2 fun facts from Italy about wine: - If you are in Italy near Chieti (A province in Abruzzo) stop by Ortona: there is a fountain from which spills free red wine all year round (I went there once, the wine was actually really good); there are other wine fountains in Italy, but they are only available during certain events. - There is a legend of a ghost living in the cellars of the Castle of Montevecchio, in Tuscany; he was the owner of the castle, a passionate winemaker, and supposedly he inspects the quality of the wine in the cellars and the vineyards of the area.
Back when I used to drink, I played many drinking games with stuff like dark souls and when I couldn't find a cider I could drink and didn't want to buy some rum, I'd get wine as an alternative. Wine hangovers were somehow shittier than a liquor hangover for me.
Same. Nothing gets me drunk as quickly as wine, and I always get the biggest hangovers with the worst headaches after drinking wine. I could literally drink 5 shots of vodka back to back and they wouldn't get to me as much as a single glass of wine will.
Residents of ancient Rome believed that strong men drank beer, while cultured men drank wine. Some of the modern stereotypes we have of these alcoholic beverages come straight from that.
And that in itself comes from classism and imperialism! German beer was banned as the drink of barbarians, while Roman beer (made with barley, herbs, and air fermented) was often made in bulk and watered down, so it was cheap. Wine required careful cultivation and thus was expensive. So the average barbarian would get shitfaced on beer, and the average plebian would get shitfaced on beer*, while the average philosopher and senator could afford to get shitfaced on wine. And so, beer became the working man's drink, and wine the thinking man's drink.
I like wine, but every time I drink it (even just a glass) there is a 100% chance that within the next 45 minutes I will vomit up the wine. I have no idea why, but I will become so incredibly sick, and when i throw up the ONLY thing that comes up is the wine, even if i was eating with it. Then once its out of me, i feel perfectly fine again. So i just... dont drink it. The only wine I can drink without getting sick is Sake but that barely counts as wine.
Well, he left one big part out... other than French and Italian wines, there's also a massive section of German wines / grape varieties (which, due to history, means linguistically German, so Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Riesling, Silvaner, Rivaner / Müller-Thurgau, Gewürztraminer, Blaufränkisch, and so on.
1:05 I'm very lucky I'm a lightweight with wine. I can take a sip and I'm pretty buzzed in 5 mins or so. Vodka is water, Hennessy is fine, Rum hits pretty fast as well, beer hits fast. That's about it. Getting drunk is cheap for me unless it's vodka.
@@Vaguer_Weevil Eyy that's awesome. I have yet to try mead. I don't go out to drink often. Usually it's just me on discord with the homies or a few friends who live in my area. Anything you recommend since I know nothing about Mead? I like stuff on the sweeter side if that helps at all.
@@lottji As far as anyone can tell it was just that one video. Of course he shouldn't have done it but I don't think it ruins the value of the rest of his work.
@@ayoayo1044 His man in cave video turned out to be almost a word for word reading of some guy's article (plagrism accusations). Got copyright claimed, he reworded it and reuploaded it and credited the article. The general disappointment when it comes to the drama is that he didn't just ask the original writer, get permission and credit him on the first video. (Edit: he also wasn't really honest with his community about the issue) Seems to be the only video with this issue, not that horrid of a situation, probably gonna blow over.
you can buy white claw in the uk in some places or mikes hard lemonade but no one wants american brands im sorry. Uk has a million what we call 'alco pops' which are sweet juice like drinks or vodka/gin/rum mixed drinks in a can. WKD and smirnoff ice is still really popular too. Cider is also completely different and generally quite sweet in the uk, cider is almost more popular than beer here and generally youll get like a strawberry lemonade or lemon and lime or pear flavour.
i really like sweet red wine myself, although ill never turn down any kind of drink to be honest, but i found out about plum wine and its my absolute favorite
24:28 Beardless IH is the most bizarre thing in the whole video 😆

Idk why, it just doesn't make any sense.

Got to love how IH doesn't explain what tannins are.
RIP mom and dad.

There's a place near me that sells mead, fermented honey, that's like $6. Tastes good, real cheap and you'll get a quick *buzz* from it

Wine is best served in a red solo cup. Wine was great for pre-gaming before hitting the bars.
