How does your significant other view your wine habit?

Option #2 "Wine is Great. You Do the Research, I'll Help You Drink," is exactly how it works with us and, I suspect, many others on this board.

a

#2 and i do all the buying and ordering at restaurants etc. I also get a lot of flack if the wine is not up to par

#2 - Welcome to the world of significant others

#2 Exactly. She loves good wine and never asks what I spend.

Unfortunately, mine does ask what I spend. On the other hand, she thinks the Krug is worth the cost...

My wife is very supportive, but sometimes I do spend too much time and money on wine.

wife could care less, as long as she has some great german rieslings in the cellar.

My wife wont drink wine.I have had her try all sort of wine incl some pretty high scoring chards. No interest at all.She is still young,maybe I just need to give her more time.I didnt like wine at 24 either.

Mine falls into the last category, unfortunately, although she does drink wine occasionally. Still thinks it's crazy to spend the money I do on wine.

maxy - if you fall into the last category, how come there are 0 votes for it???

I'm in with the majority at #2.

I went with #2, but more accurate would be a modified #2 with "how much did you spend?" added on. I just try to buy a lot of old wine so I can say I have had it since before we were married. I guess this will get harder as the years go by.

My wife never asks me how much I spend. I'm almost positive she doesn't want to know!!

#1 - What Do You Mean? I Like Wine WAY More Than You Do!!!

I went with number 2 even though I don't think it quite fits my situation. I have a rather unique wine relationship with PURPLE.

My wife enjoys wine and is willing to express a comment or two about why she does or doesn't enjoy a particular bottle, but doesn't want to participate when it comes to lengthy geekspeak. She sees it as unnecessarily analytical.

This is a far better situation for me than it used to be, due largely to the fact that she has enjoyed meeting so many great people at offlines in the last few years. Her interest and enthusiasm increased markedly once she recognized the quality of the folks I spend time with online.

I know that all of you will keep working on her when you meet her.

My wife complains about all the money spent but if you pour her a mediocre bottle of wine then its time to take cover.

You forgot the option "Significant other - I used to have one but it was her or the wine and the wine won"

#2 - My husband is more than supportive these days. He's a enabler especially when it comes to "traveling for wine", ie offlines.
