They spit the wine out because they're not trying to get irrevocably shithammered drunk, which seems like a waste to me but that's the reason. The idea is that you're going to be sipping dozens of wines with cheeses and even if you're only getting a sip each you're going to end up drinking more than a bottle strait to your head so rather than just gulp it all down you spit it out so you can try a lot more combinations and without destroying yourself.

[@TheNamesDust]

Yeah drinking 30-40 glasses of wine simply isn’t healthy for anyone.

I worked at this place in Oregon that was basically a "wine tasting restaurant". You paid a flat rate of $150 a person, and it included an appetizer, dinner, dessert, and 8 full burgundy glasses of any wine of your choosing. All I did was wash glasses all day. The was a separate dishwasher for everything else.

My Dad works in the business of sparkling wine and Champagne, One of his favorite passtimes is organizing blind champagne tests, with bottles from 10 to 200$, just to show how almost noone ever chooses the expensive one as their favourite, in fact, most award winners in the blind tests are under 50$ 🤣

[@_Trash_Goblin]

Honestly, this will probably remain one of my favourite "last thoughts" in a video. Just a bit of perspective and positivity about the whole thing. As annoying or funny as it can be, it's ultimately a harmless hobby on par with the others mentioned. Let people have their fun.

[@UrLeingod]

I'm all for letting people enjoy their hobbies, it's when they talk down to people over it that gets me pissed. The reason nobody shits on stuff like model trains the same way is that model train guys don't act like their hobby makes them better, smarter people than you, which is what the stereotypical "wine snob" is doing that everybody hates them for.

[@_Trash_Goblin]

@@UrLeingod That's an obvious exception. At the same time, however, you can just choose to not associate with those people. If they're your friend you can talk with them and get them to understand that they sound like a doofus - if not, they probably weren't that good of a friend in the first place.

[@MouseGoat]

yeah its easy taking a shit on others hobbys, but Internet Historian is a chad for wraping his content up with pointing a finger back at the viewer and reminding us all that in the end of the day we all freaking weird.

[@riccardocastiglioni1611]

2 fun facts from Italy about wine: - If you are in Italy near Chieti (A province in Abruzzo) stop by Ortona: there is a fountain from which spills free red wine all year round (I went there once, the wine was actually really good); there are other wine fountains in Italy, but they are only available during certain events. - There is a legend of a ghost living in the cellars of the Castle of Montevecchio, in Tuscany; he was the owner of the castle, a passionate winemaker, and supposedly he inspects the quality of the wine in the cellars and the vineyards of the area.

[@avroarchitect1793]

I now have another reason to visit Ortona if I ever go to Italy. I did not know about the wine fountain.

[@bondfall0072]

On the second fact, didn't Dream Theater make a song about the guy in Tuscany?

[@lincolnross9000]

My brother and his wife visited an Italian restaurant on their honeymoon. They were expecting an Olive Garden kind of situation, but it was a five star restaurant that this Italian grandma ran out of a building that used to be a house. They showed up in jeans and band shirts and everyone else was in tuxedos and evening gowns. We joke now that everyone must have thought they were loaded lol.

[@GunthersLoyalSoldier1307]

That cog in the knee joke hits home for me cause a friend of mine had to have cogs in his knees because he fell out a window. He’s alright but he hates the knee gears.

[@benito1620]

Lmao

[@danzansandeev6033]

15:20 yes but food “markup” is because the chef cooked said food, presented it and made it taste good. But with the wine they just bought the bottle and opened it. So it doesn’t really compare

[@castform57]

Customer being all "mayhaps I find a hint of citrus, perchance a metallic tone, like a breeze of dirt in the wind". Meanwhile Alicia holding the bottle, "yeah sure, whatever you say man".

[@PearseNation]

The concept of a “corking fee” is hilarious to me.

[@Douce1337]

I mean it makes sense to me, cause like it's kind of rude to bring in your own food or drink anyways, but if you have a SUPER expensive or special bottle you brought to open, the restaurant will allow it, but it's not gonna drive into their business for allowing it.

[@lenny_has_arived6679]

Hey Alicia. 2023 has been a hell of a year hasn’t it. I am so happy that I discovered your channels so many months ago. Went from having never even heard of you to you being my favorite content creator in such a short time. Happy new year

[@xORyuuOx]

Fun fact: Moxxie during the Ozzie's episode holds a wine glass correctly by the stem, which shows how he really knows his stuff.

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

Crimson probably taught him fancy table manners so he could both intimidate other mafia dons and/or blend in well doing sit downs and negotiations.

[@Saeryfim]

45:26 Alicia, you just have to steer him toward being a Warhammer models dude instead of a train dude. Much cooler attention to detail, and you can paint Slaaneshi stuff with him then! Oh, also Skaven! And 47:05 "Necrophiles", sit back and crack open a cold one! And they even keep the wine right there for easy access!

