Obviously red, I prefer aged burgundy with aged cheddar. |

Chambertin, for anyone who games with French forces during the Napoleonic period. Rick |

Yes, it depends entirely on the locale and antagonists involved. Regionals can be quite nice. |

Wine? I prefer single malt whisky when I game! Of course, I guess if I got pulled into one of those "wine and cheese" style games, a good glass of port or madeira would do me. |
 x42brown | 28 May 2010 10:44 a.m. PST |
pinot nero friuli which is of course the correct wine for all occasions. |

Much depends on the setting. For example, if I were fighting an Italian Wars battle, the obvious choice for me would be a "nice Chianti." |

For ancients or fantasy – Mead.(preferably from a drinking horn) For Naploeonics – Port, Sherry, or Madeira.(served by a sneering french waiter) For 40K – Yukon Jack. Cigars optional, but recommended. ;} |

Yes, it depends entirely on the locale and antagonists involved. Regionals can be quite nice. I think this is a correct principle! Of course, this might make gaming Mongols slightly less popular for those not into drinking fermented mare's milk. |

As they are all considered "games": red. |

The last time I drank wine with a wargame was during our groups abortive Flames of War effort, and I brought a nice bottle of Chianti (I was playing Italians) to celebrate Dark Age: Genesis going to the printers (I am not a sock puppet for Dark Age Games, I have never denied working for them!) Sadly, no one was in the mood for Chianti, and I wound up drinking the whole bottle myself… made rather a mess of the host's downstairs bathroom I'm afraid. But I have always been the source of the good stories: I am the guy who sowed up dressedi n drag, I drank the whole bottle of wine, I looked surprised that not everyon had seen beasty porn… |

If you're playing ACW then Boonsfarm is the one. 8) |

Saw a bottle once, when the missus played a game. |

Something served in a box with a pour spout! I'm all class. Should be on sale when I buy it with a 2 for 1 coupon. |

I think Sancerre is wasted on gaming, might run to Chablis but most likely a cheap Chardonnay. Wolf Blass is OK. We did once play Third Reich accompanied by a whole case of Beaujolais Nouveau, that was a memorable game, not. |

Diet orange soda isn't technically a type a wine, is it? |
| Top Gun Ace | 28 May 2010 2:54 p.m. PST |
No, that would be more of a champagne, or sparkling wine…. |

I'm going with great hall's porto and a cigar. Although, gotta admit, a nice little malbec could substitute for the port. |

Playing AWI is either Madiera or Port… |

OK GHG, where can we smoke and drink whilst we play? I'm game. |

There's a good shiraz from McLaren Vale in Oz called "Battle of Bosworth". |

Spanish red wines mainly from La Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Not those especifically made to be exported to anglo-saxon countries that taste like coloured water, but the ones made for locals.
Also, there are some really good white wines from the region where I live, Canary Islands, specially from Lanzarote. |

Pah! Wine is for the middle classes and pansy southerners. Cask ale is a REAL man's drink. Good for getting you dawghoused as well ! |

Almost any Rioja Gran Reserva. The only problem would be, the wife. She likes it as much as I do. |

Almost any Rioja Gran Reserva. The only problem would be, the wife. She likes it as much as I do. So buy her an army and teach her to play! Jeeze, do I have to do all the thinking around here??????? |
| slugbalancer | 01 Jun 2010 7:38 a.m. PST |
Two bottles of Rioja would be the better way around the problem. One for me at the table and one for her in front of the TV. |

BTW what is "Hard cider"??? Cider that has a flicknife??? |
