Title: Cheap Red Wine
Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 18 September 2015, 05:52:13
As I drink it breakfast, lunch and dinner..  I roll back and forth in my seat.. Repeating the phrase: "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not an alcoholic."  I just need a glass to calm down..(http://i.imgur.com/jLi8KLK.gif)

TBH though.. the red wine quality isn't as good over here..  I'm not shelling out for expensive bottles..

but even by ---industrial-wine--- standards,  China is not making smooth red wine..

cheapo white or rose wine is much better to get drunk, the difference between bad and good red wine is way bigger than for white/rose.

I agree with this absolutely.

Low-end red wine will punish you tomorrow. Save it for cooking, it works pretty well there.

I used to live in china when my dad worked there, my parents told me stories of the red wine. Something like concentrate juice with a bit of alcohol to it.

And white wine goes very well with anything fish, which is very common in china I believe?

I think it's the other way round personally, a white generally has a more delicate flavour and so can more easily taste like pee.

Yea, never been a huge fan of beer.  all the carbonation and the sheer volume you need to get drunk... it's definitely not engineered for efficiency.

regardless...  Double IPA may be a better horse drawn carriage..   But Vodka, Everclear, are like bullet trains and airplanes respectively.
