Wine is one of those things that is held up as this high class poo poo by virtue of the fact that some posh fuckos know way too much about it and people are far too self conscious to make a value judgement on something on their own. I'm liberating wine for the people.Theophany posted:I've been spooked as gently caress over the last few days to close all my Cryptocurrency CFD positions because the market is being completely retarded. Then I get the enjoyable lack of self-awareness of going to actual work and pretending that somehow rising markets, rising inflation and stupidly low interest rates are somehow rational. The only thing I buy is index funds for retirement lol. I can't be bothered with the stress of investing and the whole bitcoin thing seems stupidly hosed.

I like a lot of cheap wines but in my experience you really need to spend a decent amount on champagne if you want anything that doesn't taste like poo poo.

The CFDs are just a bit of day trading fun, but it's gotten way out of hand this week.

Martini has a half decent low priced sparkling wine but it's only like 9%. I'm not a big fan of champagne to begin with so it's never really bothered me.

I usually get a Moet and Chandon Rose Imperial. You can get it for about $40 if you shop around. Moet Grand Vintage (depending on the year it can be better than their Dom Perignon) or Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque if I really want to impress someone (usually when I return to my folks' home for New Years, in a "look I can buy you expensive wine so I'm not a total failure at my job" kind of thing)

The only things I know about wine is that the really good stuff is to be found in the vineyard shop at a fraction of the price you will find it at anywhere else, and that there is better wine being made by a random French farmer in a bucket, selling at a euro a bottle, than there is available in any British supermarket.

Also if you buy VP cognac then you are the fuckin’ problem. If people stopped buying it then it would be turned into the vinegar that it deserves to be. VP is the 2 year old stuff they know will turn out to be poo poo after aging. VSOP is 4 years old and acceptable, but XO which has been aged for 6 years is what you want. Because of the way French certification works, a off brand no name VSOP being sold for 50p will be nicer than a exclusive VP being sold at £50

I've read TN whiskey is technically bourbon, but charcoal filter is what makes it TN whiskey. And I take back my bourbon statement. Maker's Mark is quite enjoyable. Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek are poo poo.

Now that it is hard to find these days, I'd say the price is relatively worth it. I really dig the High West whiskeys and bourbons. That said, I'm with you - there are really a ton of good cheap bourbons now compared to a few years ago.

Getting a decent bourbon in the UK is a right bugger, but the flip side is cheap good quality scotch, so I'll survive

This is me and most bourbons, so I'm actually drinking Johnnie Walker right now, lol. So we're opposites. Too much Jack and Jim Beam in college. That said, certain "american straight" whiskies still taste good to me, like Eagle Rare, or Sam Houston.
