Being a lover or red wine and all things champagne one of my favorite ice breakers is bringing a bottle of wine when meeting new friends. What are your favorite beverage choices?

I had a "friend" over recently and the two of us killed a bottle of Patron together, it was a very enjoyable evening.

the nectar of the Goddess Venus of course ...ah, make that a double please!

it just seems that most of us can enjoy those, whereas other liquors seem to be more of a risk when it comes to different palates.

When a lady is visiting me at my hotel I always ask if she likes to sip a little wine as we get to know each other. If so , what is her preference , wine : white or red , Champaign : dry or sweetish.....any fave labels ?

normally I will provide a nice bottle of Moet Brut unless my provider request something else.
Recently had a lovely lady in Vegas that liked Bailey's on the rocks which I like as a night cap but too fattening for regular consumption. Like Scotch is not fattening!

But if the lady has a special request that will be my favorite for time being (even if it's moscato for chrissakes).

I do a lot of early morning sessions so then just water is fine, maybe coffee or latte for her. If later in the day and it's warm, like now, a light white wine or sparking wine hits the spot. In cooler weather red wine is good.  Sometimes I mix it up and bring ingredients for something like margaritas, or sometimes the health-oriented ladies will mix up a smoothie for us.

Champagne seems to be the choice of over half the gals I know.

her choice of beverage.  

Omar's dad was a vintner.

but I have also introduced a lady or two to Guinness and it seemed to be a hit.  Champagne is always nice for celebrating a special occasion.

Cabs and merlot also have been been responded to positively as well.

And I pay them back for their thoughtful reading skills

in the Detroit area, anyways

besides fish fuck in it and who wants a mouthful of fish jizz?

I'm into the reds.  Bold notes, fruity tones, I love them all.   I'll go positively weak in the knees and  swoon for a killer cab or lovely pinot.   I have an extensive collection and often bring a pretty fabulous bottle to a date if the fellow didn't have time.  I'm good for about one solid glass over several hours since I'm such a lightweight I will feel a light buzz, but can have maybe two if I'm dining as well over the course of an evening.  My body can't take hard liquor because it hits me like a mack truck, and I'll swing from the chandeliers.    Which upon thinking about might be really attractive to some dates.

I am immensely grateful to the sweetie who gifted me a bottle of Appleton Estate 21 year rum. I will savor every last drop. Still, I can't help but drool at the thought of Appleton's Jamaica 50 Reserve. I'd do so so much for a shot, or even a lick...

White wine because I'm not a fan of read. I love beer but it's too heavy (and burpy lol) to share with clients. Champagne is good too. I always bring an Arnold Palmer (from Arizona Iced Tea) and some peanut butter cups!!
