I don't understand the wine guy on Saturday Kitchen.
The fact that I don't really like wine is irrelivent, it's that he chooses a wine to go with every dish. The veriations of wine aren't much more than red/white/rosie. It's a single ingredient, such as saying 'saussage', like sure you've got beef/pork/other. OK, sure, with wine you've got Burgandy or Kianty or whatever, but same sassuage, you've got chorizo or sage or whatever.

If he expanded it to all drinks, I could understand it a bit better.

Oh, I can understand the art of picking a bottle of wine to go with any dish
What I don't understand is why he has to act like such a flamboyant twat while he's doing so.

Wine ends up tasting differently due to many, many factors, Gonz
It's much more complicated than the colour, or the type of grape used. it's not as complicated as wine snobs want you to think, though.

Yeah', I totally agree, but it's just wine, sometimes different beers are in order, sometimes cocktail/juices/soft-drinks etc.
It's so limiting, but it shows up in every dish.

Wines taste radically different depending on what you're eating
It's weird - Syrah tastes like sauerkraut when drunk on its own but of berries when drunk with a casserole, for example.

not just for food, there are particular wines that are good
for drinking while arsing about online, wines for swigging round a campfire and wines for drinking in shop doorways.

You've got to be decerning
