Wine journal

+Recently I have started sampling the red wine collection of the Finnish government's alcohol store. I just realized I have been having 1-2 bottles a night for almost 2 weeks now and decided it might be good to keep some kind of journal if I am ever to finish their whole collection. It's hard to believe that until recently, I didn't drink a drop of alcohol for 2 whole years. Suddenly I just realized I love red wine and here we are. I associate it with all the vice in the world, from the orgies of Roman times to smoking opium in Portugal, so it always has a mental effect to go with the buzz for me. True wine aficionados would cringe at the thought of someone drinking all of this just to get wasted and dream of everything that is wrong (right) in the world.

I'm not a wine connoisseur or anything, I am just trying to fight off the futility and boredom of existence until I can get GTFO from this cold, stagnant country that is trying to force the majority's philosophy of life on everyone. I know, cliche. But I am so sick of it all. Wine seems to help pass the time and make it to the next day, so I drink wine.

So, the red wines I have tried in the last couple of weeks, judging by the bottle I have found lying around. I'll update as I find more of them. I can't remember the effects or taste of most, but will try to keep track of them from now on.

Cafe Culture (South Africa) {Love this one, a great everyday wine}
Juno (South Africa)
Allora Primitivo Salento (Italy) {Not bad}

J.P. Chenet Merlot (France) {Meh}
Wolf Blass Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia) {Very full taste, great wine}
Montalto Collezione Di Famiglia Nero d'Avola (Italy)
Cono Sur Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile) {Meh..}
Yellow Tail Shiraz (Australia) {Very nice, like all Australian Chiraz I have trie}
