Beer.

[Óttar]

Whisky is good with a cigar and good company, but I prefer wine (esp. Brut champagne) for regular consumption. On the rare occasions that I drink, that is.

Beer.

Beer.

Beer and whiskey are similar I would put them in the same category since they are both grain alcohol.

prefer whiskey but beer is always my favorite.

They're both family and I'm not gonna tear my family apart picking one over another. Not during the holidays.

Whiskey, I rarely drink wine.Chivas is my preference.

[NSXD60]

Neither, milder headaches with wodka.

As Tooting Carmen says: "both in equal measure".

The chad Irish whiskey vs the virgin continental wine. Irish and Scots do whiskey best. I personally can't stand Canadian whiskey (shit taste like charcoal) and American whiskey just doesn't have that great of a flavor profile most of the time.

Wine always gives me a hangover. I don't get that with whiskey. :) Must be in the genes.

Wine gives me the dirty feeling angry drunk that people say tequila gives them; just an all around unenjoyable experience to me. I don't even particularly like brandy, same thing; but brandy is essentially just concentrated wine so it makes sense. The chemistry of whiskey is made for British people.

I think that goes for a lot of people due to high sugar content in grapes. It's also important not to buy cheap wine which is a guaranteed hangover. I think wine drink requires a certain finesse compared to other alcohols.

[Daco Celtic]

Since nobody here likes wine, feel free to send me your most expensive wine bottles.

See my reply above.

[Daco Celtic]

Most likely, it reminds me of hangovers from college. I fear that cheap wines are what shape peoples opinion. People should spurge on a good wine once in a while.

I very rarely drink wine and only white wine at that. I much prefer spirits. Whiskey is my favourite.

Not in Boston though? :)

They drink a lot of wine here also. It would be much more common to drink wine than whiskey. Climate might have something to do with it. In colder climates whiskey puts a fire in your belly. There are a lot of Italians in Australia as well and they prefer the vino. There are some great Australian wines though and wine is very cheap here. Not so with whiskey which is relatively expensive.

It's the best but hard to get unless you have a hookup or know how to make it yourself.

[Daco Celtic]

It's essentially moonshine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1linka

Like you, the people in Boston are true Irish but the coastal living British Isles people in California (including some Irish unfortunately) have sold out to the red wine agenda. In all seriousness, I'm very impressed by certain Australian reds. You actually produce some excellent wine for great prices. Perhaps the best value in all of wine along with maybe Argentina.

[Creoda]

Don't love any alcohol, but I never drink Whiskey. It's not for me.

[oszkar07]

Its delicious Hungarian Brandy , made from fruits often Pears,Apricot or Plum.

Daco is right its hard to get especially here in Oz unless you buy it off moonshiners in the Community or imported.

[oszkar07]

True, but last time I was in L.A I managed to buy some Romanian Palinka from Jon's shopping centre in Glendale.

[Daco Celtic]

I might have to drive down for that. I was gonna say they make legal forms of both Palinka or Tuica (similar Romanian brandy) but the alcohol content is much lower than the "good stuff" right? I mean the range can be like 30%-80% or something crazy like that.

Yes I think the commercial ones are much lower in alcohol content .
The moonshine stuff Ive tried has usually always been better.

[Graham]

Nobody call me a traitor, but I prefer red wine to Whisky.

[KirillMazur]

I personally hate grape alcohol.
In my opinion, grape alcohol has a non-R1a (and especially non-N1c:)) nature. That is why our family, even being a native of Crimea and southern Russia, never liked wine (and cognac to some extent) because of a severe hangover and headache in the morning.
Now my father and I believe that from spirits it is best to drink vodka (a pure product, minimal side effects, compatible with almost any food) and whiskey (made from grains, a weak hangover, there is no vanilla smell like in cognac). Any fruit distillate is poorly tolerated by me. Of the light drinks, beer or cider is best for me.

[FountainOfSalmacis]

My favorite distilled types of alcohol are rum and whiskey. And I have always prefered Beer over Wine.

[Jana]

Whiskey. I don't like wine at all.

[Hithaeglir]

Wine over the two.

But what I really like are trappist ales, milk stouts and IPA's.

[Terminator98]

[Jankec]

Wine.

[Perunovsin]

Honey Wine (mead), and japanese whiskey

[CordedWhelp]

Whiskey, please.

[gixajo]

Wine or Whisky?

