Okay so I’m m25 and I smoke weed pretty much daily. I also work night shift. So when I get home and smoke weed at 7am it’s like 7pm and I go to bed in a couple hours.
Well my boss called me for a conversation on my weekend, and I told him “before we start I just want to let you know I had a few glasses of wine, is this a serious conversation?” It wasn’t lol
I live in a state where weed is legal. But I still feel like saying I’ve drank a few glasses of wine, is a lot better than I just smoked a buttload of weed, fast forward a few months and now he’s sending me wine because he LOVES it and no one else drinks it at work (I think he’s lonely). Well I actually HATE wine, hate the taste of it and smell. I don’t know anyone other than him that likes wine. Now I just have a bunch of wine in my cabinet and I don’t have the guts to tell him I don’t like it.

Idk man id drink it 🤣
Trade the wine for weed.
This is why I just live my life without lying to people 😂
If you don’t like that I smoke weed that’s too bad, I smoke a lot of it 🤷♂️
It’s really nice that he’s sending you wine. It’s great for regifting and bringing to your friends’ homes! Tell him you’ve been getting headaches from the sulfates or are on a new fitness plan where you’ve cut out wine for the sugar and calories.
Tell him you love cash.
classic work related problem right here. im sorry, OP.
Liking wine, like a lot of things in life, is an aquired taste. I didnt like wine growing up, except the few times my parent offered a particular type of wine that fit perfectly with my mom’s spaguethi sauce.
But over time, turned out I love it.
Have you tried any of it? Never know what you may end up liking. Wine is expensive, maybe at the very least mention to him that he’s sent you several and that you have enough supply for months, and that he should stop sending them. No point in him sending all this wine to someone for it to sit in a cabinet lol. Maybe gift them to others too
Ahh haha, that is very sweet of your boss!
I think you have the options of either coming clean to him – who knows, maybe you can laugh about it together – or just keep the bottles to give away to others (as housewarming gifts or something).
re-gift it, free wine is never a bad thing.
Gift it back during the holidays. He will like it so much he will gift you back barrels.
I use red wine to make the best home made spaghetti sauce. Try it in cooking. Maybe you’ll find a recipe you like that calls for wine.
This is a blessing!!! Either sell it, trade it or give it away. I know you will find many people that appreciate it.
I will accept your wine as tribute and pay shipping.
I can’t stop having wine. And popcorn!
boof it
Save it, you might have a party or you might grow to like it. Either way, just store it, or research it if it’s worth anything.
Back when I smoked weed I mostly dabbed. I worked a demo crew and had a boss who thought it was absolutely hilarious to blow my phone up after I got home. Never anything serious, he just liked to fuck with me when he knew I was high 😂
That’s super sweet that your boss has sent you wine. I’d give it a shot at least once and start up a conversation with him about what meal would go well with xyz bottle of wine in your collection 🙂
Look at it as an opportunity to explore and show interest. Even if it turns out not so great, you might be able to enjoy a tasty meal at least that ties over the weed munchies XD
Edit: It’s good to have some meal and drink pairings in your knowledge for special occasions that might occur in the future. You might be able to surprise someone with a fantastic dining experience. The opportunities are out there
Where do you guys all live that wine is so special you don’t know anyone that drinks it? In Europe there is mo such thing
Would you prefer a sweet wine maybe? I don’t like that tangy stuff either, call me uncultured/childish but I only like fruity white wines that don’t taste like wine lmao. I guess I don’t really like wine either- but I like a specific kind. Moscato wine is usually really delicious, like apple juice.
It’s a nice gesture, sending you wine! Maybe try a few different tasting ones, tell him if you prefer those. If all else fails, like others have suggested, tell him you quit drinking it lmao!
Why is being an alcoholic more acceptable than smoking?
Most important: what a super nice boss!!
With a lot of alcohol, the only way to like it is to drink it and drink it some more, then you develop a taste for it. And never ever ever smell alcohol before drinking it, like you might catch a whiff, but never put the bottle up to your nose and sniff, will ruin it instantly… You think weed gets you ripped, add some wine with it. Wine hits good, you wont need much. Force the first glass down and the second one goes down easier, the third is like koolaid lol… what you can do, fake a bad hangover and say you are swearing off wine for awhile lol
Your boss sounds awesome🤣
Use the lower quality stuff to cool with (adds flavor and richness to food without tasting like alcohol) and regift the good bottles
Wine definitely is an aquired taste. you really have two options, you could come clean and tell him the situation which may grant you different results than my might be expecting, or you could really become a wine connoisseur and grow to get into it!.
