I am firmly of the opinion that all varieties of wine are produced exclusively for female consumption. Whenever I see a bloke drinking wine I have an irresistible urge to go up to him and put a little ribbon in his hair.
Where do you stand on the great Wine Is For Girls debate?

I don't drink wine, mainly because I never developed the test for it.
I think there is a level of sophistication when a man drinks wine, not like us commoners.
I stand firmly in the position that says wine is for everybody.
I love wine. I'll be opening one shortly.
Tell that to Oz Clarke. 
Wine is wine is wine ...
As a matter of interest where do you stand on the women drinking beer issue?
Or are you Al Murray? 
Prom, what would you class a man drinking Southern Comfort as?

Careful. Could be a bit near the knuckle there... 
I like wine and equally a pint of lager...drink what you enjoy, that's my motto

Haha! good question Cariad! and I wonder where he stands on women drinking pints too

For me, if its out of a dainty looking bottle than its no bother, if its out of a pint glass
It's a shame when somebody says "I don't like wine - I tasted it once and don't like it."
They are assuming that all wine tastes the same.
Some inverted snobs say they don't like champagne, not realising that there is a vast array of different champagnes.
I couldn't care less what anyone else drinks... so long as I have wine
Brisket, every so often I will try wine but I never enjoy it. Dunno why, i'm not a huge drinker as it is, only when I got out (on the razz) will a dabble in a tipple or two.

Rawky if you were up north you'd get used to it
i dont know any of my male friends my age that drink wine, but i often see men in their forties fifties drinking wine, its not a bad thing in my opinion. we all drink what we enjoy dont we.

You're not are you, Rawky? 
I got alcohol poisoning after drinking straight triples of it in a drinking competition years ago. I can still taste the stuff now even though I have never touched it since. 
Waheyyyyyyyyyy

Bloody hell!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a bit late isn't it? ' my husband and I (aided by DIL earlier) are on bottle number three). Why is wine considered iffeminate? Me and the OH love a bottle or two and................................he doesn't have a beer belly.

What do you expect after drinking straight triples you crazy mare?!!
I do enjoy my Southern Comfort
If anyone tried to put a ribbon on my wine-drinking father's head, he'd knock them the feck out

I did for ages too, but it's EVIL I tell you. EEEVVIIILLLLL!!1!!!!
The drinking competition was my own fault. Was with a bunch of (then) work colleagues and said I could drink any of them under the table (even though they were hardcore pub blokes but I just HAD to beat them and there was fifty quid in it for the winner). I did just to prove a point but my God I paid for it. I didn't move for 4 days
lol this seems to be a bit of a sensitive issue. I only posted this a few minutes ago and you've all gone radio!
Cariad women who drink beer are fine with me as long as they also support Chelsea!
Rawky: Southern Comfort is a big no-no, real men drink Tequila Slammers in great number and rarely live to tell the tale.

I have been "training up" a work colleague/friend for the last couple of years. She started out just liking really sweet white wine (Liebfraumilch/Lambrusco) - we're now onto dry whites and hopefully we'll move onto reds within the next 12 months. She'll always be a cider girl though really...
Many years back I went to a dinner party and the hostess proudly showed me a bottle of wine she'd bought especially for me as she knew I was partial to red wine - it was Lambrusco Rosso.
Back on the subject of men and wine - the two biggest wine connoisseurs I know are both male. One is an old friend, the other the husband of a work colleague who is the wine/food critic for a newspaper. Both are the least girly blokes I know...
I quite like a glass of sherry.

What's that drink (spirit) that you set fire to before you drink it? They're lethal as well (well, after about 6 or 7) - same with the slammers.
Reading this I think my problem might have been moderation? As in not enough of it? (just a wild guess)

YES!!!
Nothing like it in the summer.

Exactly!!!!!!!!
Most of the men in my sociaL circle although enjoying a beer or two down the pub much prefer a glass bottle or two or three of wine. Personally I can't think of anything more horrible than guzzling pint after pint of fizzy alcohol. A lovely wine is soooooooooooooooooo much more preferable IMO.
