Always insist on wine made with grapes.

It will impress the hell out of your date that you are so James Bond like sophisticated, and the waiter will give you a slight head nod on your good taste in overlooking the otherwise attractive 99 cent peach wine.

When they serve a little taste of the wine after they open the bottle, resist the temptation to grab the waiter by the neck and say "What's with the cheap pour ass clown - you think I'm a homo who can't hold my liquor!!" Not to worry. That is just a "wine testing" ritual for you to impress the date. Swish some of the wine around in your mouth, and then swallow. Tell the waiter, "Ah....made with grapes I see."

Also, when possible, ask to smell the cap. And maybe get a couple straws.

Also, when at a fancy restaurant, be sure to specify that you would like the freshest wine available. Many times they will try to pass off old wine that has been sitting in a musty cellar for years. Be especially cautious in French restaurants. Those frogs are so filthy the let snails get into the food!

What YOU like ought to be your guide.

I'm a wine snot, but if you like beer (and I don't consider anything with light in the name beer) with your food why waste your money? Go with what you like and let snots like me laugh knowing that you're strong enough to go with what tastes good to you.

It's all about enjoying the ride.
