, beer only when it is extremely hot (or stash exhausted :P)

[dugnsuz]

Single Malt!
Unfortunately costs just a little less than printer ink, so it's imbibed infrequently!
Back on topic... Wine mainly, Beer after mowing the lawn!

As ones tastes mature with experience and age, one progresses, in my experience, from wine, to southern comfort , to beer ( guinness ). It's a natural discovery of the truth.

[csb]

Beer outdoors.

Port indoors.

[overlord]

That is interesting. So astronomers prefer the finer stuff?

[ballaratdragons]

Neither.
I gave up alcohol 26 years ago.

Amen, brother

What do you mean wine OR beer ? I do the lot !

Plenty of good boutique breweries over here in Godzone so plenty of excellent beers. Then the red wine, Syrah, Pinot Noir, comes out for dinner with a nice sticky for dessert. Then as the evening winds down choose a good single malt and cut it with a wee drop of water to break the flavour loose. Just bought a bottle of Oban which I have yet to sample but got Talisker, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Highland and few others to choose from.
Use Johnnie Walker Red or Vat 69 as cooking whisky in the Xmas cake and for medicial purposes. (Try hotwater, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, two soluble aspirin chucked in and a good shot for a sore throat, head cold, .... magic ! )

I don't get this 'or' at all. 'And' works much better :thumbsup:

Bourbon (neat or on the rocks), red wine, cider, white wine, rum/port, beer... in decending order of preference.

There are occasional exceptions where a really good example of a type jumps a level or two.;)

Battery Acid! Chilled of course!

Wine, usually a nice dry white. I'm currently into an Italian white phase of my life so am drinking Pinot Grigio or Soave depending what I can find. However this does not mean that I'm not a red fan as I've been known to drink the odd bottle or three of Shiraz.. or Cabernet...or Merlot... but definitely not Pinot Noir!!!

Beer and Scotch and Dry were the drinks of choice at Uni 30 odd years ago but I went off beer for some reason. I don't mind a glass of Grappa now and then and still have the occasional shot of Scotch (neat).

Geez, I sound like I have a drinking problem!! :lol:

Cheers (metaphorically!),

[lacad01]

Depends...cold beer on a hot day, red wine with a nice cut of steak. The older I get though the more partial I am to darker beers and stouts - more body and flavour :drink:

[Karls48]

French Brandy, it is made from wine- I think.

[AdrianF]

Wine occassioally rum on Friday night after dinner and I will have to open the 12 year old glenfiddich I have sitting in the cupboard for the last 3-4 years
have a 6 Pack of Corona in the pantry that was brought over 3 Christmas's ago and never touched

I was reintroduced to wine at QLD Astrofest this year. :) thanks to Bester and the Beckster. wicked influence those two.
I'll only drink beer when it's stinking hot and there is nothing else to imbibe, I prefer a Strongbow instead.

But drinkies in no particular order of preference are....
Drambuie
Wild Turkey Honey Liqueur
Bourbon
Rum
Scotch
Wine
Southern Comfort
Galiano

[deejayvee]

Neither.

When I do drink, it's Jack Daniels for me.

[Lismore Bloke]

Hmmm,

Cascade Light at the end of a hot day, particularly after lawn mowing. Red wine (preferably Shiraz) with the evening meal. Sauvignon blanc during summer. Single malt scotch a couple of times a week. Highland Park 12yr, Cragganmore and Glenfiddich 12yr are all good - but lots more to try when funds permit. Hoping the above list doesn't make me sound like an old sozzle!!

Cheers, Paul.

[bartman]

Dito to that....
Jacks has been my mainstay for many a year.
One of my thoughts for a numberplate was JAXORDIE, but changed that for bartman....of course....
Lately though I have changed from drinking red wine for years to white wine. I was an avid red drinker until about a year ago ....strange.... ( SSB)
Cheers:drink:\:)/

i love a beer on a hot day after mowing the lawns :cheers:

but im an Ouzo girl every other day :lol: :P

[Poita]

I am surrounded by vineyards so it has to be a Mudgee Red for me. My favourite is Rosby wines, www.rosby.com.au , can only get it direct from them, but it is well worth it, far too easy to drink!
They have a nice dark sky out there too!

[blink138]

geez fred thats almost exactly arse about, surely wine is the pinacle of ones taste buds!

[blink138]

cognac is made from a very rough grape variety called "ugni blanc" i think, good to still but bad table wine
i am always subconsciously drinking to the type of weather for me, for instance very rarely can i stomach a 15% cab or shiraz in summer poured at room temp (30C)
on the other hand an SSB in the depths of winter is almost intolerable

[pgc hunter]

I love my bourbons and ciders and Pleasant Valley Sparkling Wine. Tastes sweet as and only like 5 bucks per bottle and is always on special in some shape or form at Liquorland. Some alcohols I wont drink... Campari, that is absolutely disgusting beyond all human comprehension.

[overlord]

A Nice lady like u shouldn't have to mow lawns. :confused2:

:thumbsup:

[Jen]

:eyepop: aww that is so sweet :D u obviously have met the devil side of me yet :lol::lol: i like mowing the lawns :P

[overlord]

A fiesty side too eh? Well I do like to be sweet with attractive ladies. Oh YES. lol.

[Rodstar]

No one has mentioned the wonderful elixer from the south of France, Pastis. Nothing is more refreshing that a Pastis, one part Pastis to 5 parts icy cold water.

I am a shameless Shiraz drinker with red meat. With white meat/fish, I am partial to a NZ Sauvignon.

I am not a big beer drinker, but if very thirsty, I am drawn to darker beers - Tooheys Old is a favourite - lovely and yeasty. Also fond of Beez Neez with BBQ'ed white meat/fish.

Cheers!

[shelltree]

BEER :D

I love my Belgium beers :) Especially white beer and cherry beer, yum!

[Bassnut]

I was taking the piss out of myself actually ;), I have no sophistication AT ALL :D, but I have found the truth, and it's guinness :thumbsup:

[DiamondDust]

Now the warmer weather is upon us, I've put the Cab/Sav back in the cellar (not), and stocked the fridge with sparkling pink Moscato. Delightfully refreshing especially in a long stem crystal champers glass, after golf or can be slurped after mowing (directly from the bottle if necessary!). Port or Cowboys around the campfire with coffee chasers..............heaven, I'm in heaven and I ....blah, blah, blah, hum mmm, ..................... he he:rofl:

[Jules76]

Me, none. :thumbsup:

Never understood the alcohol culture like it's some fantastic thing that everyone must have to the point where they worship it by proudly displaying what they drink. To me alcohol all tastes like crap and I never sucummed to peer pressure and the "you'll get use to the taste" line my mates use to push. I'm sure you could get use to the taste of muddy water but it doesn't I'm going to want to keep drinking it!

Rather save my money and put it towards more rewarding pursuits. :)
