>>287675766>unintentional absurdist comedythisi watch this because it makes me fucking laugh every single week
It's out? Watching now
>>287675652A toast to /a/
>>287675766I view it as a comedyI'm not taking it seriously at allIt's retarded, but that's what gives it charm
>>287675766It's the funniest anime of the year so far and it's not close.
>>287675957>it's out? Doomp et
>>287676086what?
>>287676086
>>287676113>YOU HAVE THIS WINE HERE, BUT NOT YOUR SON?? D':
>lol i forgotkek this show
>>287675981Kanpai! It's beer for me today I'm afraid.
>>287675981Fizzy apple juice here.
>>287675766It is actually possible for something to be completely earnest and simultaneously laughably silly. This show is proof. I am laughing at it and with it.
>>287676004is she gonna try to seduce Shizuku?
>these 12 wines are like the 12 disciples of christit's not that deep man
>>287676975It really is though. Jesus turned water into wine because wine is THAT important.
>i'm going to need you to find a wine that tastes like a 3 minute long description of walking through a mossy forest
>>287675981!
California mentioned
>>287677153this show is an unintentional ridicule of wine critics and i am here to see it all >sniiiiiiiiff >mmmmmyes this fermented grape mulch reminds me of a random european forest i've never been to (preferably in france)
>>287677276>sir that's a san diego wine
>>287677269Sacré bleu, I demand they stop broadcasting this instant!
how do you be a wine critic without getting absolutely hammered and dying of liver failure
>simply just tank the cirrhosis
>>287677322spit bucket
>>287677153Aren't all of these wines ludicrously expensive? How is he supposed to afford them?
>>287677153the description made me think more of the Hercynian Forest than some western french one
>>287677397All the kids use afterpay these days.
>>287677322from what little i've seen of "wine tasting" events, they slurp gurgle and then spit it out also rewatching wine tasting reminded me of the "ice cream taster" from the history channel when they used to air How It's Made https://youtu.be/EYtFH2bFCfg
>how on earth will we find this special wine>*sniff sniff*>hmmmm there's an art gallery here >gadzooks, there's a painting of the exact place the wine description mentioned!>where was this painted madame?>ah it does not exist, it came to me after drinking a bottle of wineseems a bit fucking convenient to me >can you tell us what that wine was?>i have amnesia lmaoCOME ON
>ah i remember nothing...nothing but the taste of wine... is this what end stage alcoholism looks like
*sip*
Another one
>>287676082That's one big glass
>>287677515>platonic ideal of alcoholism this show is unironically 6deep8me
>>287675766Yes.
>>287675766yeah buddy, i absolutely love dedicated topical otaku autism but when you attach weird melodrama and/or cute girls you get peak anime.
>wakes up remembering nothing, with only an ENGAGEMENT ring in her possession>later marries the doctor that helped her in the hospitalare you telling me he's not really her husband and he took advantage of an amnesiac?the doctor seemed awfully defensive and kept saying she didn't need to remember her past and she was happy as she is now, married to him instead...so where's her real husband?
>>287678378>...so where's her real husband?He was taken care of.
>>287678378is engraving with katakana weird or some gaijin only thing?
>>287675652That sommelier's name? Albert Winestein
You guys are already calling it absurd, but this isn't even the tip of the iceburg. Just wait till Issei gets lost in the desert or when they climb the Matterhorn.
>>287679228>hmm yes he deduced the year of the wine just by remembering the flavour of the grapes he ate as a child
>>287679274>hahhhh yes...the lush greenery, the assmad Anons, the petty shitposting...such a complex blend of flavors in one small sip of this delicious grape nectar, with an aftertaste of transgenderism and Redditfaggotry
>>287679386There better be sex with this cute bitch
>>287679503graphic defloration closeup shot
I love this Knuckles the Echidna character so much. Can't wait for the reveal that he always had a heart of gold.
I'll try to buy new world wine next time, I pledge
>>287675766I'm honestly having an amazing time with this one. It's so campy. It helps that I can't unsee the protagonist as Onizuka-sensei.
>>287676975Wine was always very significant. Christ's very first miracle was turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana. I just don't expect this to be religiously significant because you can tell it's all being used as a very pompous dressing because it's a foreign fancy thing.
