Wine Vs coffee comparison of the hobby

Just a joke 😁

Brilliant.

I thoroughly enjoy exploring the nuances of coffee, many different types of beer and whiskey but try as I might, wine is one drink I’ve just never been able to enthuse over.

Although I do quite enjoy the awkwardness in a great restaurant when the sommelier talks passionately through the wine list and I reply with ‘no thanks mate I’ll have a beer if you’ve got one’.

Grapes.

ROFLMAO.

Who’da thunk it? Wine tastes of grapes. See, I’ve always said you’re never to old to learn, and she learned me someting there I’d never have suspected. 😁

Alcohol is a known carcinogenic toxin while coffee has mostly beneficial effects, or that’s what my coffee bias is telling me LOL

Wine doesn’t require anywhere near as much equipment as a hobbyist as coffee does.
Well, not once one has a cellar full of the stuff or a wallet stuffed full of readies.
A couple of good glasses and a fancy corkscrew and one doesn’t even need that with modern Stelvin caps.
I took friends advice in the 90s to buy half cartons of wines you like in the $10-20 a bottle range and stick them away somewhere.
It has stood me in good stead for some wines.
Others I drank before replacing.🥳
There was an interesting discussion on CoffeeSnobs last year when someone claimed that there were more flavour notes in coffee than wine.
Shot down in flames IIRC.

All I can add here is a quote I read on here a few weeks ago:

“You never know when that chest grabber is coming. Drink the good wine now”

‘Wine’ in this quote applies to anything and everything

I immediately thought of Paul O’Grady….you never know when your time is coming. In addition to the above saying, so you might as well be nice, you can’t take it with you and all you leave are memories!

I actually saw him perform in one of the London clubs…He singled me out instantly 🤣.

I knew a few girls who had some gay friends and we all went to one of the earls Court Clubs. He could detect me a mile away as a straight guy (pretty much the only one) walking across the floor of the club, walking funny and covering my arse as he put it….Then he proceeded to make fun of the fact I was there. All in good humour of course and nothing nasty in it.

That was a very long time ago…I think I was 24 or 25 years old.
