Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, “sudo apt install wine” and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit.

Do I need to install both 64 and 32bit versions? Or is just using “install wine” sufficient?

    I strolled in here cracking my knuckles, ready to bestow upon you all my experience as a sommelier, only to be disappointed.

    If you would like a good wine pairing for “disappointment and frustration,” let me know.

      What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *

        For that, I’d recommend a rich, full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon. Its bold flavors can help distract and provide a comforting contrast to those emotions. Plus, a good wine can turn any mood around.

        How much would you like to spend on a bottle?

            Oh, I thought you were going to say like under $10.

            if $100 is cheap for you… you should probably hire someone to come in and supply your wine cellar with a good selection. There are also many apps you can use to catalog this selection and use it to get food pairings.

              Nah man, real wine is luxury and one hundred a month is cheap, people use that much on subscription services like spotify, hbo and such, i can use this money on a bottle instead, if you can offer something under 10 that will rival my mixing skills, i would be very glad and happy, truly, i mean, it’s good to have good wine regularly and not just one bottle per month

                If your pallet is $100, I can offer you very little at $10 that will excite you. Maybe… $50 could satisfy. Most of what I would recommend is for the layman. I assume anyone willing to drop cash knows what they’re buying and why, not just to spend money.

                That said, the best wine I’ve ever had was $300 for the bottle, retail. It was truly an experience. Not every wine is worth the price, but the higher up you go the harder it is for a shitty wine to pop up.

      What do you recommend on the rosé front?

        I think if you want a rosé, the safe bet is Whispering Angel. It’s priced around $20 depending on where you get it from. Always serve it chilled. It’s a great summer wine for that reason. Serve it with your grilled seafood and vegetables. It will also go well with a light pasta sauce like pesto or lemon garlic. I like it with most any soft cheese, with some fruit, to complement the floral flavors. While you can have nuts, it is not really in that perfect flavor zone.
