why should it be that way. wine should be fun, not something to prop oneself up into a different intellectual realm. There is a time and place for serious wine drinking, I do it on a frequent basis with some of my tasting groups. But, my point for this is to have fun and emphasize that fact, and also point out that wine shouldn't always be serious, its an alcoholic beverage when you get down to it
If one wants to cut themselves off from the world and put themselves on a different level when drinking wine, that's their perogative, but my purpose in creating this thread is to get good discussion about wine, and to also pull back the sheet a bit that makes people not as willing to get into wine.
Saying that it is hilarious that one would want to watch UFC while drinking wine and eating food IMO is keeping that shield up that prevents people from getting into wine. So what if they want to watch something like football or fighting while drinking wine, the point is that the wine is being enjoyed
