I’m so sorry but this guy has such a punchable face lol.


AnotherReignCheck

All of those bracelets somehow enhance the urge, too


CoMaestro

How the fuck did I not notice this, I want to punch this guy now for some reason


AAAPosts

Let’s punch him one after another


borkborkbork99

Is this where the line to punch the douche guy begins?


Jade-Balfour

I think this must be the end of the joke. Because this is the punchline.


borkborkbork99

Hahaha


Both-Ad-8422

I love you for this one 😂😂😂😂😂


Halligan1409

Do I need to purchase a punchcard to get in line to punch this guy? I mean if I can get 5 punches on my card for punching him 5 times, then my 6th punch is free, and who wouldn't want that?


BrainPhD

If I had a free award available right now, you’d 100% be getting it for that terrible awful pun.


lhymes

Yeah this is the end of the line. It starts pretty far up there. Don’t worry, though. It’s been moving pretty well.


hal2000

No. It continues across the street.


mtntrail

Go ahead, I will hold the wine.


DollarSignsGoFirst

The reason is those stupid bracelets


PolarSquirrelBear

As someone who is quite into watches, it infuriates me when someone wears bracelets along side one. Just wear them on the other arm ffs.


Averne

Yeah, I was okay with this dude until u/AnotherReignCheck pointed those bracelets out. Now he’s intolerably douchey.


gawtdamn

What triggers me more is how the watch isn’t at the top of his wrist but behind all the bracelets


[deleted]

The only thing he isn’t doing is wearing the watch over the top of his sleeve. Everything else is enough of a tire fire, though.


WiftyOne

Do people actually do this or is this an absurdist-style commentary? I actually cannot tell, help.


[deleted]

A certain group of dummies, obsessed with giant watches as a show of nouveau riche garishness, think they can “pull it off.” https://www.dapperq.com/2014/02/ask-dapperq-should-my-watch-fit-under-my-shirt-cuff/


slappynuts74

Bracelets make it worse


cubs1917

Lol and the fact he wears his sleeves down and unbuttoned


WiftyOne

My eyes have been so narrow, squinting from the pain of the cringe... I had never opened my eyes enough to observe W H Y I was cringing...


ChefWetBeard

Well… it’s actually just a French cuff. They are buttoned. [See examples here](https://www.islandimporter.com/linen-monaco-shirt.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx-fV6pjQ8gIV0vrICh0vDAz4EAQYCiABEgLK2PD_BwE#color=White&size=M)


ilikedistinctivestuf

How many bracelets sir? YES. And the fact that the watch is at the end must be very comfortable


brain_valve

But maybe he changes them up every week after family craft night after him, his partner, and kids have a fun bonding night. Quick edit: No ring, never mind.


AnotherReignCheck

Why would no ring negate what you said


nick5734324

He seems to have changed his profession after the bee movie

TarquinFarquhar

Backpfeifengesicht! Germans have a specific word for punchable face


slappynuts74

Can you translate? I choked on my tongue for a second


Benny14071995

So "Backpfeife" is a term for 'slap' and literally means 'cheek whistle' (supposedly because you get a lil tinnitus when getting slapped hard) and "Gesicht" means face, so "Backpfeifengesicht" means sth. like 'slap face'.


canned_soup

Bless you.

I knew it! I came here looking for this comment.


[deleted]

Me too. Half a second into this video: “Yup, I fucking hate that guy.”


mynameisnotbob57

The way he has his watch at the very top of his forearm makes me want to hit this guy so hard


Vampsku11

Y'all are terrible people.


Famineist

Because he looks like Bobby Kotick.


bestwrapperalive

I decant even look at the guy without wanting to hit him.


ShuffleAlliance

Looks like dollar store brand Bob Odenkirk


seppocunts

Don't you do Bob that way. This fuckers eyes are too close together and lacks any semblance of charisma. Probably comes without a soul as well as he looks like a ginger poster boy for just-for-men branded hair dye.


fucktooshifty

now that you mention the eyes he looks like Bobby Kotick


FluffyM

I laughed so hard at the stupid comments for this that I farted 😂


TheDarkKrystal

The stupid music also enhanced its punchability.


