Do you drink Wine when you watch Football?

Well, some of you Nancys obviously do…fess up.






"WFL" Wine Football League will be Revealed on 9-10-12



September 4, 2012- The WFL, Wine Football League will be announced to the public on Monday September 10, 2012 prior to the season-opener double header of Monday Night Football on ESPN.

The Wine Football League or the WFL is not a pro football league that is looking to rival the NFL. It's a creative "Football & Wine" marketing campaign created by The Wine'tastic Mile of Baltimore and Dunkadelic Sports Marketing.

The NFL is composed of 32 teams in 31 U.S. cities. The WFL will give each team a wine themed nickname to help promote the "Football & Wine" culture with the NFL. It's for wine lovers to follow their favorite teams with a wine inspired nickname.

There seems to be a never ending amount of beer commercials during the NFL regular-season and playoffs. Wine is never mentioned, but there are millions of NFL fans who enjoy watching games with a nice Cabernet or Chardonnay says, Derrick E. Vaughan the creator of the WFL.

When you go to a big-time steakhouse or upscale seafood restaurant during games or after games you see the wine drinkers enjoying their wine with a 20 oz. cowboy ribeye or grilled branzino fish, Vaughan continues.

The idea came to Vaughan a sports guru while he was thinking about the 40th Anniversary of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were the last NFL franchise to go undefeated for an entire season and during the playoffs in 1972.

Chris Berman of ESPN would say each year after the last NFL team would taste defeat the '72 Dolphins are popping the champagne realizing that their record of 17-0 still stands for another year.

Wine sucks. It cut my streak of puke free since '93. Hope they stop manufacturing it altogether.

Man law states "NO FRUIT IN BEER" technically tomatoes are a fruit.

If your gonna do that you might as well put an umbrella in it and call it a BEER-Colada.

No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked something like that, man. /Lawrence

I think it's just a 2,000-year fad. It'll fade eventually.

Wine is a big fat no, but I could do a tumbler of Scotch, Law and Order style.

So last night a buddy calls me up and asks what I'm doing for the Giants Cowboys game. Told him I was staying in watching it at home, but if he's bored he can come over and chill at my place and watch the game.

He says ok and was going to be at my place at around 7pm before the game started.

I then get a text at about 6:30pm. "Do you have a wine bottle opener?"

My reply.."Uhhh, no. I don't ever drink wine unless it's an occasion that I can't avoid"

He shows up with a bottle of wine. I almost told him to leave .

I guess he thought we were going to cuddle later.

[CoMoChief]

I can't stand the taste of wine.

People always tell me "Well you haven't had good wine"

Which is true...I've never had a high pricey good quality glass of wine.

I don't ever plan to, all wines taste the same IMO. They all taste like ass.

I am right with you there. A friend of mine gifted me with a bottle of wine, and it sits unopened in the back of my booze cabinet. It will probably turn to vinegar before I open it.

. . . unless she comes over, that is.

Drinking wine on NFL Sunday is only acceptable if you are in one of those stupid states that won't sell alcohol on sunday and wine is all you have and you can't really afford to go out to buffalo wild wings to watch the games. Then yes, then wine is okay.

Pretty good place to have a Super Bowl.

wine is good with a killer meal, but a sub rule prohibits wine at a killer meal if it is at a tailgate. So, wine is ok at home, but only if you are eating a big meal. Never at the game, and never while just watching the game. Beers, redbeer before noon, and bloody mary are all acceptable. Whiskey is ok if its real cold out. That should clear it all up for you.

[HemiEd]

at all the wine hate here.

It is not my choice usually for watching a game, but peer pressure would never keep me from doing so.

I keep a pretty good selection of cab in the house that will hold up to a nice steak.

Enjoying wine and beer, are two totally different things, and I still have a lot to learn about both of them.

[Fire Me Boy!]

OK, I don't generally drink wine during football games, but I have before. I love wine. In another life, I'm going to be a sommelier.

Wine is awesome! I love wine, all types. Not big on Sauvignon Blanc, though. Tastes kinda like strong cheese. But I love the bright acidity and subtle fruitiness of a nice Riesling and the pumped up volume of a Chardonnay, but what really perks my taste buds is a light Pinot Noir or a full bodied, bold Shiraz or Syrah.

I would cry if they stopped making wine. I actually had a wine tasting at my house last weekend.

That's really sad. You can get a really nice wine for $10 and less, just gotta know what to get. It's also possible you haven't had it served properly.

I drink wine with regular old meals. I had a nice glass of Pinot Noir with a microwave beef pot pie last week. True story.

Mrs. FMB! and I are actively trying to learn more, and it's really shocking what you can learn about the grape varietals simply by drinking different styles in a tasting setting.