Wine.(In that sense I have tastes considered feminine, I prefer a rosé and white wines over red wines, with exceptions)

Wine or beer?

Beer. But more than for the flavor itself, because it has less alcohol.

I rarely drink alcohol.(but I have drunk a lot in other times)

Red wine hangovers are some of the worst there can be, that´s true.

But my worst experience with alcohol was undoubtedly because of the whiskey, a bad quality whisky, but whisky.

Telling that the hangover produced by the wine is due to the grape sugar is something absurd, because the sugar present in grapes are fructose and glucose, that during the distillation become alcohol (ethanol) and CO2.

The tiny amount of non-fermentable sugars, basically pentoses, that could remain in some wines is around 1g/litre.

I don't know too much about whiskey or beer making to draw any conclusions about what is better or worse in that regard.

I think there are so many different wines with so many variations that I find it curious that there are people who have not found a wine that they like.

Maybe is something cultural, or simply that I do not know about the world of whiskey either, but I have the impression that whiskey is more homogeneous in terms of flavors and variations.

Sorry for the long post and unnecessary disgression about the topic.:picard1:

[Tannhauser]

I don't get why the dichotomy.;)

[luc2112]

Wine is common here in southern Brazil due to the Italians. Settler/colonial wine

I have never had a good drunk on wine, it always feels dirty and shitty.

Wine is the worst drunk by far, ur not even supposed to get drunk on wine honestly. if I want to get drunk ill get some rum or beer

[Axios]

Rum & Beer. I consider wine as a very soft drink at the same level as juice (thats what basically it is tho) even if it has alcohol.

Personal favourite:

Honourable mention to Flor de caña, very expensive tho.

[Malagueña]

I just don't get the point of wine, it's just bitter and not "fruity" at all even the ones who say they really are. I guess it's a matter of getting used to it, like beer
Also, I've never drinked whisky on its own, always mixed with coke :rotfl
But basically, when it comes to alcohol I mostly prefer distilled rather than brewed

I don’t drink as much anymore but Rum or Jack & Coke was my go to.
I never drank whiskey straight and wine has never been my favorite

[calxpal]

Wine :biggrin::icon_cheers::drink2:

[Mortimer]

I go against the mainstream and have to say wine. I consume wine more often, and for regular consumption like a little wine here and there, but whiskey only on certain ocasssions, and very few and very rare but it doesnt mean I do not like it. But wine is my regular drink.

Here is me before the corona lockdown of gastronomy with a whiskey and cigar

I don't agree. Wine tastes fruity. Red wine usually tastes like berries and whites like citrus, rarely apples etc. It depends of type and production process.

[Aldaris]

I have some whiskey in my basement. Thanks for the idea, pal.

[michal3141]

Wine in small amount as addition to the meal.
Whiskey better for a melancholic evening.
Still nothing can beat 3-6 beers :)

Red wine is the best alcohol drink by far. Sometimes i drink whiskey with cola but wine is better.

Wine is not a soft drink wtf, i can show such house wine if you drink 0,5 liter you will not know who you are or where you are.

I meant taste wise. Im used to strong shots or strong what we call here "cubatas" (a mix of alcohol and juice/soda etc). Of course alcohol wise is not a soft drink.

[Tannhauser]

Are you kidding??? Ofc you are, I dont drink a boxed wine since my last year of high School.

Actually I find very hard to get a hang over with wine. Wine Is the most noble drink and i mean red wine (White wine, i m sorry but is for pussies).

[Salty Ears]

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.

Whisky, partying, if any.

Whiskey all the way... Bourbon, specifically. Jim Beam, more specifically. But I'm partial to 15-year-old Glenfiddich or Glenlivet as well.

[Barba]

I'm more of a whiskey guy. Good old bourbon

[Victor]

Wine for sure, red dry one, and berry/fruit spirits, too, not from cereals.

[Victor]

Don't drink hard liquor.

I drink beer when I'm out and drink wine at home.

Drink quality and tasty hard spirits as aperitif before the meal, up to 100 ml and it will be okay.

[Todesritter]

Wine, ideally red. The milder, less heavy flavours of white wine don't appeal to me. Else, beer while grilling outside.
I don't drink liquors, spirits, distillates or any alcohol over approx 30%, the alcohol overpowers the actual taste and makes the entire experience moot; I've tasted plenty of rum, whiskey, and spirits people claimed were delicious, but to me they all taste predominantly like their alcohol content and nothing else. I don't care about getting drunk.
