Wine/Vape Pairings?

[Electrodave]

I had my usual glass of wine (a nice, dark Malbec) at dinner tonight. Unusually, I still had half a glass left at the end of dinner. Well, we can't waste good wine, right? So I drank some more with the chocolate bar that I had for dessert--most dark reds go well with chocolate. This went very well with the Malbec.

Then I took a hit off my vape. Coconut. Does NOT go well with red wine. It also stays with you for a while. I switched to vanilla, then black currant. I finished my wine. The coconut taste was almost gone, and the black currant went well with the wine's aftertaste.

So there's my first wine/vape pairing. Malbec with black currant.

Does anybody else have a favorite wine/vape pairing?

Does a wine vape count? I'd imagine coconut would have gone better with a white.

I like a mild custard with my Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.

I think something in a 1 gallon box with spigot pairs with most vape juice.

We tend to drink a bottle on the weekends and over the years I haven't found any of my vapes that haven't went well with our fav reds. Perhaps because we mainly vape kind of flavored net tobacco's and not sweet fruity or ice creamy flavors, but it's all pretty much the same, all my juices taste equally as good paired with wine

unflavoured. It goes with everything.

Funny. I was about to say that about Everclear.

Yep, everclear and unflavored vape. Can't beat that.

Menthol?

I generally pair my adult beverages with handcuffs and an eventual court date.

My insides burn just thinking about that.

*edit* Wait a minute! Your everclear is only 151 proof? Ours down in Georgia is 190 or something if memory serves.

My beverage of choice is a lime/raspberry daquiri constituted with 151 rum. I mostly vape fruit flavors, so it all washes down evenly. I've always found wine to be disgusting, and beer only slightly less so. I drank beer for a few years, but there's not return from learning to mix a proper drink. Might as well have grape-stained toes.

I caught that too! I wonder if they have a light grain alcohol law or something where he lives. "Absolutely no more than 75.5% alcohol, or else societal ruin shall ensue!!!"

190 proof is a bit of a fire hazard.

For the true connoisseur:

So...what flavor vape would you pair with Ripple Red?

I would prefer a fine clear VG vape without flavoring, I want nothing between my refined palate and a properly aged Ripple Red.

Interesting fact: vintners have been known to add glycerine to red wines to achieve fuller body and mouthfeel. On the order of 1oz per 5 gallons. As good as vape flavors can be, they don't hold a candle to fine dining, so unflavored VG would be my choice too.

 

[Electrodave]

Sounds like we have a winner with unflavored VG--goes with anything! I might add some nicotine to it as well, along with 1% vodka to keep it flowing.
