    The wine bottle that's the most communist is the one you empty with your comrades. Everything else is commodity fetishism.

    The one on the right, you think a communist could afford a chateau? And the middle one is named after some guy and we don't believe in great man theory in this household

      is it nitrates or sulfates that are in wine and fuck you up? I know both can give me cancer, but can’t remember which is from spicy grape juice and which is from burnt animal corpses (I don’t eat meat)

        It’s actually histamine, not sulfite that’s usually the cause of red wine headaches. White wines tends to have higher sulfite levels than red, but are low in histamine.

          yeah, this. i think barrique-heavy wines have more histamine, so that would explain the migraines from the aged stuff. in cheap wines, these are added by putting oak chips in the cask so you get an immitation of that flavor without having to age the wine for years.

        I'm not actually sure, I can drink European wine and more expensive American wine but the cheap stuff and the aged stuff immediately gives me a migraine, I think it must be either sulfites or maybe fertilizer/herbicides used on the grapes? No idea

          I think it’s the sulfites that get added, yeah. Most “Natural wines” in the US don’t have sulfites either and they’re pretty good. I’m pretty sure there’s some other weird additives in the cheap US stuff that is banned in most other countries

    it's gotta be the one on the right. the first one looks too french and it's has like a slave owner's house on the label. the second one looks too bourgeois with it's cursive, but it does have a twist off cap so that's a plus. but the right one has a simple label with a cool fish scale design with just the name of the wine and a neat little ship on the foil.

      Counterpoint: that ship looks like it could carry gold from colonies to Spain. I think the second one is the farthest from bourgeois symbology.

    alternative answer: all of these bottles are communist if you’ve reclaimed them for the people from a billionaire’s mansion (before burning the mansion down during a glorious uprising of the proletariat)

      Claiming psychoactive substances as bourgeois decadence is reactionary thought :gulag:
