[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again.

While you do not need to pay for extra wine, [b]you should at least have a basic knowledge of wines for interacting with wine snobs..[/b]

My mom is kind of a wine snob and my MIL likes almost over the top sweet wines and I can sense the silent judgement[/quote]

Or we could just not care what the wine snobs think.  Or what any kind of snobs think, for that matter.[/quote]
I agree with you in principle, but there are certain circumstances where it may be to your advantage to do this [/quote]

OP, my husband collects wines and is a wine snob.  I like wine fine but don't know anything about it and have no interest in digging deep into the topic.  I also like cocktails.  My husband gets jokingly annoyed because he says I have a much better palate than he does.  He has tried to "catch me out" a number of times and I'm always consistent in what I find good and not good, what I like and what I don't like. Because I don't care, I will deem a "high end" wine to be not to my liking, and no harm done; if there's a cheap wine that I like, I'm ecstatic because I'd prefer to spend less money on wine than spend more money.  If your MIL likes sweet wines, good for her.  If your mother is judging your MIL, then that shows your mother is insecure and over-invested in the idea of "Good Wines."  Wine should not be made into a fetish, in my opinion.  In the end it's just a beverage that gets pissed out of our system.  [/quote]
