What will you do with the wine?
This is my prejudice...but if you are going to lose money you should do it on guns! lol
Husband used to drink moderately, so I enthusiastically bought him fine wine, like a case of Petrus. In my best days I could actually do vertical sniffings - tell the same wine apart by years. I’m used as an alcohol detector in bars. If I sniff the glass and can’t smell alcohol, they send the drink back. Then he lost interest in wine and now the cellar, I fear, is turned to vinegar except for the best ones with the most tannin which I hope SOMEDAY he’ll investigate and try. Confession: I couldn’t resist dipping a finger in the ‘61 Lafite Rothschild and tasting it. It was everything they said it was. No matter what I tried - water, crackers, etc. - I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth!
I went from homebrewing (beer) to Blending(beer)
HomeBrewers Have more dos and don’ts than other cults.
Especially boiling non-grain stuff (that’s already been boiled to get what it is!
;)!

Mostly Blend IPA now, and/or DIPA when I can find HopSlam or Bro Benjamin.
Best in/for IPA is (for me) a dash of SoComfort, Honey, maybe a slight dash of vanilla creamer!
Beats the usual c**p*** found in most watering holes!
Just Plain Dick @ Planet WTF!