Post your in irl life winesGonna be honest here, I'm not a wine drinker AT ALLI've had it like one time when hanging out with family some years ago, but I don't drink it regularly, nor am I planning to start. Was gifted this by a neighbor for Christmas last year. I use it for cooking, though have only made one thing so far, being meatsauce for lasagna. Was good, and the smell while it was simmering was divine
The lasagna in question, btw
>>287675652MWAH THE FRENCH
>>287677434>https://youtu.be/EYtFH2bFCfgSir, that's Napa Valley icecream.
>>287679969bro?
>>287680062What
>>287680074sorry i thought you were lost and didn't see the post above it
>what is wine?>at the end of my life, I have finally arrived at an answer>it is [headcannon]
>>287679941sipping on this (can't be arsed plugging the phone to the computer).
>>287679941From my quick Google search, that kinda looks like too fancy a wine to be used for cooking. But then again, people use Port and Madeira for cooking all the time too, so what do I know. Also, thank you for doing the meme and posting a Californian wine.
>>287680169Does Port wine even count as wine? It's probably its own thing. I can't think of wine when I drink it. It's just sweet alcoholic juice.
>>287680245fortified wine is still wine, stop the whine
>>287680245>it's just alcoholic juice...so it's wine then you fucking moron
>>287680245It's just wine with an added grape spirit that stops the fermentation a bit short (so some sugar remains) and boosts the alcohol content. That's why it's both sweeter and boozier than normal wine.
Does Champagne even count as wine? It's probably its own thing. I can't think of wine when I drink it. It's just carbonated alcoholic juice.
>>287680337No wine is the solemn distillation of sunlight, soil memory, and human impatience, quietly transformed through time into a liquid argument that taste is just another form of belief. It is not mere "juice".
>>287680337Probably not the happiest of descriptions, but you need to drink Port to understand. That shit doesn't even taste like wine, heck, you don't even feel the alcohol. It's just really sweet grape juice.The funniest thing about Port is that it's mysteriously very popular with American blacks. It's not a complex thing, it's just very sweet and the alcohol creeps up on you unexpectedly.
>this wine is... two butterflies FUCKING in a forestI see...
>>287677269You just know the manga was made pre-2000 because Californian wines are stereotypically anything but light. Thankfully newer producers and going more natural-ish and less overmanipulated because not every boomer wants a 16% ABV Napa red.>>287677322Its called spitting my dude.>>287679941Honestly have way too many, pic related was a good bottle though. Love my Canary Islands wines, the red is actually a genetic cousin to Listan Prieto which is known in the Americas as Pais or Mission and was the first successful European grape to grow in the continent.>t. work in the booze business as a day job
>>287680446>this wine is the wondrous sight of 2 lavender butterflies copulating deep in the forest after you quench your thirst from a crystal clear lake
>>287680184Decoy is basically port desu. Pinot that gets too much hangtime and tastes like Touriga Nacional (aka the key grape in port.) Its fine for cooking mince but it doesn't do much more for it than a $10 generic Italian red.
>>287680493fucking 4chan ate my pic goddamnit
>>287680545>Sp*nish wineMy sincerest condolences, hermano.
>Yes, that painting IS in fact the exact image your father described once when he drank one glass of one specific wine, but I don't know what wine it was, because you see.. I have... AMNESIA!!!Holy shit this show is amazing.
>>287680545Dios mÃo...la creatura del atlántico...
>>287680545>his wine has only aged for five years
>>287678925hehehe
>>287680606We love all wine here
There really is no better drink than a cozy red wine
>>287680493>You just know the manga was made pre-2000 because Californian wines are stereotypically anything but lightthe manga ran from 2004 to 2014
>>287680907having a jack daniels lemonade right now
>>287680184I assure it's not THAT fancy because it was a gift from a neighbor I hardly know
>>287675652Wait, this finally got an anime adaptation? Is it any good?
>>287680853>he doesn't enjoy 5 year oldsget off of /a/
>>287676922Cringe
>>287681901it's funny
>>287679941This is still my go-to drinking wine. In good years it really shows the qualities I love about French wines, and price-wise it wasn't too bad before 2020. Now it's about 1.8x more expensive than when I started drinking it.
