Year 1 Summer, first time making more than 4k in a day 🥰 I know it’s not much compared to some of you wine overlords but I thought I’d share because I’m pretty proud of it 😅 imgur.com/a/Q7oEwQh/
So, my friend asked me to do her make-up for her wedding this summer. This is my first practice run (After half a bottle of wine!) imgur.com/a/qmbP2

When the cats away, tea = Hurleys Super Valu Midleton Caramico pepperoni pizza with garlic mayo and glass of sparkling wine. No better way to enjoy a late summer evening in the sunshine. alfresco dining at it's best.
Found this growing where we cut back a large wine grape vine last summer. Zone 9b. Direct sun for some of the day, indirect for the rest (in our back yard)
2015 Game of Thrones wine is comparable to that year’s epic season, where as the 2019 vintage is Franzia that got left in the trunk of a car for the summer.
I joined the summer trip of the fine schoonerbrig Tres Hombres from Amsterdam to Getaria and back, bringing a cargo of wine
TIL of the Judgment of Paris. Before 1976, American wine had a terrible reputation internationally until an event where Stag's Leap, an American winery, won first place against French wines. In 2006 the same vintages were re-tasted and Stag’s Leap beat all French wines and took 2nd place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jud…
I was thinking of making a mango peach wine for the summer (my mother actually requested these flavors) - what do you all think? Would they work well? Maybe add some golden raisins as well....thoughts?

Has was there a shortage on 100-year-old aged wine/cheese/champagne/etc following the 100th anniversary of the First World War? Will there be another shortage come 2039-45?
I suppose this is a better question for /r/asksnobs, but I was just watching a video on 100-year-old aged cheese, and the first thing that popped into my mind was "wait, the first world war ended about a hundred years ago." Did the World Wars influence the production of long scale, time related goods like luxury cheeses and wines? Did farms particularly redirect a large amount of their resources to supporting the war efforts that we had a shock in the cheese market a hundred years later, or was this sort of production so negligible to the overall output of the farms, that there wasn't a change in the quantity produced.

My first calligraphy 'job' - I was paid in wine. :) I'm a total noob and still at the start of learning.
A couple grams and a bottle of Italian wine. First time since the quarantine. Okay, fourth, but the first time with Italian wine instead than beer

He hanged his grandmaster set on armor stand, put his swords on weapon rack, popped open that Sangreal with beloved Yennefer, and the only thing he was killing after all — rats in the wine cellar. Geralt of Rivia — the first witcher to die, calmly, of an old age.

Finished Hearts of Stone for the first time, Blood and Wine here i come!
Red Wine Mushrooms over Polenta. The mushrooms were incredibly beefy with mushroom broth and a pinch of rosemary. First time making polenta, and it was really good with butter, parmesan cheese, and fresh cracked pepper.
The Phoenicians were the first to have a significant impact on the history of wine. Along with their alphabet, they spread wine-making knowledge to areas such as Greece, Iberia, North Africa, and Italy. They also spread amphorae, known as the "Canaanite jar," for the transport and storage of wine.
Curious: What’s the first Tame Impala song you guys heard?(: (Mine was Half Full Glass of Wine)
And first favorite Tame song?
My first favorite was Expectation.
Yesterday was my 10-year anniversary of going through the temple for the first time. I spent the day in a bikini at the beach, flaunting my new tattoo, while a bottle of wine chilled in the fridge, and had the time of my life!
Looking to brew my first batch of skeeter pee. Would anyone change anything about the recipe? Would the attached lemon juice be acceptable? Planning on doing the wine slurry on my magnetic stir plate. Maybe give the yeast a day or two then slowly introduce the must. https://skeeterpee.com/recipe

(spoilers main) Daenerys and wine that tastes of hot summer days???
I don't know if I'm reading too much into this but in ACOK Daenerys III (pg 520), the wine is described as tasting of "fruit and hot summer days". Then on the same page, only 2 paragraphs later, the wine is described again as tasting of "pomegranates and hot summer days".
It is likely nothing but I found it really odd that the same sentence structure would be repeated so close together:
"The wine tasted of fruit and hot summer days." ... "The wine tasted of pomegranates and hot summer days."
The second mention of the taste of the wine really took me out of the book and kind of confused me, especially since the topic of the wine was over and they were talking about "the Pureborn" and other stuff.
Anyone else notice this or know why it's there twice??? am I reading into this too much?
One night, with my friends, we listened to the first three albums of Vampire Weekend while we drank a whiskey. I think Father of the Bride has to be heard with a good kalimotxo (Coca-Cola and red wine).
i work at walmart - first it was a juice box sized thing of wine and the next day it was this.
First time making wine (using Master Vintner kit) day 5 of primary ferment and it looks like I have mold on top? With lacto-ferments I would just toss, but wasn’t sure with wine. Any thoughts on how I can fix or how I can avoid in the future? Thank you for your help in advance! v.redd.it/ho68z91ireq41

Went to the bottle shop for the first time in a long time - needed Angastora bitters (for a soft drink). That little part of my head raised the idea of getting a bottle of wine ‘for old times sake’, but I gave it the stink eye and ignored that suggestion. Sobriety is freedom.

First contact has been made,The earths greatest bargain chip is The one thing that no other species has ever created. Wine, Alcoholic fermented grape juice gives us leverage over intergalactic trade.
