STILL there is no white wine emoji, what misogyny is this?!

So they've announced the latest round of emojis to be added to our phones, apparently we'll get an apple core and a radish and seriously, they are scraping the barrel for emojis that people might need... there's 50 thousand emojis of people of every shade running left.. and running right, like that makes a difference... and walking with a walking stick pointed left... and pointing right...

but THERE IS NO WHITE WINE EMOJI

Only red wine and champagne and they are Not The Same. As women are the biggest drinkers of white wine (and it's nearly 5pm on a Friday) I am calling this out , it's clearly misogyny and sexism and vile anti-women behaviour from big tech. I bloody want a ww emoji!!

I’d say your desperate need for a white wine emoji, and the count down to 5pm, speaks volumes.

White wine sucks. I do want cookery emojis, though. Why are there loads of food emojis, but nothing to cook them on/with? Loads of hobby equipment emojis, but nothing for a basic task which billions of people do every day? Why can I count 15 different ball sport emojis when there's no frying pan?

I started on the white at 1pm. No shits given about what that says to you

I had not noticed the lack of white wine emoji. Now I'm just going to be sad every single time I send a wine emoji to my BFF. Grin

@Simplox isn't there an egg in a fryng pan emoji?

Phial · 26/09/2025 15:52

I am always shocked by what there is and what there is not.
It's almost impossible to have an actual emoji conversation these days.
😥

There still isn’t a brunette with fair skin, either!

Yes, fair enough, but that's no good unless I'm fryng eggs! The other 99% of the time I'm cooking then an egg-frying emoji is just misleading...

Mrsplants · 26/09/2025 15:58

Where can I find the list?

HundredMilesAnHour · 26/09/2025 16:16

Well currently 35% of the tech workforce is made up of women so perhaps they just aren’t keen on white wine?

GlassofRosePorfavor · 26/09/2025 16:17

I want a rose wine one it's far superior

and a vodka redbull one for my late night messages

No decent emojis for House Breaking tools either.

A hammer, a ladder and a spade are for amateurs, but no good for the professionals who take pride in their blags. 😡

JoBrodie · 26/09/2025 16:37

Heh :) You can propose a new emoji https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html
Or in the interim use ◻️🍷

And while everyone is pouring themselves a glass please enjoy this emoji film quiz, answers later. (For those using screenreaders please go to the 2nd page).
