Why do rich people like wine?

Most people like wine

You'd be surprised how many wealthy people actually prefer cheap beers like Coors Light and Bud Light over wines.

I only drink red devil wine out of brown paper bag or boxed wine.

I thought wine was something regular people drink when they want to feel sophisticated?

I find all alcohol disgusting. Wine a little less so than beer. I can only stand alcohol drowned in sugar: cocktails. But then I usually order non alcohol cocktails...

Neither of those are beer.

what kind of mind altering substances are you abusing your body with to keep making stupid threads like this barely coherent crap up with ?

well off people drink whatever the fuck they want as loudly and obnoxiously as they can and the more expensive it is the more powerful they feel.... beer is mass produced in thousand gallon+ tubs in hours rarely shipped any distance and is cheap, cheap wine is similarly mass produced and sold locally....

decent /vintage wine is made in small batches (by comparison) shoved in dark cellars and kept safe for later shipping vast distances which is what makes it expensive

all the rich people i know eat caviar merely to piss off the proles in posh restaurants whilst swilling bottles of plonk that cost upwards of a grand being as loud and brash as possible in an effort to give their meaningless existence some semblance of fun..... most of them prefer steak and chips and detest caviar (who the hell wants to eat raw fish eggs that taste of nothing but sea salt anyway) 

wine is considered classy becasue like vodka it gets served in smaller glasses than beer...... personally i prefer cocktail pitchers to pints but thats just becasue you only need one for an entire night out and dont end up befuddled for 2 days afterwards (i'm not a slow drinker on beer) 

Because wine is most likely red, which symbolizes blood. And rich people like and come from blood ties

You do not have to be rich to appreciate or even enjoy good wine. You can make your own wine (and very good quality to boot) in the long run very inexpensively.

It's a fine hobby and not too difficult to master, however you may become a wino like myself.

As a fellow Dutchman I wholeheartedly agree with this post.

Light beer is indeed not a thing here fortunately, despite several attempts to introduce it (IMHO light beer is <> alcoholfree beer).

If I would be rich, I would only enjoy craft beer from smaller breweries (read: everything other than the big AAA-companies (like SAB-Miller-Anheuser-Bush-Inbev-whatever, or Heineken, etc.)-owned-stuff) more often than now, since over €2,- per 30cl bottle isn't really that cheap   



Wine can suck my cock... The 'rich/old-people-drink-wine' stigma is also getting out of fashion, since like I already mentioned: beer can get expensive too, especially when you step into barrel-aged territory...

Welllllll i do make Beer the odd time as well.

Also, drinking pinot noir makes men sexier. It's science.

Because they like wining (whining).
