I drink wine out of a rust-covered bucket.

You are beyond cool. Respect.

Mason jars, people.

I used to really like the look of mason jars. but not that everyone else is using them, I'm starting to think they look tacky.

I guess that makes me the douchiest of all hipsterdom, but I can't help it.

I drink wine straight from the bottle. That's how it's done, you know.

Mason jars, people.

I was given a set of red-neck wine glasses this past Christmas (it was a joke gift). I really kind of like them even though they are completely craft-show kitsch.

I'd tell you what I drink wine out of, but you wouldn't even know the term, it's too obscure.

I must say I prefer stemware. I have motor skills problems, and there is no way I can hold a tumbler when drunk, and I have really small hands, easier to hold a stem. I have problems holding wide glasses.

 

[yally]

My biggest problem with wine glasses is I have a habit of smashing them into the tap when I'm washing up. They don't last long in my house. Tumblers are safer.

 

[Freesia]

I think tumblers would be ok for most people, it is just me. I have a habit of dropping glasses. I would actually rather drink wine out of a mug than a tumbler, I need a handle. And it is easy for me to close my fist around a stem. Though stem glasses have a problem of being knocked over on tables. Perhaps we should just all use mugs and teacups.

And the bottle is wrapped in a brown paper bag still right?

Mason jars, people.

This is what we do! It's so classy drinking G&Ts out of pint jars.

That is actually what I do most of the time. I have accidentally smashed so many wine glasses.

I'm reminded of the scene in Se7en where Brad Pitt serves Morgan Freeman some red win in a regular-*** glass.

I tried to take a screenshot of the scene to share, but all I get is this:

I don't think stemware is going to go away. There's a reason for it, after all - wine connoisseurs drink their wines at pretty specific temperatures, and stemware was invented to avoid changing the wine's temperature through heat transference from your hand. Besides that, there's no comparison in the elegance of a formally set table with stemware versus without.

Retailers are good at creating fads to sell products. It's the nature of a fad to be replaced by a new one at short intervals.

I dont drink wine : ( I always think water tastes funny drunk out of a mug though

 

[Envy]

I drink Everclear out of mason jars.

Now that's hardcore!

 

[RabbitLuvr]

I'm about to ditch my regular drinking glasses and just use my stemless wine glasses for everything. I like the way they look, and fewer glasses in the cabinet.

Stemware is just too fragile for clumsy me. I don't even know how many wine glasses I've broken the stem on while washing, or glasses I've tipped over while reaching for them. Stemless are much safer for me; I've never broken or tipped over a stemless wine glass.

My unpopular opinion:
I completely reject the notion that specific foods should be eaten at specific times. Cold cereal for dinner? Chili for breakfast? Sure! I see no reason why not.

 

[Blobbenstein]

I've had curry for breakfast, and cornflakes for supper, in the past.....it's ok by me.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I generally can't face cereal or porridge in the morning although sometimes I crave it at other times of the day. When I lived at my Mum's we often had a bowl of cornflakes as an after dinner snack while we were watching TV.

If I order a takeaway pizza I put some of the slices in the fridge for the next day as cold pizza for breakfast is delicious.
