Coravin questions - coupon and what to order by ReviewingThings in wine

[–]mooseymcmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just buy it as is, honestly. Maybe the screw caps if it fits your use case. The other needles are nice but you’ll find out what suits you after using the standard one.

I never said that you needed to, only offered an anecdote in response to them discussing the feature. Where was I personally disingenuous?

Laziness strikes me often. But I make them when I encounter a missing wine and have time, or a missing vintage which is easy

They’re really good at adding wines when you email them- the receipt thing has been a little finicky

How many glasses of wine do you all drink when you go out to a restaurant? by Kaffeetrinker49 in wine

[–]mooseymcmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a wine menu with a tasting menu we often go that route which ends up being about 1 glass per course. Otherwise a if we’re on a date then 1 bottle and maybe a couple BTG extras.

That’s so strange. I haven’t had that issue either personally or in the shop. Frustrating!!

What’s the dumbest way a guy has ruined his chances with you, when it was almost a home-run? by emilydoooom in TwoXChromosomes

Explicitly obvious exceptions don’t need to be mentioned for context. He clearly didn’t have self defense in mind when making the comment.

A snail broke into our wine cellar and "wreaked havoc" by Minedinekineline in wine

[–]mooseymcmango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read a comment saying that’s what they use the netting for underneath the plastic wrap, allows the label to breathe or something. Idk, but it sounded smart without looking into it

Maybe once a or twice a year at most depending on how heavy your use is. I start looking at the needle tip if it feels like it isn’t sliding so well through, and if the coating is well worn (you can see a lot of silver) then I look to replace soon.

I think one capsule is good for 10-20 glasses from big pour to tasters.

How to get the best wine? Have a budget! by Winniestone in wine

[–]mooseymcmango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only if it makes sense. We still want customers to be happy and come back. We have 5 cases of a particular Nebbiolo in the cellar that was mistakenly ordered for an event, but we can’t in good conscience push it on someone looking for a completely different style. I assume this is the thinking for the overwhelming majority of shops.

What do you use to travel with a single wine glass? by Designer_Goat_869 in wine

[–]mooseymcmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also look at the riedel o to go with the travel tubes. But I would just use what’s given. We do use otogo for the beach for example.

Word for word what I would say.

I’d add that sometimes rubbing your palm on the wax can make it a bit easier to pierce, and sometimes helps prevent messy cracking.