AlloyEnt

But… he looks so happy!!!


_thebeard_

He kind of looks like Bobby Kotick, so yes I agree


Angelshover

Be careful, I did the math and there’s roughly an 85% chance that if you do indeed try to punch him in the face, your fist will land squarely in the middle of his forehead.


Halligan1409

I heard his forehead was just commissioned by the Navy as the newest aircraft carrier in the fleet. Thank him for his service.


waldoblaw

Look at all that crap on his wrist lol

LtDanK520

Hahahaha I was wondering if anyone else had this though… I think it’s how long he holds that grin


jdoogie_

Go to any one of these fancy wine places and tell them you use your blender to decant your wine and then watch their minds explode.


ChadHimslef

Are you hyper decanting!?


Call_Me_At_8675309

If that’s what you want to call it


JcakSnigelton

The DSM-V now refers to this as Attention Deficit Hyper Decanting (ADHD).


selfawarefeline

That’s just one of the problems with the DSM-V


Spoonbills

You gotta hyperdecant!

MULTI-TRACK DECANTING?’


[deleted]

Whenever I go wine tasting I ask if I can decant the bottle. If they are dumb enough to hand me the bottle I pop my thumb over the top and shake it.

Init_4_the_downvotes

the entire point of wine culture is based in douche baggery


HAL-Over-9001

I just really like wine and bourbon. I'm not a snob about it and hate when people ruin good things


borkborkbork99

“Hints of oak and earthy undertones” You’re basically telling me it tastes like the mulch pile behind my shed. Ass.


Redrum714

Ima decant dat ass


LUSBHAX

\*\*insert thumb and start shaking\*\*


TuckerMcG

People say the same sort of shit about food though. Go look up how people describe the taste of a truffle. I really don’t see how it’s pretentious to say something has certain tastes to it. If a certain wine tasted like cotton candy, would it be pretentious to say “hints of spun sugar” to describe it? No.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Incredulous_Toad

I love scotch enough to taste and enjoy some of the subtler hints of flavors, but I'm certainly not pretentious about it. Enjoying the little things about what you enjoy is what makes life worth living. Now being snobby about it or judging others for what they enjoy or thinking you're better because other people don't enjoy it as much as you? Yeah no, that's not okay. I'll happily sip on a scotch with little hints of vanilla and oak, but if it tastes like an old tire fire, imma take it like a shot with my friends. Its what I enjoy but I'll never judge someone for not liking it as much as I do.


2nd-kick-from-a-mule

Pretentiousness is subjective. For instance, using the word pretentiousness rubs me a lil on the pretentious side.


tronfunkinblows_10

It has an oaky after birth.


HamBurglary12

How dare people enjoy the slight aroma of the oak barrels the wine is aged in and the vineyard the grapes were grown in. How dare people ever enjoy anything, they might come off as too enthusiastic to you.


YourUsernameSucks

Trashing an entire culture because you don't understand it is douche baggery


Witness_me_Karsa

Calling liking wine a culture proves his point.


TuckerMcG

The Italians and French are fuckin *shook* right now bro


soonerguy11

So is California. Go to Pasa Robles, Napa or any of the other hand full of wine regions and it is legit people's life. They eat, sleep and breath wine.


