We make most of the wine we drink, and about half of the beer we drink, so it's kinda hard to figure out what we spend on wine and beer. I guess I could do it, but I'd rather not know, as we enjoy our wine and beer, and we can afford it. I generally drink a couple glasses of wine with dinner every day (usually a red wine), while DW will typically have one glass. We each typically drink one good craft beer after dinner (we make mostly IPAs, some pale ales). We don't drink much hard liquor, but we will on occasion have a gin and tonic on a warm summer day.
The wines we make are from local fruit that I pick around here (some grapes, but lots of other small fruits as well), and in my opinion it is very good. I can certainly enjoy a bottle of good wine from the market also, but we don't really buy that much wine anymore. We make only dry wines (all the sugars are fermented out)..........nothing sweet at all.
A glass of good red wine really enhances a meal, at least for me. My father-in-law introduced me to the practice of enjoying wine with meals many years ago, and I was hooked after that
