Of course, there are excellent beers, some complex ones, and also thousands of different ways of brewing. Excellences that also exist with distillates, although I do not consider that there is a point of comparison either. In addition, beer consumption times are longer. People use it as an overwhelming excuse to socialize. Lunch, beer. Aperitif, beer. Food, beer. Snack, beer. Dinner, beer. Night out, beer. There is no filter for beer. It is valid for any time of the day, largely due to its lower alcohol level. Furthermore, except on rare occasions, there is no special association between beer and food in search of enhancing flavors. In general, with beer we look for specific, ephemeral, simple moments that do not go beyond that playful moment or as a snack in the heat. Wine, on the other hand, is much more selective and complex.
Something similar happens with distillates, although many of them have a complexity that can be close to that of wine. Although, those have a much smaller purpose, due to their high alcohol content. Spirits reign supreme over mealtimes or in the quiet of the night, with a book, a bonfire or simply with music. In this way, its scope is minimized compared to that of wine, which is positioned between beer in abundance and the minimum moments of distillates.
Without intending to be arrogant, I consider that those who drink wine have a very different sensitivity to the consumer of beer or spirits. The depth of analysis goes much further, as it values much more the infinite circumstances that revolve around the production of wine and that are linked to the interaction of heaven and earth. Now I won’t be the one to say what people have to drink. Let everyone enjoy what they like most, of course!
