You say I've "never had good wine." I've heard that line too many times. Before tasting some foul $20 to $40 per glass vinegar. Or worse yet, some sweet dessert vinegar. I see a $400 bottle of red and think "Yeah, that'd work for boeuf bourguignon." :LOL:
Forget that crap, any bottle that costs more than 20€ is just a way to flaunt your money anyway.
A good wine cannot be drunk like some posh anal cavity sipping his pricey brandy. You'll know good wine when you're with some friends or significant other, peacefully watching that giant ball of fire set on the horizon. You are with the people you love, they sing, you drink, we smile, and the day becomes night, and the laughter becomes memories. Good wine is that last companion you thought you forgot but remember at every sip. Good wine is not in the taste of fermented grape, it's in the shared good times that never really went away.

I've not heard of birch wine. I've had birch syrup... it's quite tasty.
It's actually quite similar in flavor, except Birch Wine is obviously alcoholic. And Birch Wine interestingly enough requires less birch sap to make than the syrup. There's also something called Birch Beer, but I must admit I never got to try that.

Oh, so the good wine is a rich porter. Got it. ;)

Richard Porter was an American drug dealer who rose to prominence in Harlem during the War on Drugs in the mid-1980s; police described him as being a "high-level cocaine dealer" who "sold about $50 thousand worth of cocaine a week".
Hmm, in a way, it does work.

I agree with this. A wine, or any alcohol for that matter, is ultimately only as good as the company it is shared with.:)

Listen pal, you put whatever you want down your throat. No one here is kink-shaming you ;)
Not a fan of porters? That's okay, more for me.

EDIT: You're not just hating on it because it's made in the UK, are you? I thought the French and English got over that a long time ago. Thus, the chunnel. ;)

The same can be said for food - I wouldn't do an annual 14-hour barbecue brisket if I didn't want to share it with loved ones.

Actually, the same can be said for most things, even... hmm... games?

I never drank Porter, but when I used to drink alcohol, my favorite beer was Blue Chimay, a Belgian dark beer:

I ain't got nothing againt UK. My all-time favorite writer is British, Sir Terry Pratchett (read his books from 8 years old to now, 25 years later), my second favorite writer is a certain Smutty Nottress (it's okay, they'll never know who I'm talking about), one of my faves shows growing up were A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Blackadder, I hate football so there's no rivalry here and my favorite alcohol is not from the UK but not too far, Irish Redbreast.
So Keep calm and long live our Smutty queen Lust be upon her :D

That is a good one. Had one or five of those when I lived in Germany. As a German friend I had said to me: "Germans make the best beer. Belgians make even better beer."
Germans perhaps, but we Czechs would always contest the Belgians for who makes the best beer!:D

Which IMO is impossible to decide because Belgian beer is very different. What is absolute truth though, is that we make the best pilsner type of beer, cause we invented it! Certainly better than German!

Nice new emoji:p
I still want my winky! ;p But why is it in the middle? That non round thing is disrupting my flow! That bothers my OCD badly.
Who would dare use this reaction while we're still waiting for the wiggling eyebrows!? D:
We need a winky and an aww! XD
People need some prescription glasses around here Ava. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
I have them, but I am nearsighted and I am sitting about a foot from the screen, so I almost never wear them.

Wow, the TLDR post was TL! :eek: :ROFLMAO:
It is clear to me that your definition of innocence differs from mine. :) Also, I rather like opera.
I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!!!
I can understand her not sharing her Jaffa Cakes, but surely she could spare a sip of wine between sessions... I mean where is her aftercare? :unsure:
Alcohol dulls the senses, so you would not feel the whips, slaps, and other fun...
*hugs* see! proper aftercare! take notes Mistress Notty!

It's a little thing called CH4! Sorry! :rolleyes: :oops:
CHANNEL FOUR!?!?!? YOU HEATHEN!!!! Everyone knows Ch4 is fake news!!! The only true news is Channel SEVEN!!! Every TRUE ACIO Member can tell you, 'this is known'! Are you an impostor?!?! Are you really ...the real THEA?!?!?!? :eek: Someone grab some rope!
That reminds me of that old debate about sacrifices to the gods and whether they sacrificed virgins cause they were special or the argument they sacrificed virgins actually since they were worth least, since they had not proven themselves yet as being able to bear children and were only a burden.
This is so, is it only the gods who have the honor of their deflowering, or is it revenge for not putting out? Who can say? ...Well a few people, but they are not talking.
I am no bastard! Wait, actually, I am. Never mind.

Disclaimer: I do not like grape wine. It all tastes like vinegar to me. Mead? Yes (and the drier the better)! Dandelion wine? Yes, (if it's not over-sweet). Berry wines? Okay, fine. Grape wines? :sick: I cannot distinguish between good wine, bad wine, and vinegar (unless it's balsamic) - it all tastes like the same thing. Fine to cook with, but I can't drink it.
I quit drinking wen I was 19. ;p
You know, sometimes, I ask myself: "How did we go from a sci-fi porn game about a faulty station on an unknown planet to virgin sacrifices and angry gods". And then, I remember. Notty. It's her fault. She is *not* innocent. I'm guessing she's the goddess here and our time and... "tears"... are her sacrificial needs!
I blame the VR game...

I could just say that you simply never had good wine.
This could not be more true. ;p

Then I guess the statement is true then. ;p
