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!!

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).

I got all excited about this and clicked the link and then saw... it's like really hard core tech and code-y. Sigh

Think I'll go and pour myself that first glass of (white) wine.

I'm not sure what you mean about hard core tech or code, the link is meant to point to this. (It does for me).

EDITED: Attaching image (hopefully) as it didn't show up when I pasted it in. I don't seem to have an option to upload it.

This made me laugh op! Enjoy your wine and your Friday night. I opened my first bottle of beer 20 minutes ago 🍺

@BitOutOfPractice😂👏

Never mind the wine, why are both of the the beer emojis just some sort of middling coloured liquid in
tankard style glasses? Where is the Guinness?

I've got those glasses! I drink red! It is like looking at home 😂

They do hold a decent amount and have survived being dropped (alcohol may have been involved).

A white wine emoji would look exactly how I sometimes prefer to have my fizzy water: clear bubbly and in wine glass, at least when it's red everybody knows it's signifies wine, surely you can't be serious LOL

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 26/09/2025 18:06

Where is the platypus emoji??? That's what i want to know! 🦆🦡. Not good enough

Stuff 5pm on a Friday, I went for 3:45pm. Logged in to a client live system database too. What could possibly go wrong. 🤔🤔

🤣 cheers - enjoy

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 26/09/2025 19:24

I always wanted a lawnmower emoji for messaging about haircuts to the DSs...

Flakey99 · 26/09/2025 20:56

I want a couple of sewing machine emoji’s.

A modern computerised one and an old hand crank. 😊

MrsEMR · 26/09/2025 21:01

Definitely need the white wine emoji. I use the champagne glasses as a substitute. Also need a Guinness pint emoji - the lager emoji just doesn’t cut it.