It’s a weird situation to be in, I also don’t drink but smoke weed and live in a country where it is recently legalized for person use. Only a select few people at work know I smoke weed and I wouldn’t dream of ever sparking up at like a work event when the drinks come out even though I am not breaking any law.
I guess it takes a while before our confidence of how we will be perceived in a professional environment changes.
This is so dumb.
I get why you might not want to say you smoked a load of weed but why would you not at least say a drink you actually like?
I think in most cases, people don’t like wine when it’s not good. I wasn’t a big fan of wine until I started drinking French wines. Waaaayy better experience and almost no hang over (lower alcohol content than California and Italian wines). French wines also aren’t as astringent and acidic so I find them to be easy drinking and very freaking. If you’re open to trying to like it to get along with your boss better, def try a Chablis or vovre (total wine has them). These are whites and are perfect for a summer night!
I’d just let it ride lol it’s not hurting anyone. It’s actually making him happy.
Try some of it. I like beer and wine gives me heartburn usually, but once in a while it’s actually nice to have a red to go with a steak or something.
I like what the other people said. You have readymade gifts.
Also, the dude is trying to be your friend. I like being a slacker as much as the rest, but if you tried one or two of the bottles he sent and found one you liked you could chat him up about it. That could work out in your favor. Also, maybe “revealing” that you’re a wine novice and that it’s an expensive interest to have could be a way out of the wine thing. Maybe he keeps sending you wine because “you can’t afford it”, maybe he’ll back off because he doesn’t want to pressure you, but as long as you also do alright at your job you’ll have a positive reference for life.
Lucky!!! 🍀
Have a wine night? Killing a few bottles of wine with friends even if you don’t like it, will still be fun. Sangria at the kitchen table with a bag of weed. Good times! 🤣😀
Everyone is saying you have such a nice boss but this could be the start of a boundary being crossed…
Does your boss possibly have feelings for you?
Turn wine to vinegar. Use it in marinades when cooking. Christmas is around the corner… Gift them out.
Shit I’ll take the wine off ur hands lol
Tell him you’re quitting alc 🤷♀️
Boss wants to smash. Get yo raise.
Hopefully estate merlots. Great secondary market for resale. Too bad you can’t get him to send weed.
Get a wine rack and start collecting 😭
Oh Buddy …. you don’t realize what is happening
Just tell him that you really appreciate the wine but you’re trying to cut back on it a bit for now.
if you want to get used to wine and maybe like it one day: mix it with sprite
I come from a winey area and young people often don’t like the taste of wine, but still want to get hammered on wine festivals… so they order a mix of wine and sprite (or fanta in some cases)
(We often drink a wine + fizz water mix where I come from, so this is not that far.)
Tell him you like wine but love money.
Well hey free wine, you can use it for cooking at least, or give it away to family who loves wine.
Weed + wine = The best!
Who knew that lying would have unintended consequences?
I told an old lady at work that I like caramel when I DO NOT and now she randomly pops up with whole bags of caramel candies just for me! I just store them in a drawer for the off chance that I meet a caramel lover who wants to take the whole collection
Omg can I have your boss
Your boss called you on a weekend and sends you wine? How is this appropriate?
I’m not used to being rich
Christmas is coming up, it makes great gifts. Hell gift some of the best ones back to him, “because they were so good!”
Dude this is a business opportunity. Start selling the bottles
can you send me your wine pls
Good for cooking and regifting… next time you’re off work for a doctor’s appointment, just tell him it’s been recommended that you focus on your health and that you are gonna cut out alcohol.
Invite him over for a drink. Kiss him. Then break out the zaza.
Give it as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Just Google what it tastes like and write it down.
You already have gifts for your friends and acquaintances🤭🤭
I used to dislike wine myself, until I took a little time to educate myself on it, learn how it’s made, learned the basics of wine tasting, the aromas, how the tannins affect the mouth feel…. Ya know, all that annoying pretentious stuff. Before too long I found myself really enjoying wine; not necessarily because I loved the flavor but because I appreciate what it is. I find it fun to pair wines with food to elevate my dining experience, even if it’s just a quick easy meal at home. Basically, just understanding wine beyond its immediate face value (a way to get drunk that tastes better than liquor). I guess if one’s sole goal is inebriation, then this approach wouldn’t work, but yeah.
The guy seems wholesome. I love wine to death
Send some wine my way then 🤣
Drink till you like it.
Store the wine on its side. The cork will go brittle and dry if stored standing upright. You can hold onto wine for years so just keep it until you can gift it away
This is just funny to me, because if weed is legal in your state just own up to that fact that you in fact don’t like wine and prefer weed instead. What if he likes both and starts sending you a ton of weed? Idk. I like both can I get a bottle? Lol 🤭
Hey, post some pictures or at the least tell us what some of the bottles are. I’m familiar enough with wine to be able to say if its at least quality, well made wine or if it just absolute manufactured swill.