>>287679941I enjoy all white wines to a degree, but this sissy kind is the only one I like enough to buy. Reds can suck my cock.
>>287679941I have to say, despite being an overpriced Shiraz blend, Klingon Blood Wine is pretty good.
>>287681980ah yes, cos
>>287681921>some faggot on /a/ called me cringe
wine bros, drinking a 'passo delle mule' tonight... a toast to our thread!
>>287681980You should've waited until episode 9 to show that.
>>287682170A toast! (I have no idea what you're talking about)
>>287682288drinking this (sadly pic not mine as my phone camera is kill). I thought I was between wine drinkers??
>>287681901Lol
>>287677491So is this Yakitate!! Japan but with wine instead of bread
>they need to find the wine fast!>uuh whats this completely unrelated smell...>woah an art exhibit! let's hit it lol>oMG ITS THE EXACT PAINTING OF THE DESCRIPTION!!!>uhmm lady wheres this?>eeeh... ackashauly... THIS IMAGE CAME TO MY MIND BECAUSE I DRANK THE WINE XDD>wtf?!??! which wine>ehmm I have amnesia XDDBRO IMAGINE ALL THESE COINCIDENCE PILING UP
>>287682333I done drank too much wine last week, I can't drink no wine no more!!!![spouler]I'd genuinely never heard of it, but it sounds nice.[/spoiler]
>>287682482>>>>>spouler
>>287682482ctrl+s
bro he finna make her regain memories with the wine frfr? LMAO
>>287682460It's all the will of Bacchus
>>287680493>>287677434>>287677384>can't even get wastedWhy even bother tasting wine?
>>287683172The point is to evaluate it, not get drunk dumdum.Wine can very quickly get you drunk depending on the style and ABV.
>>287682333I'm more of a beer and spirits (mostly whiskey) guy. I like wine well enough, but I can't afford to have a wine, beer, and mid to high end whiskey collection.
This anime doesn't deserve such a BOPPING op desu
>>287680365It's a sparkling wine.
>>287680365Bubbly doesn't count.
>>287683172If every wine taster drank every glass of wine they tasted, they'd be shitfaced by the time they got to their last glass. You'd see their scores curiously trend towards a 10 near the end of each tasting.
I will not drink the sour grapes.
>>287684033But some of them are sweet
Georgian wine is so underrated even though it mogs most french wine
I was going to take a screencap of each line of the description along with the pictures they showed and stitch them together as like a "this is the first apostle" image, with the intent of continuing that trend for future wines, but then the scene went on for like 2 fucking minutes lmaoDoes anyone have a proper paragraph version of it lol
Wines for the following feels, bros?>This nigga lookin' ZESTY, this nigga lookin' MOIST, he's got sugar in his tank, he's light on his feet, he's a Ill bit fruity, he plays for the other team, he dances at the other end of the ballroom, this nigga theatrical, this nigga good with colors, this nigga gonna coordinate yo curtains wit you cushions and that shit gonna look good! This nigga lifts shirts, this nigga on the down low, this nigga be a tollet trader, this nigga gardens uphill, this nigga packs fudge, he's a friend of Dorothy, he feels the love that dare not speak Its name, he loves to dance, he's of the Uranian brotherhood, he indulges in the French vice, he has an antipathic sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Polari, he's a refugee from Sodom, he's on the wrong bus, he bats for the other team, he's temperamental, he's 'one of if you catch my drift.
>this wine is two violet butterflies dancing together>protag happens to come across an artist's exhibition, due to the smell of flowers and berries enticing him>find a painting that incarnates the penultimate line of the description>artist says it was painted while she was driking a specific wine>which wine? Sorry, I don't remember. I HAVE AMBESIA, YOU SEE!fucking kek. This anime is on another level. Everything about this is so ridiculous man
>>287684369
>>287684427AMBESIA THE DANK DESCENT
>>287675652>Skipped Shizuku's first meeting with Sara>Skipped the Mariage arc>Skipped the brothers arcIs this anime trying to adapt all 12 apostles lol?
