tokaji aszu is one of my favourite wines, some of the best wines in the world are sweet or at least off-dry

theres nothing worse than people who dont know shit about something but have ignorant prejudices about it
this is a good example, when someone realises 'the chablis and the chardonnay grapes were one and the same', a nonsensical sentence but a good example of cognitive dissonance caused when received ideas about 'prestige' products and 'common' ones come into conflict
im quite fond of the pensioners' favourite harveys bristol cream which is cheap sweetened mostly oloroso sherry, would rather drink that than 90% of table wine with an rrp of less than £10

bristol cream is a fine drink & its cheapness is only part of the charm