Also, your palate changes with age. I honestly wasn’t that into wine until my 30s. Something happened, now I’m pursuing wine related certifications on the side.
Wish I had that problem. I once told a boss, who was getting gift cards for his entire team, he asked where I liked to eat. I told him I like pretty much everything but pasta. Made it very clear I didn’t like pasta.
Next three years, the spiteful prick got me Olive Garden giftcards. The closest Olive Garden was over a half hour away, and I had told him I didn’t like pasta. I refused to kiss his ass, so he did it as a “fuck you” gesture to me.
I left for greener pastures, was promoted up within 5 months of leaving that sorry ass job, and that guy was dumbstruck to find out how quickly I moved up at another company. Last I heard hed been let go. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Tell him you want to lose weight so you gave up drinking but you’re smoking a little weed at night to relax.
There has to be a wine you like, i personally don’t like reds.
Just say stuff like “Wow! That red you sent me was SO BOLD” or “I could really taste fruit on the back of my tongue”. 99% of wine nerds have no idea what they’re talking about. (I work at a wine bar). You could fart in a wine glass and they would talk about how unique of a taste it is.
I don’t have any answers for you but I think you could have benefited from watching Seinfeld. This has George Costanza written all over it!
I mean, I’ll prove I’m 21+ and pay for shipping if you want to get rid of it 🤷🏼♂️
I struggle with the taste of wine, too. I mix it with Sprite to kinda make it more like a wine cooler, and it helps cut back the taste. I mainly do that with white wine or a rose, tho, havent really tried it with a red.
Try merlot it actually tastes good. If you have childish taste buds try Porto it’s very sweet.
You have gifts for your mailman, etc.
Call out sick for a couple days. Then, when you go back, tell him “Hey! One of those bottles of wine you sent me made me sick”!! Then, maybe he will stop!
My father in law once gifted me a bottle of sherry. It was a bit out of left field – he knew I liked white wine but had never discussed or tried sherry. I didn’t want the bottle to go to waste in case I didn’t like it. My book group at the time was making meals to go with the book we had just read. I learned that sherry is a common accompaniment to Spanish tapas. The next time I hosted, I picked a book set in Spain, and made tapas for the meeting. The sherry was served – it was ok but I didn’t particularly care for it.
I told the story to my FIL (not the part about not liking sherry, but everything else) b/c I knew he’d get a kick out of it. He did – and he gave me a bottle of sherry at every gift-giving occasion going forward.
Gifts! Give them wine for Xmas -go t
to find a place you can find wine lovers.
You can mail whatever he sends you to me if you hate it just dm me
I also don’t love wine, but I wouldn’t complain about free anything.
Ill take it off your hands 🤣
It’s probably a good idea to start to learn how to appreciate wine. You’re 25 now, it will become more and more an expectation at nice dinners, events, weddings, etc, and as you’re learning now, it can be a great topic for networking and work conversation.
Hahahhaha gift them or sell them on line this was so cool I love you btw hahahahah SUPER AWEAOME OP STORY!!!
Sounds like he’s buying all your Xmas shopping this year. I’d start buying cute gift bags as you see them, and give wine out for Xmas. I’d avoid giving to your boss/people at your office, but otherwise, I’d just regift it all. If you feel like you need to add to it, pair it with a pair of cute wine glasses.
Inform him that you have recently discovered you actually prefer cash with your evening meals instead of wine. Drop him your PayPal. Jobs a gooden.
I wish someone would send me wine
just tell him you’re going sober now idk 🤷♀️
“did i say wine??? Nooo, i meant money…. I LOOOOVE money”.
Seconding the comment, “hey boss, THANK YOU. I’m really trying to cut back on drinking and being healthier and shit. Please don’t send me more wine because it’s hard to simply not drink it.”
So you’re showing gratitude for the gift. And it’s phrased in such a way that you want it still, but you gotta be healthier. If he respects your life changes, he’ll quit.
Guess I’m about three bottles away from starting a ‘Help, I accidentally became a sommelier’ support group.🍷😂
He’s trying to bang you
I take it to parties at friends house’s and declare “here, now you’re stuck with this”
So, give the wine to friends and family who do like wine! What he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him, (shhhh), 🤠
Ooooooh, I’ll take it. 😂
Infuse the wine with some weed, problem solved.
You’re welcome 😜😅
Say youve had to stop alcohol because of a visual or hearing issue and that weed is helping you with it
Hey boss, had to cut out the wine due to dietary issues…but thanks for everything.
