How can I convince my husband to enjoy a really special wine on an average day?

He always insists on waiting for a special occasion to open a rare bottle. Why not just because it's Wednesday?


Or have a mature Chateauneuf-du-Pape because we're having a great steak.How can I convince my husband to enjoy a really special wine on an average day?
The main purpose of wine is to enjoy it.


Most people enjoy it by drinking it, some people just enjoy having it on their shelves...to them it's more about the ownership than the consumption.





I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but you are seriously the best judge of how to get your husband to see your way of thinking...not any strangers with idiot responses on Yahoo.


That being said, I share your view that a wine is better enjoyed by drinking than looking at it. I would argue that the people who created that wine intended it to be enjoyed...to be tasted, experienced, etc. If that doesn't work, ask him why you're wasting money on good wine if you're not going to drink it. Why not just buy wine that comes in pretty bottles if all you're going to do is look at it?

Not to sound dreary but you never know when you are going to be gone and if you keep saving up for a special occasion whos to say someone else won't be drinking your special rare wine instead of you because you wanted to wait. Take every moment in life as a gift and celebrate everyday because it may just be a wednesday but it may also be your last wednesday so live life to the fullest. If your husband isn't convinced pop the cork I am sure he will help you drink it then
Well you have a good point, my husband has an old hand painted bottle of Jim Beam he got over 20 years ago and lets it sit. I finally got him convinced that you can't wait forever because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. We decided to wait for a few more years for our 20th wedding anniversary. Of course one way to change his mind now if you really don't want to wait is come home early and open it up yourself!!! As you say why not just because or a great steak day???
most men will do anything for sex
You're his wife right? Partners in life? Partners make choices that will affect the other every day. You would like to open your special bottle of wine. Why do you need a reason? It's yours just as much as it's his. If your concern that he is upset, don't wait for the moment to be special, make it special.
Tomorow is such an uncertain thing! Many say ';Live life to its fullest!'; That means nothing unless you do it. A bottle of wine to celebrate life is a small pleasure, but a pleasure none the less! Throw in some candles, dimmed lights and a succulent meal and you've just built yourself an occasion!!
Remind him that the wine will start to deteriorate if you wait too long.
Tell him that unless he enjoys that expensive bottle of wine with you on Wednesday you will divorce him. He'll probably wait until the day your divorce is final and then open up the bottle to celebrate.
