Sorry lady, but he is right.

there are 2000 chemical componentes (i mean components and not ingredients!) in wine and 8000 in beer! so the more complex drink is beer. and beer is not primitive, the pharaos in egypt drank it they payd the workers with beer and if you are really interested in beer you find out that there are almost more sorts of beer and so beer is the most complex drink with the most components ever.

i studied chemistry so i know what i`m talkin about.

Both. Great beer is still much cheaper than great wine, so beer wins for now.

Beer is better then wine, wine is rotten grape juice, beer is a complex concoction made to please your taste buds.

"Take it to the audience- which kind of audience?- Wine isn't more refined. I just has more "prestige"- that's the only thing. Beer is more complex, it ranges from sweet, bitter, sometimes acidic, alcoholic (alcohol content from about 0 to 25) There are less beer connaisseurs, I admit- but wine tasters can only give a comment which is worth after tasting dozens of beers- which wine enthusiast has? Not many!

[Jhorus20]

A very interesting input from Marnie Old: "This is how I get to teach how superior wine really is at the end of the day". This quote just speaks for itself. Indeed, after a thousand beer and wine samplings- I can definately say- beer has a lot more complexity. Dogfish head is amongst the best breweries worldwide to prove this. It produces fantastic beers! Considering complexity, especially inviduality, flavor profile, color, taste, palate, color and invidual impressions- wine falls short

i'm 50/50! Depending on the Dish server, one could only be better than the other, and vice versa. Being totally one sided is pointless when the other side offers a better partner to the dish. What do u guys think?
