Wine or Beer?

[Urban Sports]

This may have been done before, but anyway I was always a big beer drinker but over the past 2 years I seemed to have been moving from beer to vino!

No particular reason I just seem to be at a cross roads as to which one I prefer!

Just wondering on what everybody else thinks?

[Puggit]

Much more wine then beer these days - and I believe that's the trend (there was press on this a few weeks back).

I think it's the peeing so much when you drink beer that puts me off, along with the beery bum.

PH serious thread reduced to lowest common denominator immediately

Whichever's nearest

Generally prefer wine, particularly French and Italian reds. Most beer tastes of chemicals... except the 7% 'Debowe Mocne' that my Polish colleague brought me last week... which was light, crisp and very refreshing and produced no hangover whatsoever!

Cask ales are nice but mass produced lager just doesn't do it for me anymore, red wine is really good especially spanish which I seem to drink now.

Some beers are harsh and far too gassy!

Wine, the black stuff or a pint of cooking fat.

Both (and gin and whisky). Red wine is my favourite though, to the point that I avoid it during the week because it's too easy to find myself at the bottom of the bottle and looking at a less than productive morning the next day. It's just too tasty.

Beerwise I prefer bitter (cask, not pump - hark at me, the beer snob) before guiness, with lager coming in last unless it's hot. And even then I'd rather a good Czech lager, and wouldn't touch Heineken and its ilk.

Having said that I spent a very pleasant afternoon drinking Fosters in cans (oh, the shame) the other day, but in my defence we were at a race circuit and there was nothing else about.

When i'm out with the lads, i'll normally start on the beer and ultimately end up on the beer.

As for my ultimate preference, i'd go with wine. You simply can't beat a big chunker of a bordeaux or rioja.

At home I drink far more wine, it's very rare that we have any beers in the house anymore. I prefer a nice refreshing G&T after finishing work.

I prefer wine by the pint, taking after my great uncle "Triceratops Pap-smear the Ist" ...

[TpdNotts]

Wine. A nice red or white Rioja.

Beer, always beer. Either a fine real ale or a proper lager like Bitburger, Budvar or one of the fantastic brews from the Meantime Brewery

Have never really got into wine.

As beer makes me fart more, 'er indoors requests that I drink more wine. I've no probs with that
