Always thought the wine thing was poncey and fake, until I was stopping in a hotel in Anan when I was 28. The hotel bar had 170 different whiskies on offer. After getting totally wrecked on 70 shilling I asked the barman why so many whiskies and he gave me some spiel about peaty soil, sandy soil, oak casks and the like. I said go on then give us your best one, to which he replied. Fuck off to bed and if you are still alive tomorrow I'll educate your small English brain to the delights of a good Scottish Malt. The old twat had at least 40 years on me but he looked a mean fucker so I sloped off to bed, the next 4 nights he was true to his word and I was well educated in the finer points of Scotch . Now I have around 80 bottles from various distillery's and I can bore the arse off the best of wine buffs. Oh and the best whiskey he had was £80 a shot, so fair play to the old guy, he could of stung me for £80 when I was pissed but he didn't.
