Running out of wine...


I know it happens to everyone, you have a few people over and you didn't plan on using more than one or two bottles and that fat guy keeps pouring himself more but you want to follow up with something that works. Or more truthfully, it's just you, you didn't feel like driving to the store because you had a little more than half a bottle left that you didn't plan on sharing with your wife and now you want something more to drink but making a Martini just sounds like messing your head up too much.

Switching to beer doesn't always have to suck. This will probably cause some arguments then not but some beers can follow good dry reds (and even more so good dry whites, especially if they are Italian and Pinot Grigio) really well. What do I stock for these moments? Peroni, of course. Wine country, beer after wine? There is some blood relation and somehow it works. Peroni, I think, is the Pinot Grigio of beers. Oh and a six pack is normally under $10.
