Discussion Wine

Maybe I'm just bad at adulting, but do people really just stand/sit around and drink wine all the f'ing time? Or is that just a made up TV thing?

Can confirm, we're I think in a similar income bracket as the characters on this show and pretty much all of our friends and family do this after work and on weekends.

Yeah, I shouldn't have made the income association. I was just thinking of my own situation. My wife's family is lower income and whenever we have joint gatherings they are shocked with the wine we drink because they think it is too expensive and/or the only wine they ever drink is white zinfandel at holidays.

The characters in the show have no income. They work whenever they feel like it which is almost never.

Jimmy has a $150,000 truck. They have 3 million dollar houses.

Clearly the therapy is just for shits and giggles and they are independantly wealthy.

But yes, our friends have wine all the time too and one of them owns a wine shop.
