We have to admit, as far as Wine FAQs go, actor Luke Perry’s is one for the books:
“Why do you guys drink that shit? It tastes horrible!”
Hey, that’s a totally legitimate response. Perry, who was pushing his recent Hallmark Channel movie, Goodnight for Justice, said there are a couple reasons why he’s not into wine.
“I am a beer drinker,” he said. “II can walk you through the finer points of the greater darker ales and the ambers of our time. We’ll talk about it.”
Perry, for the odd one or two of us who don’t know, made his mark in the acting world as bad boy Dylan McKay in the TV series Beverly Hills 90210, that aired through the entire 1990s. He’s done a number of TV movies, including a couple westerns for Hallmark Channel, since then. Goodnight for Justice teamed him up with 90210 classmate Jason Priestly, who directed the film. Alas, Anne felt about the film about the same way Perry feels about wine.
But Perry also said that for some reason, he feels the intoxicating effects of wine more quickly than he does with either beer or single malt scotch.
“And it doesn’t matter if it’s white or red or where I come from, out of a box,” he said. “The deal is when I take two sips of wine, I feel it, so it’s always scared me.”
Part of the problem, Mr. Perry, might be the box stuff. Some of the newer boxes can be pretty durned good, but the old, semi-cheap rotgut that we used to get a buzz on in high school, that may be the source of your quick high. Either way, we loved talking to you.
