You have quite a lot of opinions on a topic which you admittedly don't know.

I was actually trying to be polite and humble, since I've tasted at least 700 distinct beers and probably about 80 wines. I do have my opinions, and the servers in any decent establishment will not insult the person who likes a drink "because it tastes good".

You have quite an offputting smugness, triggered by such a light and otherwise friendly discussion.

And you have quite an offputting ignorance, which you show no qualms about putting on display for everybody to see.

Seriously? Comparing sauvignon blanc and chardonnay to a chocolate stout and a pale lager? Are you intentionally trying to be disingenuous?

Well, forgive me for being smug to someone that deserves it.
