“The resonance density sounds watered down. Were these grapes picked in the rainy season?”
“No, the glass shape was chosen because it flattens the resonance to match the acoustics of the barrels. You’re hearing it just as the creators intended.”
So I’ve done a lot of world traveling. Now when I’m with my friends, who have never left the US, I ironically act snobby about dumb shit. “This pizza isn’t as good as the pizza I had in Italy” “This isn’t as good as German beer” “This sushi isn’t like the real sushi in Japan” “if this spider was from Australia I’d already be dead”
I hope they know you’re joking otherwise you might come off as a bit of an asshole
I bet they love it
You call this a mugging? In Belfast, they have real muggings!
Pff that’s nothing like the guns they have in Switzerland!
School shooting? Meh, in Czech Republic they shoot up universities!
In fairness, if someone did this I’d probably do the same… Not because I thought there was anything to it or to fit in, but I’d think “huh, now I wonder what it sounds like. Does it make a cool sound?”
I don’t think it’s group think so much as it’s a social learning behavior. If you see someone do something confidently and appear satisfied with the result, you’ll start to wonder if you should try it… It seems to be working for them
Hell, just talking about it is making me wanna try, lol.
And we all know some wines do make a sound, like sparkling wines, so maybe you could hear some bubbles in a less sparkly wine too? I will try it next time I’m having wine.
S-staff tastings? 😳
Nothing boosts employee morale like gathering around a large helping of roast Doug!
large helping of roast Doug!
What did Doug do? 😰
Look the tastiest.
He won most likely to resemble wagu long pork.
If you sell wine it helps to know what it tastes of, so you can authorize purchase of and recommend certain wines to customers.
This applies mainly to restaurants and upscale wine stores, not so much to the corner liquor store where the hot seller is the box of “white wine” on the bottom shelf near the door.
When I worked at a liquor store in the early 2000’s, we were sent to liquor/wine tastings every couple of months or so. The owner didn’t like schmoozing with salespeople, plus it was a good way to make sure we knew what we were selling. It was also a test to make sure you could hold your liquor and remain professional. Distributors would often regularly bring new products into the store for whichever staff was there to try.
Sushi in one line.
Pineapple cream in the other.

You can tell at what altitude the terrior was tilled due to minute variances in air pressure in the environment that make its way into the fruit. The feeling is similar to, if not characteristic of, the feeling of ears popping in an aircraft climbing to cruising altitude. It’s nuanced, subtle even, but to the trained aural canal, not difficult to discern.
Also notes of elderberry
No one was kicked out of a winery for laughing too hard.
I would bet it was not for the laughing. More likely it was for spilling wine all over one’s self this making them believe you to be too drunk. Or at least that’s the excuse, I bet the real reason was they were made to feel stupid by the listening to booze thing.
I believed the story until they spilled wine everywhere from laughing and got kicked out. It was an entertaining story until they went too far and blew it.

I’ve stopped listening to my wine. It kept telling me to kill people.
That is what we describe as “pretentiousness”. Professional wine tasting is full of it.
If I see someone doing something weird I’m not against trying it to see if there’s something to it.
Maybe the wine is extra crackly? XD
Tbf if I saw someone do that with their wine I’d wanna do it too, simply to answer the question of “what the fuck is she doing, is there some kind of purpose? What is she trying to hear?”
As a wine snob, I’m not about to listen to my wine.
Wine complains too much for my taste.
