Bloody Bull. Something like the manly version of the bloody mary. A tasty mixture of vodka, beef bouillon, lemon, tabasco sauce and worcestershire sauce. Again, the name makes up for at least 50% of what makes the manliest drinks manly.
Not the manliest cocktail ever, but it definitely has enough kick to make it tougher than the average martini. In all honesty a martini has never been considered the go-to cocktail for men, but we can agree that James Bond carries that pass for all men, thus making strong cocktails manly even when served in a martini glass.
Silky is the red-wine equivalent word to creamy with white wines. If you like silky for bed sheets than you will most likely enjoy silky on your tongue. GO TO CREAMY, VELVETY A steely wine has higher acid and more sharp edges. It is the man-ballerina of wine. A structured wine has high tannin and acid and is hard to drink.
Turns out fat is the least desirable of all of them because it’s flabby. A fat wine comes in and takes up all the room in your mouth and hangs in awkward places. Flabby means the wine has no acidity.
What grapes are fuller bodied?
6. Cabernet Sauvignon; red grape, full body. Some of these grapes can be lighter- or fuller-bodied depending on the winemaker’s style. And of course there are lots of other grapes you’ll see all the time on wine lists and in shops—like Pinot Grigio (white grape, light body) and Malbec (red grape, medium to heavy body).
The Six Most Popular Grapes. Winemakers around the world use dozens of different grape types to make vino. But there are six grapes—three white, three red—that you’ll encounter more than any others, according to master sommelier Andrea Robinson, author of Great Wines Made Simple.
Many people think giving full-bodied red wines some time to breathe—anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours —improves their flavor, Wildy says. (White wines aren’t decanted.)
Helpful hack: To swirl the wine, grab your glass by the base of the stem with your index finger and thumb. Now pretend you’re drawing small circles with it on the tabletop, Puckette says. You may have heard to examine the wine’s “legs”—the streaks of liquid left on the inside of the glass—after you swirl.
If it’s an inexpensive bottle, it’ll breathe in your glass and be fine after 5 minutes. Related: The Best Way to Save Leftover Wine.
What Wine “Body” Means. When people talk about a wine’s body using words like “light,” “medium,” and “full,” they’re referring to how thick the wine actually feels on your tongue, says Keith Wallace, president and founder of the Wine School of Philadelphia.

The Gin and Tonic is a classic cocktail that’s perfect for enjoying by the pool, or on a hot summer night. Refreshing but it still packs a punch. It’s perfect for when you’re looking for something relaxed and sweet, but you don’t want to go full Appletini.
So martinis are pretty much straight up booze. James Bond drank them religiously before going out to slaughter the baddies and get the girl. Much like Champagne, the Vodka Martini is classy but only in the appropriate venue. If you show up to a tailgate drinking one, you’ll just look like a drunk.
Name a more iconic duo. Jack and Coke is never a bad choice. It’s not pretentious nor unrefined; it’s a great go-to in just about any scenario. If you’re watching your calories, go for the Jack and Diet. Just make sure you don’t ask for an expense whiskey instead of Jack Daniels. Otherwise, you’ll look like a plebe.
Red wine is key. It goes well in virtually every situation or the environment. Whether it’s a fine bottle of Yellow Tail or a box of Franzia, it’ll give you that air of sophistication. It’s also heart healthy, full of antioxidants, and studies have shown it can help you lose weight if enjoyed in moderation.
