Watering down wine

Spritzer.

When I read the Golden Ass there was that bit where she would mix him goblets of wine with warm water and then snatch the goblet away from him while he drank and drain the rest herself. I thought it was kind of sexy so I tried to act it out with an imaginary parter while masturbating.

It's not that nice. Just tastes like watered down wine, oddly enough.

This is why people hate America.

I just Googled that, I guess this was a thing already and I'm just late to the party. Don't those use club soda though? I use club soda with my brandy for a brandy and soda, but I just used water this time. Is club soda tastier with the wine?

I thought it really improved the flavor, but maybe just the wine being watered down was enough for my bitch ass to like it.

It's not a thing here, at least where I've been. Can't knock someone for trying to discover new stuff.

I've seen people drink wine with ice.

I've only ever seen chilled wine myself, though to be fair virtually no one I've ever known drank wine. Most opted for beer or some sort of hard liquor.

This was a thing in ancient Greece because ancient wine was terrible.

If you're getting sulfur smell you can air out the wine a bit. Serving it at below room temperature, and not buying shit quality wine also helps.

yes, this, totally sounds like a /ck/ thing.

The Greeks also drank diluted vinegar on hot summer days, too. That doesn't mean it's a good drink.

The "notes of fruit" are usually found on young wines, not watered down industrial port.

Tell me more?

Here's another trick the ancients used to make wine more palatable: when making the wine, boil the grape must in a lead vessel, this will add a little sweetness to your wine. Give it a try OP!

there's not enough alcohol to sanitize the water, and they just didn't want to get drunk all the time.

you should try looking for wines with lower alcohol percentages, i've seen some that go down to 5% or so. maybe you'll like those more.

Always, unless it's spectacularly tasty.

Except at a big dinner, I will have it straight.

example: Easter dinner, 30+ people, big to do. I grab a cup of ice and fill it with wine and seltzer and drink like that until dinner. Then I have a glass of wine while I eat. then back to iced wine until later, when the men switch to liquor and everyone gets hammered

A friend of mine introduced me to adding a few splashes of lemon-lime soda to cheap white wine e.g. the kind that comes in large jugs or boxes. You want to add enough that it makes it nicer to drink but not enough that you can tell it's been heavily adulterated.

He learned that from the kids in France who do that during parties.
