Date: July 15th, 2026 2:26 PM Author: UhOh you drink a lot, get bored with your go to, and start "exploring" and intellectualizing your addiction. wine is especially easy to do this with because there are so many varieties from all over the world with long histories you can spend a lifetime learning about. bourbon otoh is a joke. i mean it's good but jfc bro it's not that complicated.

Date: July 15th, 2026 7:57 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., Outting yourself as a prole New Yorker who doesn’t have space for a case of wine here. The average middle class American has a basement that could easily serve as wine cellar, and can receive a wine delivery with minimal hassle.
But ok yes it is a shitty investment and anyone who treats wine as a portfolio is either rationalizing alcoholism or a weird autistic hoarder. |

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:36 PM Author: married into a shame based culture Excuse to drink more. My wife tells people I collect bourbon. My "collection" is about a dozen bottles, including maybe 6 bottles of rare breed and 4 or five knob creek 12 year because I find them enjoyable, available, and reasonably priced. If she ever asks whether I'm "pouring another one?" I just tell her it's for research purposes, she doesn't register that they're mostly the same.

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:38 PM Author: zoomer sexuality expert idgi why this is considered a "good thing"
like, "oh I can't enjoy just any wine. It has to be this very special limited selection." Meanwhile I'm prolely drinking wine out of a box and it's fine. I don't think that other guy actually *enjoys* his wine more than I do in an absolute sense, he's just blown out those particular dopamine receptors to such an extent. Therefore he has to spend $40 a bottle |

Date: July 16th, 2026 12:58 AM Author: Josh_Allen Wives tolerate it because they can enjoy it, too. There’s also some opacity because they don’t have the capacity/attention to get as into it (wine collecting is at least 98% male).
It can be enjoyed across generations. |
