 JayRoot22.com here with the cheap wine reviews I think it's episode 19 it's like 40 degrees where I'm filming so I'm gonna put this oversized down jacket on like Mr. Effin Rogers. Okay so today's gonna be sort of a like a bittersweet kind of day for this video this is the season finale we're going on a hiatus here for the cheap wine reviews vlog 19 episodes in let me give you a little explanation why first before we taste this last bottle of El Chippo wine and by the way it's an Italian wine we got it Wegmans for six bucks it's probably gonna taste like crap I'm not a big fan of Italian wine but anyway without losing track here I've been drinking red wine prolifically for the past god knows I don't know five to seven to eight years maybe my guess is the equivalent of maybe between three and 400 bottles this size in at least a year and it was great it's a good buzz it's my favorite buzz it's it's always been my my preferred alcohol you know over beer beer gives you a happy buzz but then you get bloated and you're gassy and some people can't burp like me and it's just problems and it's too much sugar and your blood whatever and then booze you know like like a vodka or a tequila or something like that they're very good for your health quote-unquote but it's not a happy buzz it's it really isn't so wine was that was perfect but however in the last six to twelve months or so I've noticed liver pain like it's uncomfortable and I'm not sure exactly why whether it's just I'm drinking too much or is it some sort of pesticides in the cheap wines that we drink or is it sulfites I don't know some something made my something in my internal organs unhappy and before I'm like carted off and put on the ground six feet under I just said let me try something else so I've been experimenting with these these cheap these these seltzers I did a review about seltzers I think I did a review about these truly wines to these truly seltzers which we don't really like I said that it kind of made you feel like it was soul-sucking but I would drink them you know what like I wouldn't really water them down and these truly I'm not a big fan of them they're very popular I think they're the most popular ones they're not they're not very good I only bought it because I sort of had to to get this case discount but anyway for the last five weeks I've only drank wine four times and each time I drank even one and a half to two so I think I had three bottles once I was I had a crazy night but the four times in the last five weeks I drank red wine I didn't feel good the next day it wasn't a hangover the hangover part was was was okay most at a time maybe once I had a hangover where I couldn't manage it too well but there was something going on like my liver was talking to me you got to listen to your body and I decided to switch to the smirnoff spiked sparkling seltzers because number one I water them down this is a mason jar this is something else that you're gonna find out about these sparkling seltzers that is fantastic with red wine you don't really want to other than watering it down you don't want to like adulterate the wine like add anything to it maybe a sparkling like a seltzer like a plain sparkling water like a pariet or something give it that spritzer effect but with the sparkling seltzers these malted beverages I stick I pour a capsule of ginger inside I put lemon juice in and I make it like it's actually medicinal at that point the ginger is great it's great for overall health but one of the benefits of drinking these seltzers like I don't drink them out of the can and most people drink them out of a can like a beer which is fine you can't water a beer then it'll taste raw but these spiked sparkling seltzers or whatever you want to call them spiked and sparkling they all have a different name but they're all spiked spiked is in the title of every one you can like like like become a like a like a mixologist and add things to it like I did with it with the ginger and the lemon and sometimes I put hyaluronic acid in it helps your joints I mean you could make little medicinal drinks and by watering it down these are 12 ounce cans it's a 32 ounce mason jar you throttle your alcohol consumption way better than wine is wine you can only dilute it so much I've mentioned in previous videos where there were some wines I think one of the most recent wines I drank I could water it down almost three to one and it maintained its its deep dark red color and had really good taste and so on even though it was a lower alcohol percentage it was 13. something percent it held up well being diluted now there's something like this I was gonna end the wine series or wine season because I may start drinking wine again maybe in the summer of 2019 but this saddle bread sellers if you look to search for saddle bread sellers on either YouTube or our website njrude22.com and you'll see that this was absolutely my favorite straight-up wine to drink like with no dilution just in a in a glass and I was going to open this up tonight to sign off this the cheap wine series but I'm gonna save it I'm gonna save it for if I go out to eat somewhere if I just want to have a nice dinner with just a glass or two of wine this is my favorite 12% straight-up drinking wine it really had the best flavor for us you know that's everybody's different so with that being said even though I'm probably like four cans of spiked seltzer in I'm gonna do it like a cardinal sine I'm gonna mix my seltzer beverage now I'm gonna finish this let's just say the final review in this series is gonna be the bartoneura it's an Italian red wine out of Italy of course and it says it's a medium intensity red color violet shades fruity berry notes lingering bouquet that's why my significant other said she doesn't like Italian wines because of the flowery effects I might not like it either but I'm gonna open this bad boy up and have a sip a regular sip in the glass and then I'm gonna pull if I don't completely hate I'm gonna make a final drink here and