What is your favorite alcoholic beverage to relax and unwind?

my own white wine - usually a Pino Grigio.

Sometimes, just before bed, I'll have a tiny bit of my own Merlot.

I just reread this entire thread and I think this is the fourth time you've responded to the question with the same answer. You're certainly consistent

This summer I'm starting to like an ice cold Clamato.

A glass of chilled white wine--Pinot Grigio favored, but I'm not picky!
In winter a glass of good port. preferably with some good chocolate.

Wine - still wine - always wine.
Any color - as long as it's good wine - but mostly red.

This thread was a nice stroll down memory lane.

These days, my drinking is pretty much limited to a small glass of eggnog over the holidays.

"Still", as in your ongoing/continuing choice or as in a wine that is not sparkling?

 

[dragnlaw]

What??? never heard of anyone saying 'still' wine.

Have heard of 'sparkling/bubbling/effervescent wine'. Or it is just plain "wine", not still.
Am I mistaken? Is that common usage somewhere?

If someone doesn't want sparkling (etc.) that person will say, "Please not sparkling (etc). Thank You"

Mind you, they might say "Make sure that booze is from your own Still, OK Bubba?" LOL

 

[GotGarlic]

I've heard of still water, but not still wine.

 

[Silversage]

Yes, 'still' is a proper term for non-sparkling wine.
Usually, my preference is for still wines, not sparkilng ones.
However, when I posted, I meant I still prefer wine - always wine.
