Can you enjoy a lunch and dinner without any wine?

Question

Most of the people say "You must eat while drinking wine or you´re rude". I disagree. We can enjoy a sophisticated meal with juice, beer or even coke. Do you agree?

Answer 1

of course! people do NOT need wine in every meal! its not rude wen you want to stay classy. if you want to have a drink of wine its totally fine but not at every meal! even soda is fine. or beer.

Answer 2

Yes, you can enjoy the taste of the food more. I know they say wine enhances the taste of whatever you're eating -- if you're drinking the right kind -- but  I absolutely hate the taste!

Answer 3

That is a very shallow statement for anyone to make.  There is nothing in the rules of etiquette requiring anyone to drink wine.

Answer 4

those people are a bunch of alchoholics.  drink whatever you want.

Answer 5

yes! i do that all the time. most often i just have water anyways. saves money and you can have cocktails somewhere else, preferably at home or some else's house.

Answer 6

Your quote is different than what you are saying.  It is different to eat without wine than to drink wine without eating food.

Of course it doesn't make sense either way, your people are crazy.

Answer 7

!00% sure you can, I do, and think millions of people in other countries cant even buy wine and they enjoy their LUNCH and DINNER, with water

Answer 8

of course!! all you need is the food and BAM! you got some pretty good food! :)

Answer 9

Yes, I think it's very possible to enjoy a meal with wine being absent.
