Beer or wine?

[overlord (Charles)]

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.

[Stardrifter_WA]

wine, bourbon, but not beer

[blindman]

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

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

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 (Craig)]

Beer outdoors.

Port indoors.

[overlord (Charles)]

That is interesting. So astronomers prefer the finer stuff?

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

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

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.

Al.

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!!

Cheers (metaphorically!),

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

[Karls48 (Karl)]

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

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

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 (David)]

Neither.

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

[Lismore Bloke (Paul)]

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.

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)
