Ultimate Alcohol Poll - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Other: PRUNO!. Got a problem with that?

Mainly port, different sorts of red wine and some Belgian beers.

I have expensive tastes so voted Single Malt Whisky LOL

My usual buy is the basic Macallan as that is all I can afford. Will treat myself to a better bottle for special occassions such as birthday & xmas.

Alcohol no thanks Geek

As a rule I don't drink, because of acid reflux and the fact the alcohol tastes like sh*t, but on the rare occassion I have something it's schnapps. Cinnamon and mints are about the only flavors not completely ruined by alcohol.

Time always wins.

Gin & Vodka for me.

I have heard white wine described as dry or sweet but not red wine. I love red wine but neither dry nor sweet. It isn't in the description on the bottle. So lets say I probably prefer a soft fruity wine. Merlot possibly but not averse to a cabernet

I have certainly had some sweet red wines. Certainly not as sweet as Moscato or Reisling, but not overly dry. Perhaps they were blends.

No.I drink a lot of wine. it is not described as sweet or dry here.

In the States, red wine is usually either described as fruity (shiraz, merlot) or dry (cabernet). I have had some fruity reds that were very sweet, but they usually do not advertise this on the bottle.

After watching some of the debate, I felt I needed to chime in on this thread. Being mostly a red wine drinker, I prefer Pinot Noir but do enjoy the other reds as well, espicially from the South of France and Italy. I have noticed in some of the stores (US), that a few bottles are beginning to put "sweet" into the label, not many though.

Here in the Carolinas, there is a native grape, Muscadine, which has a rough and tough skin but the meat of the grape is very sweet. There are many Muscadine wineries here, as it has sort of replaced the cotton fields, and they produce a sweet wine, but still has the bite of some of the dry ones (usually around 12% alcohol). The most well known around here is Duplin Winery.

My vote is for dry red since that is closest category for my choice.

I enjoy a wide variety of beer and wine. Not a fan of anything harder than that really, although I'll take some amaretto or port for dessert occasionally.
