KENNEDY'S WINE REVIEW THREAD
For my future reference, I have decided to leave a short review of every wine I taste, which shalt be commented under this post.
Warning: I know nothing about wine and I only buy cheap stuff, so there's that

San Felipe Tinto: Acquired for five thousand pesos (around 3.5 USD); wouldn't buy again, way too acidic for me. Even at its low price point there's better stuff. I shalt admit I bought it because I like the bottle, which will be used to store grains.
40% Cabernet Sauvignon | 30% Merlot | 30% Malbec

Crotta Moscato: I like muscatel. I always liked muscatel. Nice and sweet. I like to serve it extremely cold as a refreshment during a hot summer day. Very good price point too, at 4 thousand pesos (around 2.8 USD) for 930ml. It's a dessert wine and it's good. I must mention that, prior to this wine, all the other muscatels I tried were lighter-colored, bright blonde; this one, however, is a very dark amber, a dark gold, which is one of the first things that caught my eye. It's a fortified wine, with an alcoholic content of 15.7%
Muscatel is pretty much how I started drinking wine: I stopped drinking soda, but one hot summer day I was craving something cold and slightly sweet.
Very good, would always keep in stock.

15Viñas de Alvear Tinto (Magnum): VERY inexpensive wine, with its magnum bottle (1.125 liters) costing 3 thousand pesos (around 2 USD). May be just me not knowing shit about wines, but it was good; I paid more for worse-tasting wines. Served during a barbecue. I liked it. Other people whom didn't know shit about wine also liked it. It's okay I guess.
San Felipe 12 Uvas (Twelve Grapes): TWELVE different grape varieties holy shit
This wine takes its name from the number of varieties of Vitis vinifera that are involved in the composition and, in addition, from the old Spanish custom of eating twelve grapes - one for each chime that announces the New Year.
Take note, I will not repeat it again: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, Bonarda, Sangiovese, Barbera d'Asti, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc.
I liked this one. San Felipe fucked up their red wine blend, but this twelve grapes blend is actually pretty good. Acquired for five thousand pesos (around 3.5 USD), would buy again.

Alma Mora Malbec: I bought this one a few months ago for like 7 thousand pesos (around 5 USD) (and, apparently, looking up prices online, I overpaid). This one is really solid for the price. Some of the previous entries on this list were okay, but you could tell they were on the lower end. This one is barely a jump upwards in terms of price range, but it's way better. Look I know nothing about wines so I cannot express why but it just is okay?
@ElDeadKennedy I actually like that you don't use the pretentious jargon that usually comes with wine reviews.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad I don't know what that jargon even means, I know nothing about wines
@ElDeadKennedy "this decanter of Fecal du Fru-Fru Fromage contains notes of SHIT because I'm a FECES-EATING FAG"
You would think if Wine tasted like shit Indians would buy that shit off the shelves.
@Dudebro @ElDeadKennedy pajeets usually pretend to be British, not French. sophisticated Indians drink cow piss
This entirely explains ipa popularity
@Dudebro @ElDeadKennedy I don't drink alcohol at all, so I only know what I read. and rumor says that IPA is usually disgusting piss, so have an upvote!
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @Dudebro @ElDeadKennedy ipas smell and taste like weed so potheads tend to like them.
Everyone else finds them contemptible and disgusting