Not related to wine, but to dining (look, I just need a place to put this where other people might feel the same way): My dad doesn't work fine dining, he's lead manager at a Seattle pizza place, but he and his boss treat it like and emulate fine dining to enhance the customer experience. My dad has worked at this place since it was a local chain with like 10 locations all run by the same guy throughout the Seattle metro area, and he delivered for the one in the shitty ghettos of south Everett back then. It was still treated by the community as a fine dining establishment, mainly because the price/quality ratio was high yet respectable, but also because the previous owner put the business in debt to make it look like you were sitting in some Seattle lounge. When the guy sold all his locations to eager managers who wanted to run their own pizza places, they realized he sold them his debts and all rebranded separately from one another to avoid them (you can tell they were all once the same chain because literally they all have the same stereotypical Italian dude mascot on the logo). The one I grew up in (that was bought by family friends who cut dad out of the deal) moved out of its fancy building only a few years after the second floor was added and became a hole-in-the-wall next to the 7/11. The original chef left, and the food quality dipped. My dad left for one of the two Seattle locations that was bought by his current boss, and that place has kept the spirit alive. It isn't "fine dining" large by any means - it looks like a small, hole-in-the-wall eatery as soon as you walk in - but it's bigger than you would expect, having 2 banquet rooms and 2 primary dining areas. Boss man even set up a game room with free video games and table hockey for the kids (man's got a Playstation in there, he's really trying). My dad has taken to watering the plants, so they suddenly started overgrowing their pots and looking actually respectable. The only real downside is that people with fragile egos, such as dad, let the "fine dining" atmosphere go to their head and suddenly they act like they're hot shit because they "work for a multi-million dollar dining establishment". Dude, you manage a pizza place that a man living in a $2 mil waterfront property is only just above breaking even on by overworking and criminally underpaying you and the rest of your employees. You make $19/hour without tips. When your income can move us out of this rv and buy a modest home, I'll change my stance. But functioning like fine dining and actually being fine dining are not the same thing. People who work true fine dining can comfortably afford an apartment in Seattle.

[@Malva597]

Everyone like "ooh I want to work fine dining now." Alicia: "Fine dining? A FINE FUCKING MESS!!"

[@drthmik]

Fun Fact "The customer is always right." is NOT the full quote the *FULL* quote is: "In matters of taste, the customer is always right." As such, it does _NOT_ mean that every fool thing they say is correct and should be obeyed without question it means that if the customer wants warm white wine, you cannot say they are WRONG to want that, even is chilled is normally how it is served Likewise, if the customer wants it chilled, and you serve it chilled, it isn't YOUR responsibility to keep it that way after the sale. THEY own the wine now, so what they do with it is up to them however, a restaurant may have marked up the price enough to want to keep the rich fool happy thinking they are getting one over on them by getting more wine for "free" by getting it warm and asking for more

[@alexanderdelongchamps7594]

It took the french 8 years to think of thicker bottles and they couldn't even figure it out on their own. This is why we need a cure for Frenchness.

[@CoolCatDoingAKickflip]

13:45 If water works with any food, then flavored water works as well. Wine is just flavored water at its core, so it pairs. The same goes for any other drink, beer with steak, wine with steak, water with steak, Mountain dew with steak. It's all based on how you view the pairing, does it fit for your taste? If you like both, then they will pair great, so if you like to eat steak and drink milk then they will go hand in hand.

[@pugghe5809]

Something interesting to watch that's somewhat related, "The Austrian Wine Poisoning | Down the Rabbit Hole" by Fredrik Knudsen. Like the guy's videos, and that's one of my favorites.

Happy New Year! It’s been great finding your content! 🎆

[@blueishgreen76]

39:44 Something that IH doesn't convey well: In a restaurant where they present the bottle to you before opening and then pour a small amount to taste, the point is only for you to verify it is the bottle you ordered before they open it, and to check that the wine has not gone off. Unless one of those things is an issue, the only polite thing to do is quickly nod and let the server get on with their job of serving.

[@ThorirPP]

Reminds me when our family went to a restaurant once and the wine ordered tasted really funky or something. After my brother (who tasted) commented the waiter tried it too, agreed, and then brought out that weird decanter bottle thingy to let it breathe more or something (I don't drink wine, I don't actually know anything the science behind this, just remember what happened). Afterwards it tasted better and the waiter then served from it It wasn't really a fancy restaurant, nor was it really expensive wine, but it shows that tasting it beforehand to check if the wine is ok can indeed be important I feel

Wine drinking is super easy. First find a type of wine you like. Then give yourself a price range. Say…10-20 bucks. Then go to the store and you look at labels until you find one that you like and buy it. Easy peasy. I found a lot of good bottles that way. The swishing, the special glasses for different types of wine, only drinking a certain winewith fish….Its all bullshit.

[@Toastybees]

[@apollohateshisdayjob9606]

I work in a liquor store and have done several wine tastings, so probably tried about 60-700 different wines this past year, and I've also been practicing homebrewing wine. I overall agree with most of his comments about the best value being about $20-30, though there are some exceptions. In particular the Sauternes tend to be pricier being 20-30 for a Half sized bottle, but they are one of the best dessert wines I have ever tasted! Specifically "Chateau Doisy Vedrines Sauternes 2018" It was the last of a 12 wine tasting we did, and all the rest I thought were varying degrees of average wine, but when I tasted that I actually exclaimed "Holy Shit!! What is this, this is amazing!"

When you swirl the glass then you are determining the viscosity (aka legs) or how much sugar is in it. If it looks like syrup then it is going to be a sweet one. If the wine falls like water then it is going to be dry (aka not sweet) and high alcohol content in general.
