Beer or Wine?
In the good-old days there was no choice, if you were posh you drank wine, if you were not you drank beer. Same goes for the Beatles-Stones debate. The Beatles were the nice clean-living, fun loving beat combo, whereas the Rolling Stones were the scare-your-mom hairies. But, making the choice between beer vs wine, Beatles vs Stones led to a societal bifurcation, it split us down in the middle, in other words.
What are the two tribes of today? Burberry vs Barbour? Twitcher vs Birder? Bling vs Blong? Do those sociopolitical barriers between groups still exist? Here’s a short list of the key life choices you must make to help you decide on which side of the fence you sit, in whose camp you reside, and whether you’re a “Lager Lout” or a “Winebar Whinger”. Check through this highly scientific list and then cast your vote in the most important blog poll ever!

Charlie Watts from the Stones loves Jazz and Pop-art, and Brian Jones (of the same popular beat combo) loved all thing Moroccan!
.. STONES GINGER WINE !!! Gosh the thing ya find out from this Internet thing! ,,,, my shandy is made from Irish beer and lemonade – mostly lemonade as Irish beer is bitter.
Personally, I’ll drink whatever’s on the table and occasionally end up underneath it. No, allergies are no laughing matter. I do find that my intermittent attacks of bronchospasm are at the worst after drinking cheap wine, so I tend to favour the more expensive kind.

In my case, it has to be wine, regardless; unless I’d like to stop breathing. Allergic anaphylactic shock from hops is no fun. But, a true “wine whinger” would drive a hybrid, not a Chevy and listen to classical music! I’ll stick with wine, Ford, Hyundai and clasic rock (including both Stones and Beatles). ;-)
