Wine snobs versus beer snobs

Planning a party used to be simpler — it was important to have a decent bottle of wine or two, in order to avoid judgment, but the beer merely needed to be cold and plentiful.

Now, whether it’s because I’m older or I’m living in the era of craft brews, I find myself spending more time slack-jawed in front of the beer cooler. This, after a quick jaunt to pick up a bottle of wine that will be universally liked and priced between $8.99 and $12.99.

So, it makes me wonder whether beer snobs might officially overtake wine snobs.
