It's that time of year when I wave my middle finger at #wine snobs on the Fediverse and unapologetically enjoy some #BeaujolaisNouveau. Yes, I know it's not good wine. But my great uncle always brought some to Thanksgiving, along with every New Yorker cartoon clipped out for me to enjoy. Most 12 year-olds don't laugh at New Yorker cartoons. I realize only in retrospect he was likely neurodivergent and ace and recognized my eccentricities.
Bottoms up, uncle, wherever you are.

And, for the record, there has been at least one complete asshole on the Fedi who decided to lay into me over my enjoyment of Beaujolais Nouveau. He was complete garbage to me, my collection, the wines I've made myself, etc, because apparently you can't have good taste *and* knowingly enjoy a bottle of hastily-made schlock once a year.
People like that need to touch grass, then consider burying themselves under said grass for the benefit of humanity.
Love the #wine you love.

@KatS LOL...I have a few of those, too.
But otherwise, yes, you're right. In fact, sometimes skilled artists make crap on purpose because it was fun to do so, and it's just fine to enjoy the shared humor in doing something schlocky.
As for Beaujolais Nouveau, I understand the history that led to the backlash. But I think the time has come to just freaking let it go.

@roadriverrail That goes for anything else, too.
Having well-developed taste doesn't necessarily mean you always go for the super-refined stuff. It just means you're better equipped to appreciate all of it.
Besides, sometimes the cheap trashy stuff is just plain fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.
:looks back at own dating history:
There isn't always anything wrong with that.
