Having a Whine (About Wine) EITHER/OR DECISION MADNESS
So I’m drinking a wine from Australia at the moment which has bubbles in it.
Do I say I’m drinking a “sparkling white wine” because it’s technically correct and so that people don’t think I’m uncultured? But then run the risk that people will get confused or think that I’m too wanky.
OR
Do I say that I’m drinking “champagne” because people will know what I’m drinking, even though it’s not technically true, but also run the risk that people who know about wine will think I’m uncultured?
This really is the decision that will shape my weekend….

Or do you say 'bubbly' and run the risk of sounding like a middle aged woman who is desperately trying to hold onto the last vestiges of her youth?
I see your dilemma.
Oh crap! I didn't even think of that.
*stresses*
sparkling white all the way
I always just call it by the brand name of the wine. I'm drinking Moet, for example. Means you can't buy really cheap nasty stuff though, or everyone thinks you're a wanker!!
And you can't buy expensive stuff or you attract gold diggers.