>>287684490they said it'll be a complete adaption, so yesit's 24 episodes by the way
>>287684490Qrd on those arcs?I'm never gonna read this manga
>>287684475Kek
>>287680439its basically fancy purple drankbut watching masterchef and some other shit makes me think black people have a muted sense of sweetness or something since when they go for sweetness they tend to go overboard
>>287684522>adapting 400+ chapters in 25 episodeslol. What a trainwreck.>>287684558Isn't black people food just southern anyway? That's probably why.
is this yaoi
>>287684541You should. It's wild ride.
>>287684870>it's not just because the wine is there. it's because I am here!
>>287678925I hope Albert Weinstein is a recurring character.
#relatable
>>287684798It's a show about a fruity drink that, if drunk in excess, makes you want to fuck things that you wouldn't otherwise. So you tell me.
>>287685024>wake up>engagement ring on finger>don't have any memories>marry the doctor>live unhappily for a decadeWoman moment
>>287685080I can't wait for next week to see how wine magically heals her. This show is just amazing.
>>287677383This is what I keep telling my friends and family when they do their "interventions", but they don't get it.
>>287679941Beaujo
Why do people like wine?
>>287685368It tastes good. And there's a lot of variety.
Just so you WINEFAGS know, there is a game, revered for it's excellence, called hundred days. Mmmuuuaaahhhhh the gameisissomething of a puzzlegame where you make wine. You take care of your vinyard in the french. And you name the vintage and bottle fermented with the lable year and nameThey did a collaboration with drops of god, and made either a DLC or a separate game which I haven't played, with the same gameplayIt was pretty fun for the couple dozen hours it lasted me for a full playthroughMay look into booting it up again due to the anime, modeld after that some french excellence by jaquimne forteu
stop wining
>>287680184>Port and MadeiraHoly double Portugal mention
I haven't unpaused the episode in 30 minutes because this week Botan's episode is still fucking up my mood.
>>287687242Drink an amnesia wine.
>>287687242>watching yurishit
Kind of serendipitous that this season we're getting two boozekinos.
>>287687320not anymore. botan is ruined.
>>287687348You actually reminded me to watch the episode. It's comfy so far.
>>287678378I bet the doctor was her fiance all along
>>287687382Wouldn't that be unlikely? If that was the case, people would know who she is. His family would probably know her already, her family would know him. It wouldn't be that big a mystery to solve.
>>287687405Her whole family died in an accident and he's protecting her from the traumaHis family either never met her or they're playing along with him
>>287685358Wrong cru m8.
>>287687348I don't know what you're on about. The episode was great. I appreciate the fact that the production is challenging itself with this kind of direction anthology. The artstyle was great.
>>287687497They're equally good
yeah, like spirytus would END someone's life
>>287687789>spirytusWho the fuck even drinks that?
>>287687925college boys in a diving club
>>287687789>spirytusYou're supposed to use it in a mix
>>287684163>Russian wineNyet, comrade. That is an even bigger meme than Californian wine.
>>287690056they dont use barrels like the rest of the world but holes in the ground, which gives it a unique flavor that you can only find in georgian wine
>>287688832Could she secretly be this season's best girl? She's pretty cute, and I like how passionate she is about wine.
>stopped drinking two years ago>can't enjoy alcohol-themed manga and anime anymorehuh
>>287688832>the look she gives you when she leglocks you and does her best to stop you from pulling out
>>287690703>>287690768Miyabi the cutest!
>>287690310>ahhh this wine... *SNIFF* yes... this wine is... a hole in the ground in some warehouse in Georgia... with hints of cement... and asbestos... and bricks... hmm... *SIP* yes! With bricks taken from an old outhouse.
>wandering through a quiet neighborhood at midnight>no direction but the way the gentle wind blows>cloaked in all dark- almost as if in fuligin- to be invisible to any onseeing eye>invisible, but for one faint, orange glow>that of the burning end of a cigar>charter oak. A strong earthy flavor, with an aftertaste like a bare autumn forest>occasionally, the lights from the windows of insomniacs, night-owls, and the unemployed man, guide my feet on a path>I go, following them like fireflies, until I am unknowingly, perhaps inevitability, back at my front door again>the smoke from the last of the cigar climbs up to the heavens, to meander the neighborhood of clouds above, continuing my journey as I turn in for the nightWines for this feel?
