To want to drink nice drinks at a party if that’s what I take?

We often socialise in groups at each other’s houses. I don’t like Prosecco, and always take Cremant or Cava, or if red something mid range and drinkable.

Then inevitably get poured repeat glasses of the cheapest available Prosecco or nasty mass produced generic red that others have brought.

Can I reasonably manage to open and drink bottles I enjoy, or should I cut my losses and also take cheaper bottles and glug it regardless? (I can do this, I just don’t really enjoy it, so drink a lot less, which is fine)

I’m not talking really expensive connoisseur type bottles that I take, just mid range drinkable.

I think it’s absolutely fine to drink what you’ve brought. If necessary comment and say you’ve been looking forward to drinking this chilled Cava / new red etc. and just open it. I doubt anyone will pay that much attention to this, especially if there are lots of drinks floating around / on offer etc. I will often drink what I’ve brought with me and offer others a glass too.
