To think that liking white (grape) wine isn't something should be so snobby about.

I am not a frequent drinker of wine. But I find that people tend to love red wine. But drinking white (grape) wine is looked down upon. I don't care about your wine taste. It doesn't bother me. If you drink wine ...it doesn't matter. It's just bloody wine.urghh

How bizarre.

Is white grape wine white wine? Do you call red wine red grape wine? What other kind of wine is there.

I'm a bit of a wine snob admittedly, but I don't care what other people chose to drink whether its grape wine or not.

BIWI · 15/04/2021 11:43

Anyone who looks down at people who drink anything other than red wine is an inverted and ignorant snob.

DorotheaDiamond · 15/04/2021 11:43

Most white wine is made from red grapes anyway...colour is about the skins being left in or not!

Have I been missing out all these years? I've just been buying white wine not white (grape) wine.

Now I have FOMO.

That aside wine snobbery for the average person is stupid. Unless you're a proper connoisseur then drink what you like. I have a favourite white and red but with pandemic stress I'll drink anything these days

Ginmakesitallok · 15/04/2021 11:48

And white wine can be made from red grapes....

Horehound · 15/04/2021 11:49

Why is "grape" being written?! Bizarre.

Never heard of red wine as snobby and white wine as trashy either Confused

It depends - you can make white wine from red grapes

It’s probably more the ‘type’ of white wine.

It’s literally not a thing- they go with different things / situations 😐

Wasn't even my friend.

Not as buzzards as keep saying GRAPE all the time

Twickerhun · 15/04/2021 11:51

Isn’t the colour of wine down to wether the grape skin is included? So most wine is (grape) wine.

Twickerhun · 15/04/2021 11:53

And no liking either red or white wine is nothing to be snobby about. It’s all in the production

Cosmos45 · 15/04/2021 11:54

What's with the grape reference? Odd.. ALL wine is made from grapes.....

Beautiful3 · 15/04/2021 11:54

Hate all wine and champagne.

Bellyundertit · 15/04/2021 11:54

There are other types of wines. Plum elderberry. White flesh peace wine. I just find it odd. Who says things like that.who even cares. It's just bloody white grape wine. 🤔

I like both (actually all three). Thinking about it, I like white more in daylight hours, rose when it’s sunny and warm and red when it’s dark. Nobody’s ever has a problem with any of this. With food it really does matter what you are eating, that’s why a tasting menu comes with a flight of wines, some of which will be white.

Bellyundertit · 15/04/2021 11:55

You're not missing out. Neither am I.

Twickerhun · 15/04/2021 11:55

Do you go to a pub and ask for grape wine? Or just wine?

BobbuhT · 15/04/2021 11:56

Mmmmmhh peach wine. Is it too early to crack a bottle open? 🤤

Bellyundertit · 15/04/2021 11:57

@Mewmin

I've never encountered this. Maybe it's just your friends?
Completely baffled OP. I have never come across this - but in your world it's everyone?????? Confused

Bizarre.

What?

This is just getting mire bizarre by the minute.

fluffythedragonslayer · 15/04/2021 11:58

I'm so confused. People.are snobby because you drink wine made from grapes and not other fruits?!

Crappyfridays7 · 15/04/2021 12:03

I don’t drink any wine at all, it’s disgusting all of it. Gives me a sore head and heartburn. My mum drinks red and white I assume lee preference is white as that’s what I see her drink more. I couldn’t care less what people drink tbh don’t know anyone who does make a difference...