>>287679726The chapters where he treks through China's desert or whatever on foot and meets a Siberian girl to understand the terroir of wine better threw me for a fucking loop, fucking Lawrence of Gayrabia ass dude.
>>287690768Wine for this feel?
>>287691268>>287692246>Wine for this feel?
Is this actually watchable?>t. Wine drukker
>>287693174>me and the boys cracking a cold one
>>287690310I mean, why not? That's how the first wines and beers were brewed.
>>287693568yes
>>287693568Honestly, it has been great fun. At least to me.
>>287693568I haven't watched any episodes yet, but what was translated of the manga was enjoyable. It seems the goofy surreal wine metaphors get taken to the most hilarious extreme in the anime, so I figure it'd be pretty entertaining.
>>287695882I wonder if there is a wine these two can drink that would magically make them get married.
>>287696911Anon they haven't even held hands yet!
>>287693568I think it's been fine so far, but it kind of sucks that it has to cut out or breeze through a lot just to fit into 24 episodes. Ideally it should have gotten 70-100 episodes.
>>287699029They completely cut out the part where they get shitfaced and fall asleep together at her apartment.
>>287699758>Ideally it should have gotten 70-100 episodesmaybe back in the late 80s
>>287684163>semi-sweetinto the sink it goes
>>287675652Is it good
>>287703628yes
*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Bumping for Anjou
>>287675766I just watched the first 2 episodes, it's kino I'm afraid.
>>287705901It's such a fun show, I'm really digging it.
>>287707360Unfortunately you'll have to grab a torrent of the manga since the fan translations end around 100 chapters. It's good if you want to get into actually getting some wines, since the wine autism and details go very deep, and although they'll jerk off a bunch of expensive French products, they do show wines in the $20~ range that are comparable to higher quality ones.
>>287707520As I recall, they made a full official translation of the manga in an extraordinarily short amount of time. Dunno how good those are, especially like they did 44 volumes in like two years or something. Crazy stuff.I haven't read the manga, though, and I have very little interest in doing so because I'm so utterly enchanted by this anime adaptation. Anons make fun of it and all, and rightfully so I might add, but this one unironically has heart. It's also a very rare kind of westaboo story, there's this very earnest sincerity that is very endearing, the author is clearly very passionate for the subject matter. But having said that, it's also unintentionally funny because it's an intensely pseud topic, so yeah, like you said, you have all the expected French product jerk off, but what's more interesting to me is that it feels like an alien reporting on what those fancy white people drink in glorious Europe. This tickles my funny bone just right.Also, it really helps that the threads are very chill and filled with funposting. One of the comfiest threads this season.
>>287707848I want to see more reactions of Tomine cumming from drinking wine. >mfw the sippy kicks in
>>287708081I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this evolving Sonic & Knuckles dynamic.
>>287708169i dont know where the manga has gone but i fully expect him to be a secret half brother
>>287708629You're right.
Why are all drinking shows so pretentious? This, Botan's show airing this season, Bartender, all of them huff their own farts hard, is there something about ingesting alcohol that makes you feel like king shit of fuck mountain or something?
>>287710260most alcohol is a prestige luxury product. anime and manga are commercials and thats just how its sold.
>>287710260Takunomi wasn't like this.
>>287710260you just don't get it
>>287711209Yang Wen-li?
>>287711405You can't abandon a friend and must rely on them even more in difficult times.
>anime about one of my interests>can't talk about it on /a/ at all because every single faggot on /a/ is some weird self-hating schizo that acts like wine is some le elitist thing no one is allowed to enjoy, or else psychotic autistic puritans who can't stand alcohol and act like moralistic faggots over it even though they're really just afraid of themselves
>>287675652Wait, this has an anime now? Have they done the decantering meme yet?
>>287712323First three minutes of episode 1
*hic*
>>287712323
>>287712323>>287714514>Pouring DRC that high Poorfags...
>>287710260The original Bartender anime is actual cinema. Haven't watched the new version.
>>287713379Literally me
