I often forget how much I enjoy other types of wine and spirits, considering that I spend as much time as I do focused on brewing great beer. I decided to open a bottle of wine, tonight, and just enjoy it. I haven't done this in probably 3 or 4 years. I'm glad I did.

As much as I love beer, a good bottle of wine sure does rival those hefty pint glasses. All I wanted to do is to remind the beer brewing community that there are other fantastic options out there. But don't fret! I will be back to brewing this coming Tuesday...or as soon as the next 2 feet of snow is cleared from the roadways in the great state of New Hampshire. Enjoy your brews, friends!
 
Never been a fan of wine. I can't even stand the smell. However, I can totally see how other people can like it.

I am a sucker for a 7&7 or Dr. Pepper and Southern Comfort (aka Dr. Comfort, Dr. SoCo, Pepper Slammer, Southern Doctor) When I'm not drinking beer.
 
I'm an equal-opportunity drinker. As much as I love good beer, brewing and consuming, I like a good bottle of wine (preferably red), or most hard spirits (except tequila) just as much.
Vodka & tonic, screwdriver, Vodka & cranberry,
rum & coke, Captain Morgan & Dr Pepper (AKA Kirk & Bones [the doctor and the captain/])
Bourbon, gin & tonic, etc...
 
I have 300 bottles I've made in the basement (minus what we've drank in the last 2 years). Diversification is the key to success!
 
I have 200+ bottles of wine in the basement and find myself drinking beer.
Wine is for cold weather/cold nights or with a good meal.
Beer is during the afternoon or watching sports

But whiskey goes well with beer!
 
I brew beer and make wine. Tried cheese (not very successful so far), some pickling, want to try a tepache. I enjoy them all.

At present I have 4 beers that need to be kegged, a wine that needs to be transferred and another kit needs to be started.

I have about 20 beer recipes started. Which one next??
 
I've done a few wine kits. I have some Port I aged in a new Hungarian oak barrel and some Pyment I made with a can of Merlot base that came out wicked awesome.
