I enjoy good beers and I am with you there. Better to have one really
good beer than a lot of the crappy brand names. When it comes to wines,
I appreciate the better wines. I don't bother with cheap plonk, though
there are some decent cheap slurping wines, few and far between, but
there are some. I appreciate that there are some characteristics to the
really expensive wines, but my palate is not developed enough to justify
huge prices.

My brothers are beer drinkers, preferring quantity over quality. The
tease me about drinking yuppie beers. They spend a lot more on beer than
I do.
