Level Up Wine, Daniels vs Spaniels, & Best Breweries

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Level Up Wine, Daniels vs Spaniels, & Best Breweries


Level Up your red wine drinking with these tips to get the most flavor out of your bottle. It’s actually pretty amazing how flat red wine can taste if it’s too chilled, you tried to drink it without aeration, and you have it in the wrong glass. Let thatwine breathe, allow the temperature to come up, and have it in the proper glass - it could be your favorite wine. Click the link to get more from your reds https://sonomawinegarden.com/how-to-make-red-wine-taste-better/


Daniels vs Spaniels! Jack Daniels, who believes they are defending the trademark of their Old No 7 brand. This battle began when VIP products came out with their Bad Spaniels squeaky toy that used a similar shape, font, and black label on their dog toy to parody the whiskey with some low-brow humor. Parody is usually protected, but did this one go too far? Get up to speed at the link https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/21/politics/jack-daniels-bad-spaniels-dog-toy-supreme-court/index.html

Powdered Beer, Vodka Bettering , & Bartender Recommended for National Cocktail Day

For you Boozebuddies today I have - Powdered Beer, Vodka Bettering , & Bartender Recommended Rye for National Cocktail Day


Powdered Beer, from Germany? Well, actually this is not entirely beer, it has zero alcohol, but it sounds like it tastes a lot like beer, looks a lot like beer, and it’ll froth and foam up like a beer - once you do add some water. The testing phase will go through the middle of 2023, and then alcohol should be added to the mix as it scales up. Skepticism is expected, but if they can overcome that, cheers? Hit the link for more https://newatlas.com/lifestyle/powdered-beer/


Vodka Bettering - by White Claw. They sure have grown up and some bettering. Or, maybe gimmicking? They’ve created the world's first Triple Wave Filtered™ vodka. The first-of-its-kind filtration process uses tremendous pressure equal to three 30-foot waves to create a vodka with distinctive taste, aroma, and smoothness. Vodka is being chased by rum for the number one spot, maybe this will be enough to hold onto it. More at the link https://tinyurl.com/2ef4bg33

Bartender Recommended Ryes for your cocktails. I always trust those slinging spirits daily to know what people don’t send back and people are willing to pay for again and again. So this list of Rye Whiskeys can be relied on to be the backbone of your next mixed beverage. No surprise that you’ll recognize names - like WhistlePig Small Batch 10-year and Russell’s Reserve 6-year. But did you expect that Wild Turkey 101 would make the list too? Go check out the list and get your order in at the link https://punchdrink.com/articles/best-rye-whiskey-manhattan-cocktail/Remember to stay safe, and drive sober.

Alcohol Moovement, Vino’s Underdogs & Curry Bourbon

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Alcohol Moovement, Vino’s Underdogs & Curry Bourbon


The Alcohol Moovement might have finally landed. This was an idea I first saw kicked around on Fingers (https://www.fingers.email/p/heres-an-idea-hard-milk) then Twitter by Dave Infante, and it’s hard milk. Milk, with booze as lactose can be converted into alcohol. Whey based alcohol seems to live in a grey area of laws. The riches are in the niches - to dig into this niche, click the link https://vinepair.com/articles/dairy-based-alcohol/


Vinos Underdogs. There are plenty of wines that go unrecognized by you every day. You might be walking up to a rosé, passing right by a Ramato. Are you moving aside an Aglianico to grab that Cabernet? Have you even heard of Mt Etna? These are your wine underdogs. Go check out the list,and start down the path of finding a wine that might be distinctly you, at the link https://www.mensjournal.com/food-drink/wine-varietals

Curry Bourbon. Wardell Stephen Curry aka Steph Curry is the latest athlete with his own brand. The Golden State Warriors player joins J-Harden, Lebron James, CJ McCollum, and Michael Jordan. Details we know this - it’s planned name is Gentleman’s Cut Game Changer, will be bottled at 85 proof, and aged five years. The article has more on Game Changer at the link. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/steph-curry-making-own-bourbon-013000450.html

3 in 1, Wine Hack, & Light Lagers FTW

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - 3 in 1, Wine Hack, & Light Lagers FTW 3 in 1 - a cup that holds 3 drinks has been devised by a college kid and it’s leaving the world wondering why we didn’t do this before? The Mesa college area has been taken by storm, or by ‘WesCup’ the creation of 19 year old Wes Renda. “Wes thought of his creative idea at the age of 11. He was tired of having to finish a 48-ounce drink with just one flavor...“ get more on the great idea at the link https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/zevely-zone/wescup/509-275e6ace-b8cb-4f9a-b2b1-dc4bf4bacf32 Wine Hack for storing wine, direct from a sommelier. The best container for storing your wine is one you may already have. Mason jars. Works best when filled right up to the top. This idea comes from a sommelier who educates users about vino with the username @confidenceuncorked on TikTok.

I was just singing the praises of McLighty’s from Zero Gravity mclightysbeer.com/ - a definitely crushable beer.
