Is drinking wine with your wee finger sticking out acceptable?

Pighead · 27-05-2008 12:43PM #1

During Pigheads teenage years wine was seen as a lady/effeminate mans drink and was seen as a drink to be associated with all that was sophisticated and posh. Pighead was many things during his teenage years but sophisticated or posh he was not.

As the boy grew into a man, the taste buds developed and the sophistication grew. Wine became acceptable. It tasted good, was relatively cheap and it got you pissed and wobbly before you could say "I'm pissed and wobbly and I think it may be because of the wine"

Anyway as you can see, Pighead is not ashamed to admit he drinks the vino. However there is one thing that causes embarrassment and thats when Pigheads little finger and sometimes the one beside it too, involuntarily rise whenever the glass is raised towards the mouth. Comfortable as hell but definitely not a good look. A bit like that whole cossing your legs thing.

Anyway heres what Pighead looks like.

Is this acceptable behaviour for BGRH's most senior brother?

trout thinks if pighead really looked like that ... pighead would never leave the house.

No, drinking wine is not acceptable.

All depends on what glass you drink wine out of. If you have a proper wine glass it's fine, I suggest altering your glass holding. Maybe holding the glass between your middle and ring finger like whiskey to avoid the finger straying... or... drink it out of a regular glass and hold it like you would any other

what's with the fairy drink, wine is not acceptable!

Well, maybe this one but that's a big maybe...

Of course it is Forky buddy. Pighead bets you a million bottles of wine that you are under the age of 25. Mark Pigheads words, as soon as you turn 25 you will embrace wine much in the same way as a mother embraces her child whos been lost for the last 5 minutes in the supermarket.

star-pants · 27-05-2008 12:54PM

well .... white wine, as you hold it by the stem of the glass
but with red wine you are meant to hold it so as to heat the red wine with your hand, but I guess you could keep your pinky finger out too...

Pighead · 27-05-2008 12:57PM

No

You mean hold the glass down lower to avoid the spontaneous finger rising? Like this:

Just as well you're already banned, cos I'd have done it for that remark.
Clearly you know absolutely nothing about the sacred beverage known as wine.

The picture isn't showing, work is probably blocking it.

27-05-2008 01:01PM

Depends.

Nope.

I like the odd glass of wine, but the whole finger is just wrong

Radharc na Sleibhte · 27-05-2008 01:06PM

Depends.

No.
To me, wine is bearable, only if its white and very cold.

Well it is obvious then that you are the exception to the rule.

You're the black man with the small penis, the man from Limerick who hates rugby, the girl who hates sex and the city, the boards poster who finds Cheeky_Gals posts imaginative entertaining and witty.

You are the xception rather than the rule nialler. Ask any of Pigheads fellow senior brothers if they drink wine. They will all say: Yes, yes I do.

What can I say, I just prefer beer.

The Romans even had a god for wine, Bacchus.

Agent Smith · 27-05-2008 01:09PM

Wine is acceptable, as Long as its red, and drunk By the bottle

Pighead · 27-05-2008 01:11PM

No

You mean like this?

Thanks for the suggestion MikeySligo. For a man from the west you're actually quite helpful clear and imformative. Another exception to the rule.

Will · 27-05-2008 01:11PM

I like a nice glass of red with some steak (most meat tbh)

Radharc na Sleibhte · 27-05-2008 01:11PM

Depends.

I think everyone here would prefer beer, but if I'm handed a glass of wine, I'll keep my pinky in a closed fist.

Radharc na Sleibhte · 27-05-2008 01:12PM

Depends.

The roman Empire is dead!

So should the wine drinking fad be

Mr. Presentable · 27-05-2008 01:18PM

Drinking wine with your wee finger sticking out is perfectly acceptable if your name is Julian.

BTW, isn't the toe pinky the little piggy who went wee wee wee all the way home?

Just asking.

Will · 27-05-2008 01:19PM

you drink with your feet? o.0

With my mouth. You?

nice1franko · 27-05-2008 01:36PM

the good lord said two things that are particularly appropriate here:

firstly: passeth me the wine there johnner
moral of story: wine's there to be drunk. drink the fukc out of it. think about it, screwing up your face and saying 'eww I don't like the taste of it' about *any* alcoholic beverage is girly.

secondly: (no doubt after a few jugs of wine): if your hand causes you to rob things then cut off your hand.
moral of story: off with the wee finger pighead.

nice1franko · 27-05-2008 01:38PM

also, to avoid any confusion drink your wine out if a pilsner glass like this http://www.beerquest1k.com/Assets/Glass-ReudnitzerPils.JPG

Hmm
looks like our hero on the left of the pic is indeed about to protrude the wee finger......

Radharc na Sleibhte · 27-05-2008 01:42PM

Depends.

Classy.
He'll probably protrude the bottle into his buds face when he's done with it too.
