Whiskey or Wine?

[Victor]

Strange topic. Its better to comparing whiskey with brandy and beer with wine. I prefer beer and wine to whiskey and brandy, and grappa, rakia, grape vodka to middle price brandy, prefer good grain moonshine/samogon to middle price whiskey.

Very nice detailed explanation, similar to mine except for beer.

Whiskey is gross.

[Your Old Comrade]

Whisky.

I changed over the years. Must have mellowed a bit. These days, I prefer wine.

[calxpal]

Wine

[CordedWhelp]

Whiskey...but sometimes wine. Going to crack open a Riesling shortly..

[~Elizabeth~]

I've tried wine and I don't like it. I never tried whiskey.

Between those two, I choose wine. But I'd rather have beer!

[Rogan]

Wine. I like both, red and white

Whiskey or Wine?

The question itself is wrong.

How can you compare one Alcoholic beverage such as Whiskey which is a spirit that generally has an alcohol content of at least 40 % Alcohol.

Then you have Wine which in general has an Alcohol content usually not more than 20 %.

Wine by itself is very diverse with all the different varieties and obviously in general most individuals in a drinking session can consume more wine
than they could compared to drinking the same amount of Whiskey.

I like both Whiskey and Wine, but they are 2 different things.

In general I will drink more Wine than I will Whiskey for obvious reasons, eg if I drink 4 large glasses of Wine with a nice dinner I will be just smiling nicely.
If I drank the same amount of Whiskey with a nice meal I will be pretty much drunk and probably the next day have a hangover.

Also usually Wine is cheaper than Whiskey in general, even though i dont drink very cheap wines its still usually cheaper than a good Whiskey,

So again these are 2 different drinks that i approach differently depending the occasion.

If I compare Wine and Beer, for me Im more likely to drink Wine in company of close family having a nice meal.

Im more likely to drink beer with friends particuliarly male friends and even in the case of friends visiting for lunch or dinner i will probably drink beer.

If Im drinking alone , Im less likely to drink beer but more likely to drink Wine or Whiskey or Vodka, and if my Uncle is visiting
then most definitely Palinka.

Red dry and semi dry wine, for sure, uber alles.