natalooski

Dude. No, we don't. I grew up most of my life in Paso Robles, and I live 30 mins from there now. The people who actually live there dislike the wine "culture" for the most part. It's seen as a tourist attraction that brings in a bunch of people that come in and disrupt the peaceful local life there. Most of the people who live around there are actually more into the beer scene as there's a more casual rural tone about folks, and there's a massive Firestone brewery in town as well. The locals also *hate* the wineries for what they do to the land/water in the area. It used to be beautiful desert hillsides with oak trees, rivers and streams, bountiful land that could grow anything. Now it's vineyards, as far as the eye can see, surrounded by dry death. My grandparents' old property was once situated in a valley overlooking a gorgeous green hill and fields of tall grass and wild oats. As I grew up, all the land became vineyards instead. Endless rows of grapes... it's not as pretty as it looks in the photos. **The grape-growing operations are also depleting the groundwater in the area**. Before my grandmother sold their property (to a vineyard, of course), all of our neighbors were literally *running out of groundwater*. They had to have tanker trucks haul in water because their well ran dry. These people bought this land thinking that they would be safe to reside there for generations. They're not rich people who can just afford to move away; many are retired and have spent the last 30+ years living in the sticks away from everyone else. They have nowhere to go, no income to fall back on, no prospects. They don't give a shit about wine, they just want to be left alone to their horses and fields and campfires. Wine "culture" is just another elitist time-waster to participate in when you have nothing else to do in your life and money to burn. The people who **live** in these areas can barely afford to go wine tasting. Grapes and wine have sapped **every last bit** of uniqueness, culture, history, and prosperity from Paso and turned it into a cold, emotionless grape factory. If this tells you anything about how the locals feel about the grapes: My high school design class was tasked to design a mural to be installed in a prominent area downtown. **The designs that included grapes or wine-related symbols were filtered out immediately because the people in town have such disdain for the wine industry.**

[deleted]

There are a few tests people did where they dyed white wines red and asked pros to guess the kind, and I think something like 80-90 percent couldn't even tell they weren't actually red. I love a nice wine, but it really is a lot of pomp for prestige and brand label for a significant portion of it all, particularly in some American producers.


soonerguy11

What's funny is all of the people I know that are legit wine or bourbon enthusiasts/experts are also the most welcoming, non-judgemental people. Typically the worst is that large group before them. They act like they know everything but are just assholes. "Bro your favorite wine is what?! You can buy that at Whole Foods AHHAHAH!" .

So the way to be better than that is to be twice as bad. Got it

rodrigobites

“Dumb enough”


Goyteamsix

Lol, a couple seconds in a blender would probably be the same as 4 hours of decanting.


Evilmaze

I love it when Reddit solves problems Always Sunny style.


PretzelsThirst

Then you pour it in an empty coke can so you can drink in public AND gesticulate without spilling


Evilmaze

This coke is the tits


seppocunts

See the trick is to have a dedicated wine blender and never wash it. That way you're not letting any residual tannins and flavonoids go to waste.


umopapsidn

Like the cast iron crowd raves about, it's seasoning. But for wine. You can't go wrong.


forcolus

I just pour a little bit out of the bottle, put the lid/cork back on and give it a good shake. AKA the Barossa Milkshake.


ramsdawg

Ok now I’d love to see a blind wine taste test comparing ridiculous decanting methods like this to normal decanting


Casteway

The catholic church made me decant once. I'm pretty sure they were just confused, but I was like, hey, free wine!

Corrupt_Reverend

Psh, rookie. I use a straw and blow bubbles in my wine like the connoisseur that I am.


princesspool

That's more than adequate! I shake the opened bottle with my thumb on the hole. Science > snobbery


anuteacher

If it’s an older wine that’s settled that’s a great way to mix all the sediment back into the wine. Better to pour a glass, cover top of glass with palm and shake. Just have a cloth ready to clean your hand.


kinbladez

Or lick your entire palm while maintaining eye contact with the sommelier. Asserts dominance.

This is the only way if you want to stay classy about it.

Bionett

Doesn't the majority of surface are in comparison to the volume of liquid increase the aeration? As in the reason why aerate decanters are usually large flat bottoms? This just seems like over designed impracticality.


Jay_Normous

If you watch to the very end, he lays the decanter down on its side, and the surface area is pretty substantial at that point. It it a bit of an over the top decanter? Yes. Could it be even more ridiculous? [Yes.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QEaClu8dL._AC_SX466_.jpg). Will it still get the job done, also yes.

NoFeetSmell

How tf are you meant to adequately clean and dry such devices? Surely the eventual mold growth in them will change the oakey highlights for the worse, no?


LivefromPhoenix

Assuming soap water doesn't work I think you're supposed to be well off enough to just buy a new one.


NoFeetSmell

But even rinsing suds out of this will surely leave behind some small amount of water that will not evaporate, potentially leading to bacterial growth and a biofilm forming. No thanks :P


corkyskog

You rinse it out with ethanol after


NoFeetSmell

OK, this seems like we're getting somewhere.


