Guys unless your guns are so big that a t-shirt confines your biceps don't wear a sleeveless t-shirt.

What is horrid about it? nice summer drink, not a quality wine but a pleasant drink. We also like Reisling, Alsace, Loire type wines. We don't like these uber dry wines that taste like medicine.

Nothing wrong with Riesling and I love wines from the Alsace and Loire. White Zin is alcoholic sweetened drink, it shouldn't be classified as a wine now a lovely French Rose is a whole other species. Branch out, you're in the UK, you have great access to french rose.

Branch out? rather arrogant to assume that we have not already tried things & decided what we like & don't like. We don't like sour sharp wines & can't see any pleasure in drinking something that sucks your cheeks in. Apart from one or two we think all reds are the same. Demi-sec Champagne is more to our taste than Brut. One thing however a wine consumed with food is a different animal to one just for drinking.

John, really, arrogant? I even own the T-shirt that says Friends don't let friends drink White Zin...it's a well known saying and every winery in Napa sells it. I really couldn't G.A.S. what you drink. You really don't have to take everything so seriously.

Trackypup, great expression - I really couldn't G.A.S. ......
must try and remember that.
On the wine front, I order direct from an Italian vineyard. Italian wines are my favourite.
It is arrogant to assume what other people have or have not experienced..."branch out, try French Rose", because we LIKE white Zin & PREFER it to rose it is not due to ignorance just experience. Seriously? I'm not the one with teeshirt telling other people what they should or should not drink, wine snobbery I would say.

Ah, but you take great pride in telling other people what they should wear Not much difference if you ask me.
However, I'm really greatful that we're having this discussion on wine and I'm not having to defend the Speedo comment

to see people treat the employees badly. I saw a bunch of college kids laughing at one of the employees for dropping some glasses and broke them. They really looked down on him.
I was on another deck or I would of helped him pick up the pieces. I am not proud.
Some feel like they have the right to take advantage of the employees and never bother to tip them for their hard work.

Those kids will learn their lesson. When they finish college they will probably be waiting on tables.

For the most part-people do what they want to do- we need to remember everyone has their own opinions-and just because a friend's differs from mine-does not mean they are not my friend. As long as they are not suicidal-I say let friends do what they want.
For example- I was one of those diehards -no jeans for dinner on cruises when jeans were not on the suggested wear list. Friends that cruised with us knew how I felt but felt differently and they wore their jeans. It did not make them any less of a friend.
The same goes for muscle shirts and speedos-they are not my personal taste and I may voice that to friends and ask my hubby please not-but beyond that-none of my business.
