Those who smell the cork, let it breathe, swirl and sniff the wine, take a small sip and contemplate for 10 seconds before giving an opinion. Having long conversations about the year the grape was grown and the soil conditions. Saying things like “it’s earthly oaky tasting”.

It’s laughable to me, I’ll bet in a blind taste test of several bottles ranging in various low and high prices, these types could not tell the difference.

I have a friend from high school, grew up normal middle class, mainly drank beer in mass quantities, but now has come into wealth and suddenly he’s a wine expert.

If I'm drinking something only because it taste good, then it would be a strawberry milkshake. .
If I'm drinking something to get "the alcohol effect" it will have to taste good enough to drink enough.
There is no in between.

Is that just enjoying the wine?

Are you upset at people that enjoy good steak too?

Because you seem more like the type who would scarf down a Salisbury in seconds and belch at the table.

I’m not a wine snob but my wife is in the wine business so I see my share of those types, good for business, but in the blind taste tests, the truly knowledgeable can tell exactly what they’re drinking, seent it

True blind tests are great. Somms equal about the same as novices. Truly opens your eyes to what you like vs what your eyes tell you.

This absolutely reeks of insecurity. Your wife leave you for a wine enthusiast or something?