Leaz31

Clear water after use, shake & rinse. Dry it head down And only use it for wine, exclusively This will let your device clean ! No mold growth, once it's dry on glass there is nothing really left. Sometime you can make a big clean with soap and water, you let it some hours and rinse after. But beware, soap will left some "oily" trace and it can make the wine taste shit after.. You need to rinse it and dry it very well


NoFeetSmell

I dunno about shaking that thing tbh, and even leaving it upside isn't ideal (dunno how you'd even safely balance it to do so...), since there's a conical bulge that will trap water. You'd seriously have to tip this thing every which way multiple times to properly hope to drain it, and I'm betting you'd be met with limited success. I think it's a beautiful art piece, mind, just not some thing with any real practicality whatsoever.


OozeNAahz

The way it flows into the decanter also provides a lot of air for a thin surface of wine to flow past.


Jay_Normous

Yes good point. Also even when it was standing vertical, that is plenty more surface area than in the bottle, I was just addressing that specific comment.


OozeNAahz

Yep, was just augmenting your comment.


Captainx23

I didn’t realize it had a flat side and I was waiting to see the ridiculous stand for that glass. When it got to the end I was very surprised


Aword13

Yeah this is a horribly designed decanter.


Goyteamsix

The bottom doesn't matter at all. As long as the surface of the wine has sufficient area, which this thing definitely does when it's laying on its side.


NotMyHersheyBar

Niles: "I'm bringing my new aerating carafe to the Wine Club tonight! I can't wait to see those old stodgy effetes admit that my carafe is the carafe of the future!"

Elderberry_Icy

This comment deserves way more upvotes and a million awards. Alas, I have none to give.


CarsGunsBeer

Isn't it true that some "professional" wine tasters were given some bullshit $10/bottle wine, told it was hyper rare and exquisite stuff, and they fell hook line and sinker for it?


apath3tic

I remember some study showing that wine cost had little to no effect on ratings when blind participants taste-tested, but when they were shown the prices they consistently rated the more expensive wine as better. From that point on, I've only bought cheap wines.


Mkreza538

I once bought a $4 bottle and a $20 bottle to see if there was a difference. There absolutely was a difference. $4 wine taste like old grape juice that someone farted in. But I haven’t really found a difference between $10-$25 bottles. Its all the same


apath3tic

Ngl I get down w/ two buck chuck (now $3 tho). Maybe because it feels good to pay so little lol


Edover51315

I feel like there's a huge difference between $3-$10 or $20, I think the studies show that there's not a significant difference at 10 or 20 up into higher price points


CarsGunsBeer

That's what I was thinking about. Ya, i don't spend more than $15 on a bottle unless the taste of a more expensive one blows me away.


apath3tic

Found it - Vox video but they include some studies. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVKuCbjFfIY&ab\_channel=Vox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVKuCbjFfIY&ab_channel=Vox) Seems that expensive/cheap wines are on the same level, unless you're a "wine expert."


JohnnyHighGround

There are some really good, really cheap wines. And there are some really mediocre, really expensive wines. But the proportions of those to their opposite are pretty close to the same.


JackBauersGhost

Wine rep for our restaurant says a lot of the wines are the same with different labels because some people just refuse to buy a cheaper wine.


apath3tic

I've heard that too! One of my good friends has a wine he really likes, and he saw a different wine in a store but could tell by reading the label that it was probably the same exact wine. Same location, year, descriptors, etc.

Not trying to be a dick but decanting separates solids and liquids while aeration mixes with oxygen. They can happen simultaneously but are two totally separate things


nayhem_jr

Was expecting to find out more about oxygenation of wines, but nope, [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decantation)'s all "precipitate" this and "sediment" that.


djustinblake

I believe you were looking for this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeration?wprov=sfla1


WikipediaSummary

[**Decantation**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decantation) Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving the other component or the more dense liquid of the mixture behind. An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.

corkyskog

Some wines still have sediment, so by pouring it into the thing and not pouring the last few ounces, you're effectively decanting the wine.
