Wine (no no no, not whine) Advice wanted

Ah, no sympathy needed - I *never* could drink, so don't know what I'm
missing (and watching others when they're drunk, well, I don't think I've
missed much).

The point of drinking wine is not to get drunk, it's to enjoy the taste.

taste of the food in a wonderful way.

But then she'd have to wear the funny underwear... or is that only men?

Just a hint, but that remark seems unlike you. There's always been
room here for all types. When you checked your own post, I wonder if
you didn't regret hitting the send button.

Speaking of wine, I like a drink as much as the next guy. The problem
is I drink as much as the next two or three guys. :-)

I don't see anything disparaging against Mormons in Victor's remark.
Stormin' said to join the Mormons to avoid having to buy wine and
Victor pointed out that the downside would be the undergarments. They
*do* wear some sort of special undergarment, don't they? I don't see
what's wrong with mentioning that and asking if it's only men that
wear it or if it's women too.
If you're referring to the "funny", he *did* put a smiley in there so
it was a good natured jab/question, IMO. Sorry if I've offended
anyone with this post.

Not at all, I don't see anything wrong with that post and I hope Stormin
Mormon realizes that.

Sorry, the consensus seems to be that I read too much into a
lighthearted remark. When I'm wrong, I like to say so. I know
perfectly well that there isn't a mean-spirited bone in your body, and
now I'm the one who regrets hitting the send button.

Ah, see, I don't get that since just the smell makes me nauseated - I
couldn't even imagine it tasting good.

You have me confused here, Victor. Half my family are Mormon and they have
never mentioned anything to me about funny underwear.
This is what I'm going to do tomorrow, when I go to Sunday lunch, with lots
of church members and even maybe a missionary or two there.
I shall say "is there anything you'd all like to explain to me about
strange underwear?"
And I'll see what happens. ;-)

I don't drink alcohol. I'm an alcoholic and a diabetic and don't touch
the stuff. However Mike and James like wine. They prefer sweet red
wines. I hate wine. It hated me. Any alcohol made out of fruit hated
me. So I need help steering them to decently priced sweet red wines.
Any suggestions?

Lambrusco. Its red, has the sugar content of a soda pop and gets you very
very drunk very very quickly. I don't remember I concert I went to, thanks
to Lambrusco.

Your Lambrusco must be very different from ours then! It has a lowish
alcohol content, around 7%, and isn't really considered to be wine at all.
I would need lots of bottles to be even the tiniest bit tipsy.
So, what's *your* Lambrusco like?

Sorry, I don't drink alcohol. I think my body must manufacture that
stuff that they give to alcoholics that makes them sick when they
drink (my ex was prescribed that, but the first time he took one of
the pills and then drank and then got sick, he quit taking the pills!!).

Even the smell of alcohol will make me nauseated. At both my kids'
wedding, when they toasted the newlyweds, I had to take the smallest
little sip of champaigne and both times I immediately had to go upchuck.

Hugs,

CatNipped

That's when I'd start toasting with a glass of water. The water can be
in the same glass as the champagne for other people.
