At their worst, they are a close equivalent of art snobs. They miss the point that pouring the stuff down your pie hole is the ultimate objective, and stand around sniffing and snorting into glasses, holding it up to the light, swishing it around in their mouths like Listerine, and (horrors) spitting it out. A few minutes of watching that and I feel like going "Out of the way, ya swabs, some men have real drinking to do here."
