So I've been hearing this rumor that screw top wine is going to be the new norm in wines...
Um excuse me.. I don't know about you, but to me - nothing screams cheap or "kindly escort me to the water chamber so that I may continually worship the porcelain god" louder than screw top wine. Especially screw top red wine!
I mean, screw top wine was fine when I was a rebellious teenager and it was incredibly naughty and wild to share a bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Blossom wine, or even the dreaded and terrible Thunderbird. Talk about a projectile vomiting incident. Sheesh! At least we had an excuse to purchase cheap wine - all we could scrape together was $5 or $6 dollars between the lot of us.
Now you may call me a wine-o. I call me mom. Touch my red and I will hit you over the head with the empty bottle! They don't call it Mommy Juice for nothing.
There is a natural progression in wine taste - cheap screw top (teens), jug wine (20's), box wine (20/30's), White Zinfandel (20/30's) & then the foray into reds - usually beginning with Merlot then tip toeing through to the next red. I know that I'm being a little general here - but I've lived it & see it. I actually think it's very funny. Especially knowing that my very good, sweet and wonderful friend is still currently emptying a box of wine left behind by her 20'something cousin. :) Seriously, am I not on the right track??
I don't care what the "trend" says. I don't care what the guy at the liquor store says. I will avoid the screw top wines like the plague & enjoy my lovely Tuscan Mountain wines, which are corked. 'But that's just me...
Thank you for reading my blog!!

Love it Jen. But I would'n mine buying a bottle of Thunderbird red wine again just to get that so call of taste of what they call Red Wine.
