Let's Get Real... with Wine! (No. 1)

As I indicated earlier, You Will Not Believe is now open for your questions about wine. I understand that the world of wine can be confusing and life-threatening; and so, I have decided to put my copious credentials in this area to good use.

To ask a question, you may either call YWNB by clicking the "Call Me" widget in the right column of this publication; or by posting your question to @mattlatmatt.

Our first question comes from @theguru42 from Twitter:

Well @theguru42, I'm about to save your life.

Matthew from McSweeney's Stained Teeth Column About Wine answers your wine questions.

Thanks for the response. I enjoy a Carlo Rossi Burgundy (now in a box) from a 20oz Nestle Water bottle, because I'm not exactly hiding anything and they have a lid that screws on. Burgundy was my first wine and I hated it, mostly because we were using it as a chaser for Skol Vodka. As for aluminum cans, I drink a lot of diet soda and I've found after the first sip there is plenty of room for adding a shot of Caliber Vodka or Rum which is less than $10.00 at Wal*mart for 1.75L.

However "Boozy" isn't really how I'd describe Moscato, Moscato D'asti or Riesling (the dessert wines that I enjoy). I think maybe you're under the impression that I'm big into Boones Farm, which has really changed their image over the years, but taste like a wine cooler. I'd hate to give you the wrong idea. I'm a cheap drinker who wanted the world to know that drinking doesn't always have to mean suffering through something ungodly.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pabst Blue Ribbon. FEH! The true lovers of cheap yet outstandingly hoppy beer have rallied, and, I am pleased to announce, WE HAVE MADE AN IMPACT on the cheap beer market! SCHLITZ is now available in BOTTLES for the first time in 40 years! With Dilligence, and, dare I say, PERSEVERANCE, we have emerged, victorious.

Honestly, though, I still like the satisfying crack of a pop top more than anything, excepting, of course, the puncture of a can lid with the drolly-named "church key".

Ah, Guru - Good Points All. You are correct, the dessert wines you enjoy should not be called Boozy. And the water bottle trick is a keeper.
