I am drinking the worst wine in the world.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I don't know what asshole left this bottle here, but it's called "Tisdale" and it's so vile I have had two sips and am throwing the rest out.

There is really no excuse for wine this shitty to even exist. Even Trader Joe's has a drinkable wine for three dollars, FFS.

[Bruno]

Worse even than Manischewitz, MD20/20, or Wild Irish Rose?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Those aren't really wine!

[the last yatto]

That's not the one I got is it?

[Bruno]

Those aren't really wine!

Oh, really?

I'm not really a wine drinker, and as such have difficulty telling the difference between things that are wine, and things that are not wine.

[Lies]

1. Buy lots of bottles of Tisdale
2. Open restaurant, make it the most expensive wine on the list and sell it to wine snobs.
3. ????
4. PROFIT.

[Dysnomia]

I've never heard of it, but it sounds horrid.  What sort of wine is it Nigel?


I don't mind Trader Joe's "TJRCWF" (trader joes really cool wine find).

Those are really wine.

Manischevits and wild Irish rose in particular, just really bad ones, mad dog is a fortified wine, so it depends on how strict a definition you are using.  Keeping out fortified wines keeps out port though.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

we are having mulled wine this xmas.  Normally that means "regular wine but warmed up and with an orange in it".  This year there is a bottle of brandy that my dad is trying to get rid of.

Holy Fuck.

Give it to me,  I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference at this late stage.

Um, no. You are talking out of your ass. Manischewitz contains corn syrup, so it's a wine beverage, not wine. Fortified wine is a wine beverage, not wine, which rules out Wild Rose and Mad Dog. It's like "meat food product".

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's not the one I got is it?

No, that wine was pretty decent. This is leftover from my Yule dinner.

I think it's labeled Cabernet Sauvignon.

I'm not, I sold wine for three years.  Port is definitely not a "wine beverage" It's fortified wine.  It might not be wine somewhere with a stricter definition than the US, but here so long as the primary fermentable is fruit juice and it is not a cider it's wine.  You can add all sorts of adjuncts (including corn syrup) and still have it be wine.

Figured that hipster place had some quality control.

Manischwitz, Wild Rose, and Mad Dog are not port. Port gets to still be wine because it is fortified with GRAPE SPIRITS and not GRAIN ALCOHOL or sweetened with CORN SYRUP.  Ass-talker.
