[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't use Mason jars but you are very likely to get your wine in a jelly jar if you come to a BBQ at my house.  Much nicer than plastic, and better for the environment.  I've been using the same set for 20 years, plus they are very sturdy so the kids don't break them.  I use real wine glasses for dinner parties but when we are casual, I don't see what the issue is.

Some of you are intolerable snobs.[/quote]

I honestly won't drink wine unless it's from a Wine glass. Once BIL served wine in a tumbler and I was not impressed. The wine doesn't taste as good.[/quote]

Yes, that is because you are an intolerable snob, dear.  You probably wouldn't have much fun at a laid-back backyard BBQ anyway.  If you "honestly" won't drink wine from a jelly jar, I could give two shits whether you come to my party or not.  I am sure it will have any number of other flaws that make it not up to your standards.  [/quote]

Not PP you quoted but you don't sound laid-back. So hostile![/quote]

I am hostile to people who inform me that they "honestly won't drink wine out of anything but wine glasses" because it "doesn't taste as good."  Openly hostile, and proud of it.[/quote]

Thinner crystal or glass wine glasses also have a better mouth feel in addition to the PP who mentioned opening the flavor of the wine with the right shape. If you are going to drink a fine wine, it should be a nice experience. Jelly jars are fine for casual wines served at a casual event. See? We all win.[/quote]

I agree; that is certainly true for really nice wines.  I don't serve fine wines at backyard BBQs, so I doubt the haughty PP's experience would have been much tainted.  I don't find much difference between an average $10 bottle of Malbec from a jelly jar or a wine glass as long as you've opened it for a little while before serving.  I wouldn't offer jelly jars at a dinner party with nice wines, but when we have a kids welcome party out in the yard? The jelly jars and Malbec come out.  I just don't see the need for the "honestly wouldn't drink that" snobbery, as [b]the only purpose of that could be to make random strangers feel bad about their parties. [/b] Nasty work.[/quote]

No one is trying to  make you feel bad about your parties. I'm not the PP who got your fur up but why in the world would her opinion about drinking wine out of a jelly jar have anything to do with you or your parties? That is odd to me. People have a right to express their opinions. Do you really believe no one feels as that PP does? She was sharing her opinion in a rather casual way; I hate to imagine what happens at your BBQs when someone disagrees about something of more importance than drinking out of jelly jars.[/quote]

Agreed. I don't think PP had that kind of motive but was just expressing her opinion based on her experience. Nothing more.[/quote]
