Actually not.

The *full* definition:

1 : a red Bordeaux wine; also : a similar wine produced elsewhere
2 : a dark purplish red

Cheaper clarets can suffer from finge which must, of course, be removed
before drinking.

From Alexis Lichine
"Claret: In Great Britain, and frequently in the United States, red
Bordeaux is known as Claret." It is pronounced as "Clair-et", originated
especially by the British. The word was derived from the French
"clairet" by the Brits.

And I'll never forget a guy I dated when I was too young for drinking --
he was trying to show off, I guess. The waiter recommended a claret
(pronounced as above) and my date said "Oh, you mean Clare-A." Phake!!

What is a "phake?" My guess is that it falls into the same category as
"prolly" although it is hard for me to imagine why someone would type a
longer word just to be wrong.

That above pronunciation is just as phake. In British English, at
least, the 'a' in claret is pronounced 'æ', which is one sound. The
'ai' and 'are' in the examples you cite are respectively two distinct
sounds, diphtongs, both identically pronounced as 'air'.

If you walk into a restaurant and order Ch Lynch Bages by name, you are
paying at least $75 in a marginal year and as much as $500 for one
bottle. If you do this without looking at the Wine List you are
extraordinarily stupid, and can only be living on inherited wealth. John
D. Rockefeller counted pennies to his demise; that's why, though
wealthy, he wasn't a rich bitch. You are, obviously.

Some people are smart enough and hard-working enough to make a terrific
living by working. If they choose to splurge on an overpriced bottle of wine
who are you to call them stupid? Looks like a full-blown case of envy to me.
And, by the way, a top-poster calling someone else stupid is like Danny
DeVito calling someone short.

As I said, you are one mindless stupid SOB. What I or anyone pays for a
bottle of wine is in no way an indicator of our intelligence. What you

Sorry, but I am with Keith on this one. I firmly believe that there are people
with more money that brains. There are lots of wealthy morons who will proudly
order "the best" without any idea what they are paying for.

That is a bit of a stretch. There id s huge difference between an overpriced
bottle of imported wine compared to domestic brands and the cost difference
between domestic and imported beers. I drink imported beers almost exclusively.
There is something in domestic beer that disagrees with my system. I also find
the domestic beers to be competitively priced. A bottle of domestic beer here is
roughly $1.50 for a 341 ml bottle while excellent imported beers are $1.75 -
2.25. You get almost 50% more product for roughly 30% higher cost. I have a
number of friends who had been under the impression that my imported beer was more
expensive until I helped them through the math and showed them it was cheaper.

What you say is certainly true, but there are also individuals, wealthy ot
not, who know a great deal about what they are ordering - and in fact that's
why they order it. Your generalization that anyone who orders a pricey wine
by name is a "wealthy moron" is the type of simple-minded generalization
that is indicative of low intelligence combined with envy.

So, you are one of the very same morons who cannot see anyone spending
money to buy good wine. Why is it that self described experts like you
decry anyone enjoying good wine.

Your observation is most shortsighted. How about your take on people
buying top of the line cars, more house than they could ever need, etc.

Try re-reading what I said., that there are lots of wealthy morons who will proudly
order "the best" without knowing what they are paying for. There are a lot of
qualities in fine wines that most people cannot detect. People who are really into
good wines read a lot about the stuff, visit wineries, go to tastings and try to
learn about the fine art of wine making. The know what they are drinking. There
there are the moneyed louts who go into restaurants and order "the best", and I
doubt that they can tell you what it is about that wine that makes it the best.

It's pretty much the same. They like to show off. Have you never seen people with
huge yachts who have to hire someone to drive them?

Well (duh) of course! What's the point of having a luxurious yacht if you
cannot relax and enjoy yourself while under way, but have to be glued to the
wheel.

I have a case of 70, a case of 82, and various bottles before and after.
What the hell does that say? Nothing much. You just don't walk into a

and the price.