I'll just give the rest of this bottle away to someone wants it in my house I mean I'm not this isn't a giveaway it's not an online giveaway so I'm gonna open up this crappy Italian $6 bottle of wine from Whiteman's I mean they apparently curate their wines but I bet you it's a there's a financial decision involved in it to profit for the company I mean they wouldn't sell these things for six bucks unless they got them for like a dollar and my guess is I've seen some of the profit margins some of these wine guys it smells like wine smells like a wine barrel doesn't look all that great that has a brown tinge to it but I'm gonna taste it in this thing just the way they still stupid people like everybody copies everybody else I mean why can't I just drink it out of the bottle why does it have to be in a glass no it opens up in this and I I watched a movie by the way I'm gonna do a review about this movie it was called blood into wine or something like that it was a documentary it was sort of a funny documentary with the lead singer of tool that like metal that alternative progressive metal kind of banned who I really like and I haven't followed him in long time but this guy that he started his own winery he kind of added a new perspective to the wine and and the way they treated the wine review was like that suckling guy they kind of mocked him and he's like we like it just because you're used to a cab in in California or Europe or wherever doesn't mean just because you have something new it's bad in the same way with us we decided to take our wines could we we said the wines to us we didn't care about the subtle differences it was like a 1% importance when you think about it it was how we felt the next day based on like a decent amount of drinking and we tried to be consistent with the drinking two bottles was for us and then towards like after I did a dozen episodes of this I started thinking man maybe I should be a one and a half bottle guy and like two bottles was nice and even so I'm gonna taste this bar tenora let's see it smells like wine that's a little bit of a vinegary very light no texture probably a good wine for dilution summer drink you know we used to make fun of a friend of mine because he would drink this El Chippo Chianti as Jim Carrey would say in Dumb and Dumber he would drink it and it was the cheapest double bottle of wine ever but maybe he was on something because he got the same damn buzz and passed out the exact same way but anyway you should watch that blood I think it was called blood into wine is the documentary it's hard to find you could find it for free on YouTube it has subtitles I think Spanish or some other country and it has really low resolution I think 240p resolution so it's not not very nice to look at but it's a very good documentary you appreciation for certain winemakers not not the snooty people who hop knob around and really can think they know the difference between wine but it did actually shed some light on on how wine is made and and how they they come up with blends and they'll taste like a like if it's a it's a single grape wine they'll say well it's missing this thing to make it like a better tasting wine to them so they'll take like you know that makes 70% cab and then they'll find a wine that's strong in another area like let's say one wine one grape has a like a good forward taste but it's missing as they say the the finish and but they found a wine grape that has like sort of a weak opening taste but it finishes extremely strong so they'll experiment they'll say okay 70% cab and and 30% will take this this sara grape wow that really does balance right I guess there's some what do you call it merit to how some people like wine and the winemaker is the ultimate decision this is why I think the lead singer of tool and his partner were or they did their way they made a one that they liked and whether their customers and they only made a couple thousand cases whether their customers like it or not he's up to the customers but I guess when you make something you have to be happy with it yourself not just well you don't have to be happy you just want what I'm trying to say is that I guess it makes the way maker of something feel good about their product if they like it may not be good for business per se if you make something let's say you like shit and you like nasty things and 90% of the people don't like it but you if you want to make those 10% of the people who have the similar taste zone as you do happy then then great I guess most people try to make make an accessible wine that everybody can can like I don't know I mean it's like common denominator stuff I know maybe this bartoneur wine is very clean it's a 13 and a half percent I have to add which is impressive for a Italian wine they're normally in a 12 12% range and for 6 bucks you really can't go wrong you know speaking of economics here these these cases of the 12 packs of the sparkling salt seltzers they normally run I pay 15 bucks a case which I did the math I calculated alcohol percentage it's about you know give or take half a can every six cans of the smirnoff for instance equals about the same amount of alcohol as a bottle of wine so a case or 12 pack of these equals a double bottle of wine and I've been really good I can drink between four sometimes I go four cans and I'm tired and I want to go to sleep I fall asleep great it's like a little bit of a sedative obviously and you know because if you were a regular drinker and you go a night in the city drink ten nights in a row and then that 11th night you don't feel like drinking it's hard to fall asleep it truly is I think your body becomes dependent on on the sedative nature of the alcohol and that probably means you have a problem I try to treat my life like a dog I mean I'm gonna go to sleep when I'm or baby I'm gonna I'm gonna fall asleep and I'm tired I'm like and I'm gonna wake up without an alarm clock when I wake up that's how I've lived my life probably for the last 15 years or so