Pinot hour. Or; do your phone have wine opinions?

Besides hanging here, why not also give Wine Virtuosity a like on Facebook? Or perhaps send me a tweet?

The views expressed in this post are the views of my cell phone and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of my own. The views expressed are the sole responsibility of my phone and its helper, auto correct. The content in this post is provided as a general warning only. Keep an eye on what you type if you don’t trust your phone’s taste of wine.

Most uf us has probably experienced it already – or uses it frequently. Auto correct. The idea is simple; get your text out as fast as possible. You don’t need to be an Einstein to understand that fast and correct is not always best friends. Auto correct is a proof of that. Funny and harmless fails sometimes, others are epic.

I’ve discovered that my phone’s auto correct has pretty strong opinons on wine, not hiding what it really wants to write. Sometimes it feels like it knows me and my palate, other times it’s just scary. Here’s to vinous auto corrects!

What I want to write, but my phone insists I write (in brackets):

Pinot Noir (Pinot hour)

Ah, my auto correct understands me. I like my phone.

Alsace (Aussie)

Nothing new here. We all know that the people in Alsace rather would like to make Aussie wines…

Lafite Rotschild (Mature Fairchild)

I knew it! This is why the Chinese are crazy about Lafite. They type Lafite but gets pics of Morgan Fairchild!

Petrus (Terri)

Time for a name change? Chateau Terri?

Sangiovese (Sinfulness)

We all want to sin right?

Piemonte (Pissing)

Ok, now it is getting scary. Obviously my phone knows I’m no huge fan of Nebbiolo, but we don’t have to be that cruel dear phone.

Bierzo (Boredom)

Oh, come on. Some of them are pretty good!

Waipara (Solera)

I knew it! No vintage wines here.

Haut Brion (NUT broom)

Still trying to understand what my phone’s trying to tell me….

Brouilly (Brooklyn)

Same, same…

Burgenland (Jorgensen)

Scary stuff. My last name is equivalent with a favorite region of mine, according to my phone. So I’m Austrian…

Tempranillo (Temptation)

Word to that!

Cornas (Vinhao)

Well, don’t tell that to the French…

Franciacorta (Traffickers)

Trying to get me sued dear phone?

Ribatejo (Einstein)

Any Portuguese readers able to explain this one?

Petit Verdot (Petit credit)

Who said wine production was glamorous?

Müller-Thurgau (Killers thirty)

The unscrupulous grape?

So, tell me. Have you been auto corrected by your wise ass phone who thinks it knows wine better than you? Share!
