Ooooh! Get you! I drink mine from hand carved wooden tea cups. All my crockery is wooden.
Do you sniff, swirl and spit before you drink it?

I always sniff wine to savour the aroma.
I don’t swill it around my mouth!
I like a wine glass with a long stem and l hold it at the stem.
I am sounding a right nightmare aren’t l? But l like what l like!!

Can you define the different spices, floral accents, and fruity aftertaste that hits the back of the throat just so?

Depending on the wine variety, l can usually taste chocolate, vanilla and berries in red wine.

Goodness no, I warm the wine with a little swirl in my hand, a deep sniff right back into my nose followed by an enormous gulp 
I am a bit of a glugger

I would probably serve a Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec with Steak (not that I ever eat steak but I like both those types of red wine)
Another full bodied red I sometimes serve with strong flavoured meats is Barolo, from Northern Italy - it also pairs well with the earthy flavours of Wild Mushrooms and Truffles in a risotto or pasta dish.
I also enjoy Spanish Reds, such as a Tempranillo Rioja.
There is so many low-cost but good quality, easy drinking Spanish Reds available now - that’s what I usually choose, unless I’m pushing the boat out for a special occasion.

I think the first red wine l ever tasted in the early 1970’s, was called Bulls Blood.
I don’t know if it still exists?

On a loosely related subject…when was the last time any of you made a booze cruise trip to eg Calais? Friend of ours used to make one once per year from Newcastle upon Tyne and ran at a bit of a profit compared to buying booze in UK.

As I only have a small amount with my evening meals I love using a champagne flute 
but for anything more, yes, a proper wine glass 
Btw have you ever noticed how if you’ve left a little bit of (good quality) wine in the glass overnight and then smell it the day after it smells intensely floral? The stronger/better it smells the better quality I find it is! (I think it could be something to do with the brix levels of the grapes used)

I worry more about the red colour of the empty glass and wonder what my insides look like!!

I’m going to be really smug here and say that I always rinse out my cups after drinking some wine.

The only thing I know about wine is that it’s red, white,or rose, and you can get it sparkling, I like wine but rarely drink it, it goes straight to my head and end up wanting to sleep…
