Sick of Prosecco Cards/quotes

[le42]

... I know Prosecco is nice but really is it that nice?

On Mother's Day more than half the cards seemed to relate to Prosecco / wine.... clothes have messages about Prosecco on, gifts.... it's just a bit overkill.

Prosecco - overrated - thoughts?

I don't think Stella Artois with its long standing tag line #wife beater will be making an appearance soon

You're all making me feel like a right twat for laughing at and buying this tea towel for my friend a few years back.
Mumsnet posters are just too cool for school.

This is probably a whole new can of worms/thread, but I absolutely hate any sort of mum tat, whether or not it has an alcohol slant. “Mum’s chocolate stash” tins, “mum’s wine fund” money boxes, any sort of t shirt with “mama”, little signs with mum-related shite, I just don’t get it. I see a lot of t-shirts in a fashion group I’m in on facebook with parenting-related slogans and cannot understand why anyone would want to wear them. Which I guess is hypocritical as I wear band t shirts. But I don’t get it at all.

I think I’m just anti-tat in general but I’m especialy anti parenting tat.

In the 80s it was Blue Nun or Liebfraumilch, today it is Prosecco. OP YANBU.

Hate prosecco and all other fizzy drinks. I don't understand the 'thing' about unicorns and llamas either! I love camels - have about 30 of the things adorning a windowsill! I also think alpacas are becoming popular.

Isn't it all a bit tongue n cheek humour tho? I sent one of these naff cards to a good friend in France recently. She's not a big drinker now & when they do (she's married to a French guy) they choose particular wine / champagne etc was more an ironic type of card in jest cos it's so not her to lash into the booze. She said she laughed & got the joke. (phew!) I've got cards relating & to me n my fav drink I find funny. Doesn't send me into a spiral of self doubt n questioning if I have a problem!

I hate it too. All this crap pretending we can't get through a day without a drink. And everyone I know who was making such a fuss about doing dry January. You're not a raging alki love, a month without a drink isn't exactly difficult.

It's so boring. I hate it

Gosh yes all those people going on about dry January and thinking they're so amazing for not drinking for a month. Boring. Do whatever but don't bore me with it.

Every single person I know that bangs on about dry fucking January year on year has a very clearly dysfunctional relationship with alcohol @disenchantedtoday

Absolutely every single one.

Really @paulhollywoodssexgut? All the people I know who go on about it are the women who pretend like life cannot possibly function without a drink, but really have maybe 2 glasses of wine/one night out a week, depending on if they're older with kids or younger and single. Dry January really isn't much of a challenge for the vast majority of people who do it, but they act like they're performing some sort of miracle for making it through!

The gun obsession is already dated, run is the next spirit to go big, particularly spiced run
Live laugh love/ making memories are also so done nowadays

Don't like Prosecco or anything fizzy at all and while we are here ANYTHING with Harry Bloody Potter all over it.

My ultra-boring former manager had eight billion of these cards, signs and notebooks. Honestly, you might as well write “I DON’T FANCY MY HUSBAND AND HATE MY KIDS” on a tote bag.

Can’t stand the stuff I think it’s bloody awful, but I agree everything seems to be Prosecco inspired now!

Lesley Joseph at 3:12 in this video can empathise

I prefer a Cremante.

I see your prosecco cards and raise you gin (which is nicer!).

Bedraggled - Gin hasn't gone away from what I can see, the Prosecco and Gin cards sit nicely side by side in some card shops.
