Yes but they felt like death the next day.


Haha, I can personally testify that that is not true.

Why do you care if other people enjoy less expensive wines? Does it affect you or your bottom line in any way?


Because it’s the same vibe as someone who’s virtue signaling, but in this case they want to flex about how established their palate is for a cheap wine lol


So go on enjoying more expensive wines. No one cares how you spend your money, not sure why you care so much about people spending less and saving money.

I flew business class, and sometimes first class, internationally for twenty years. I have enjoyed some very nice wines in those 14-hour flights. TJs has some reasonably inexpensive offerings that are surprisingly competitive - at least to my inexpert but enthusiastic palette.