rarely do I use an alarm clock unless there's one of those rare moments where I have an early meeting I have to go to jury duty or something stupid like that which I hate I hate having to get up early so that's it so here's what we're gonna do I should have mentioned this in the beginning but I'm not gonna stop doing videos on Monday these are my Monday movie pictures or Monday I don't know I'm gonna call it yet but each Monday instead of having a cheap wine reviews there's gonna be I'm probably gonna come up with three two or three or four different categories to film there's either helpful things that we're gonna try and and share with people that I might make 30 second clips and maybe two minute clips that nothing's gonna go rambling on 20 30 minutes like I've been doing with these wine cheap wine reviews it's gonna be a whole lot less off-the-cuff speaking and a little bit more like specific I'm gonna do helpful things that that might might benefit you and none of this is influenced by any other youtubers or any other people out there maybe maybe not but most likely not and I think I'm gonna talk about some things that really bother us about the world in terms of the shoddiness of products and and things out there that just have gone down hill noticeably in the last two five ten fifteen twenty years we're gonna talk about how things have gotten cheaper more disposable and show the hypocrisy perhaps like for instance like how they make our plastic bags are thinner but now you can't even put like a walnut in a plastic bag and you need to double bag it so like a lot of it is so silly and no one really talks about it how like they do things to like appease like the environmentalists yet they don't ever the environmentalists never come back and say why why it's so cheap and now we need two bags they're probably gonna start complaining about that next on two bags is too much but so I'm gonna I got helpful things that little tips I might do product reviews I'm gonna do things that we've no I have to come up with names for these channels cheap stuff or shoddy things and I know a lot of people don't like hearing about negative but if I can figure out a way to turn it into a positive like you need to understand we need to call out the things that have gone downhill over the years because it then customer like us we're the ones that are suffering as a result and no one seems to be complaining because I guess they're teaching people complaining is bad these days no complaining is good speaking your mind is good so I think that's it this bartendura bartendura bartendura product of Italy it's not a bad it's not a bad wine like I said I've only drank wine four times in the last five weeks and each time was pretty much I felt bad so this is it I'm not I'm not drinking anymore this I mean it's nice to have the wine taste in my mouth again there's something inherently satisfying about my wine concoctions here and I'm gonna make sure that the audio is is it on yeah it's on good you don't know how many videos I lost because I just I just wasn't paying attention this mic this boom mic I have on my 10-year-old DSLR DSLR is there you can't see the green light if it's on or not it should be on in the front but whatever it's made in China it's a knock off and it was like 15 bucks so I'll take what I can get so that's it this is the final cheap wine reviews vlog for this season I might come back if I can find clean wines maybe I'll just talk about clean wines that don't hurt my liver they have sulfite free wines I've tried a few of them they're not good they're not enjoyable to me at least and maybe I'll just have to just go to I'll be a one-bottle guy once I get get off the liver pain wagon I'll just I'll do my seltzers for the foreseeable future because I think there's something very that like beneficial about the way we drink them like I said if I drank these like a beer if I drank these smirnoff things like a beer I would suck them down like ridiculously fast and I could easily polish a 12 pack without even trying because 12 ounces one sip two sip you have two three ounces left and like you pop it no drinking in a quart size is what helps curtail the consumption of alcohol and I think it's also still enjoyable you get like a really slow buzz it's it's not even the same kind of buzz as a one I go stupefied sometimes trippy not trippy I literally trip I destroyed our dog fence today it was a complete accident I had to go buy a new one anyway bad nothing to do with drinking by the way it was just a bad like went this Thursday whenever I'm filming this it was just a weird day for a lot of people I talked to as well but that's it so cheap wine reviews signing off for this season we're taking a hiatus as they say while the actors film go film major motion pictures somewhere that's what they used to say when when a when a TV series went on hiatus because they were doing other things whatever I'll save this for a nice dinner I might have another glass this is actually pretty good I don't know if like drinking seltzer mixing with this has anything to do it but it's it's a good it's not as floral and bouquet as as they make it seem back down when I have another glass that before I open up another shelter so maybe even finish the bottle and I'll feel like crap tomorrow so there you go new videos coming every Monday for the foreseeable future I'm gonna join and condensate it to two to three to four categories so it's not gonna be like a new video next week it's gonna be we're gonna have a new video but we're not sure what category is I may do 10 weeks in a row of cheap stuff for a week of product recommendations a week like I'll just go back and forth so that's it thanks for watching for the three people that watched I ramble a lot I don't edit this is one take that's how it works here and I hope you can follow me maybe my personality is charming enough for some people to understand the power of just free thought and non-scripted life you know what I mean enjoy the rest of your week
