Lol imagine if you’ve spent $13k on a bottle of wine by accident and your worst nightmare is that people on twitter are mad at you. Eat the rich.
Best glass of wine I ever had was from a $350 bottle. My wine nerd friend who gave it to me said “yeah anything much more than this is probably hyped up crap for rich assholes to show off with”.
Yep, exactly what I would say and what I’ve always been told by the bougie side of my family. Thats also why there’s a big market price gap between $400 and $1000+ you always see a jump from around 300 and something to over a grand on nearly every wine list.
Also I’m not kidding about Lidl wines by the way, they’re genuinely fantastic wines with a huge following among the wine community. Worth tracking down if you like wine.
Feels very weird to talk about my moms bougie family and their interests on chapo, even if it is about how fucking stupid and shallow they are.
I have worked in the wine industry in the past, in both sales and production. Wine making is blue collar as fuck. It is hilarious what snobs will make out of a bottle of wine. Meanwhile the dude who made it wears a straw hat and carhart overalls. Lots of shit is held together with duct tape or baling wire, or some combination of the two, and a prayer to whatever god or gods you think will help it last one more season before needing to be replaced.

I mean if you were with people actually praying to the gods while making wine then that sounds kinda cool. any cool bacchus/dionysus festival stories?
