Is this good wine marketing? External proof and all, but saying a bottle is good for mulled wine is not exactly a compliment in some circles.

(This is a Regent based blend, btw. Decent daily sipper, esp. for east coast wine, though far from “perfect.”)

Wine people, I am curious: have you ever written “wineglass” or “wineglasses?” 🤔

I spoke to the historic foodways society of delaware valley this past weekend, and as a thank you gift, I got a STRESS HOAGIE! How great is this? 🤣

Ever seen a label like this before? Embossed print, attached to the bottle with rubber bands, and when removed has info in the back

I honestly don’t understand why this style of overstuffed cheesesteak is so popular right now. It’s virtually impossible to bite into, and there’s enough beef to feed 8 people. And don’t even get me started on the filling to bread ratio.

Frigidaire isn’t even trying to make this look like real food

This meme has been going around, and every time I see it, I think that if someone from #WineSky created it, the wine guy’s response would be “AHCTUALLY, that wine isn’t going to create the correct pairing.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I do truly feel that there’s something special about the script of Italian chalkboard menus. It would be cool if there was a font that approximated this… anyone ever seen one? 🤔

I would add that in the US at least it’s common at craft beer bars or breweries to make pairing suggestions on the menu

Can someone explain the sandwich uprising to me? I feel like I should be in the loop
