How To: Choose the Right Wine

Wine. Vino. To many college students, the world of fermented grape juice brings only two things: stains and terrible, awful hangovers. Not to mention, all the gadgets and glassware involved in opening and serving the wine. But, if you can manage not to spill the red stuff over your white shirt and be smart about how much you consume, wine can be a great addition to dinners and parties. However, certain situations call for certain types of wine.

So, the question remains: how do you get the confidence to order the right glass or bottle of wine while out at dinner? There are a few small tricks that can help.

Knowing What You Are Ordering

While wine is generally pricier than beer, it is best not to grab the cheapest bottle on the menu. One night, while with a buddy in New York, we decided to treat ourselves. Not knowing much about types of wine, we mistakenly ordered a white zinfandel.Oops. When two guys at sunset order white zinfandel, which contrary to its name, is pink, the waiter may get the wrong idea. Not until the wine came to the table did we realized our mistake. Thankfully the rest of the restaurant was too bombed to care about our faux pas.

Doing it Right

The general rule of thumb when choosing a wine is to match its color with the type of meat you are ordering. Reds with steak and whites with fish or chicken.While there are “correct” ways of drinking and tasting wine (ala the movie Sideways), for the average Joe, you don’t have to act like Paul Giamatti to impress your friends. Think of it more as a 12 percent beer in a fancy glass.

The Best of the Cheap Beers

There are some people who don’t just drink, they drink. These people go out and get smashed, tore-up, completely trashed drunk. And they’ve got the knowledge that goes with it. Especially the knowledge about what to drink.

These are the guys who hit up the liquor stores for the Big Three in party beers: Natty, Busch and Keystone. Then they kill that 30 case between four people during the pregame. And, not surprisingly, with such strong drinkers out there, there are some equally strong opinions behind which beer to shotgun.

Sure you can make a case that other beers - like Coors Light or PBR - should be included in the cheap beer category, but we’re only focusing on three for now. Three beers that we feel have seemingly no other purpose except to be guzzled by college students and rednecks.

 

The Comparison

The strengths of each beer vary by intention and palate. But, of course, there’s still got to be a clear winner. And there is. Let’s start at the bottom, though, and work our way up:

Bottom: NATTY LIGHT
Natty blows. Plain and simple. You can’t serve Aquafina and Natty next to each other, because no one would ever be able to tell the difference. Maybe that’s a lie, but Natty’s a seriously weak beer. While proponents argue that it’s cheap and it gets the job done, so do these other two beers, and they don’t completely suck.

Middle: KEYSTONE
Keystone’s good because they openly advertise to the college drinker demographic, even using the ‘Stone name on their packaging every now and then. The downside of Keystone is that it’s like Busch, watered down with Natty. Anything you can say that’s good about Keystone, you can say even more so about Busch.

Winner: BUSCH LIGHT
That leaves us with Busch: the winner of the cheap beers. Busch has a pretty terrible flavor and little appeal, but if you need to bottom-feed, you’re going to want to do so with Busch.

Conclusion

If you can handle a beer bong that’s delivered off of a flight of stairs, you should be smart enough to be cracking Busch into that six-foot long tube. Because you’re not just drinking, you’re drinking.
