Don't tell me now that you never drink any wine! :(

Never ever. :(
I tried wine while I was on vacation two months ago. It was the first time I had wine. I had a cotton candy flavored one and a chocolate one. It tasted great being swished into my mouth but burned going down the throat.

I bought a bottle of the chocolate one, but haven't bothered to open it since I got back home. I had even bought a bottle opener and some plastic shot cups for when I needed a sip.

Except me. I almost always drink alone since I have about no friends at least none near enough that wouldn't require a plane ticket to get to each other's houses.

I even measure my drinks, only two teaspoons of red wine a day and NOT everyday. I don't think that's enough to impair one's mind.

I will drink in particular when I had a meal with tomatoes because tomatoes are somewhat poisonous to me and give symptoms of poisoning, including nausea, headaches, and diarrhea. Red wine seems to neutralize the toxicity of tomatoes to me. I think most people don't have toxic reaction to tomatoes so they can't use tomatoes as excuse to drinking wine!

I will also drink if I needed to sleep right away so definitely at night before bed. Same two teaspoons of red wine.

Sometimes I drink beer, in that case, four teaspoons of beer a day and I always mix my wine or beer with another drink such as lemonade to help reduce its toxicity and improve taste. I don't particularly like the taste of wine so that's one reason I mix them with other non-alcoholic drinks. I do like the taste of beer however but I still mix it with other non-alcoholic drinks to reduce toxicity and improve taste. Palatability of alcoholic drinks is subjective and to me, I prefer them mixed with something else.
Wine spritzers are pretty good.

My wife and I have been drinking reds for the most part. Personally, I love a good Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Cabs, oh heck, any dry red will do it for me. Recent we went to a wine bar and I had an amazing Old Fashioned with a smoked whisky. Wasn't expecting that it would cost $35 for a small glass but totally worth it.

Chocolate wines. Really good in small amounts. The flavor is chocolate with a alcoholic bite.

The Bible never gives a blanket prohibition against alcohol, but drunkenness.

Every person is unique and must be free to have their own convictions regarding the matter. We should be sensitive to diverse perspectives, remembering not to judge God’s servants if they differ on food and drink details (Romans 14:17).

The core issue is remaining free and sober-minded to do the will of God.

Peace.

Chocolate and cotton candy wine? I can’t even imagine! Lol! :eek:

I sometimes mix red wine with milk chocolate drink^_^

The taste is very similar to Black Forest Chocolate Cake. Same good taste but cheaper!

Wine spritzers are pretty good.

I know! I use lemonade + red wine as alternative.

I always put brown (unrefined) sugar in these mixes so the red wine taste doesn't overwhelm the main flavor like lemonade or chocolate for example but rather served to enhance the flavor.

Because of sugar, I limit the drink to only once a day to help manage my weight.

I like sweet but the red wine and chocolate just sounds overwhelming to me. Lol
