Aziraphale’s wine

It is a truth universally acknowledged in the Good Omens fandom that an angel in need of a drink turns to his secret stash of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the back room. He picked up a dozen cases in 1921, and a whole century later there's still some left… for special occasions.

Just to put things in perspective, a standard case contains 12 750ml bottles, for a total of 9 liters of wine. A dozen cases equals 144 bottles, or 108 liters of wine. That’s quite a lot for a single purchase, so Aziraphale — the established sherry and sweet drinks connoisseur — must have had a good reason for it.

One potential explanation is the aura of grandeur around this particular wine. The papal connection, rich history of the region, and recognition of high quality products give Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines a very luxurious status, considerably influencing their price tags. And Aziraphale is known to have standards.

Another one is the way in which their taste differs from Aziraphale’s usual choices: Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are often described as earthy with gamey flavors that have hints of tar and leather. The wines are considered tough and tannic in their youth, but maintain their rich spiciness as they age.

Since everything in Good Omens has a meaning, it never hurts to run through a quick Strong’s Concordance search whenever a date pops up in a dialogue or, even more importantly, somewhere on screen. More often than not the result seems to match the researched topic, as it’s the case here:

1921: to know exactly, to recognize.

Provided examples: I come to know by directing my attention to him or it, I perceive, discern, recognize; I found out. The general usage of the word usually refers to knowing someone aptly, properly, thoroughly, even biblically. Which might be either a wishful thinking on Aziraphale’s part or just another layer of subtext in this already romantically charged scene. The table dressing, multiple candles, and focus on the lamps with Auguste Moreau’s Young Lovers statues in the background seem to successfully communicate what the angel left unsaid.

Too bad that Crowley remained so adorably oblivious for the next eighty years. At least when he finally came to the realization, he responded with an attempted temptation to another vintage red wine @vidavalor already analyzed.

But back to Aziraphale’s wine. To be exact, it’s a 1921 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the domaine de Baban. An actual French vineyard from the Rhône region that still exists to this day, even though a few decades ago it got merged with another estate into what is now known as domaine Riché-Baban. According to the local guides, the 11 hectares on the estate are located in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape designation area in the Bois Lauzon and Mourre de Baud districts. At the moment 90% of the wines produced there are sent to wine dealers.

1920s were quite an interesting time for this region, but not because of the flapper cabarets or drag shows usually associated with the era on the Old Continent. To the horror of European oenophiles, right after World War I the whole of France found itself awash with fake wine. One of the worst outrages was the use of lead that magically transformed cheap, acid wine into something deceptively rich and sweet on the outside and one of the most powerful neurotoxins on the inside. People were already well aware of its effects — the poisoning from drinking sweetened wine probably made Handel go blind and Beethoven go deaf, but it shows how desperate for sweetness they were before sugar became available to the masses.

Admittably, it wasn’t a new practice. Far from it — the Romans liked it so much that they even advised to pack lead pans on travels to boil local wine in them to make it sweeter, especially in colder provinces like Britannia. But Aziraphale didn’t buy twelve cases of counterfeit wine for the sake of some good memories of Rome and its many health hazards. No, the fussy angel made sure to get the actually good stuff from the other side of the English Channel.

Henry Tacussel, whose name is mentioned on his wine label, was a French viticulturalist and a close friend of Baron Pierre Le Roy of the Chateau Fortia nearby, a trained lawyer and fellow winegrower from Châteauneuf-du-Pape who established the Winegrowers' Union of the Rhône Valley. Together with the Baron he became one of the founders of Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC), a labeling system intended to protect regional products and technologies that is still in use in France and serves as an inspiration to similar solutions worldwide. Their efforts were deliberately centred on Châteauneuf-du-Pape because with such a beguiling name even in comparison to other labels it seemed to attract an undue share of fraudsters at the time.

Soon after Aziraphale’s shopping spree, the local wine producers led by Le Roy and Tacussel began a very long campaign to establish legal protection for the wine from their commune. The delimited area and the method of wine production were finally awarded legal recognition after a decade, in 1933, but it wasn’t the end of the criminal activities on this front. An undercover investigation by The Sunday Times discovered that most of the “Châteauneuf” in the 1960s Britain was actually blended and bottled in Ipswich.

One question remains: was it a purely human affair, or maybe one requiring a demonic or angelic intervention?

Cooking as a listed interest? Ooh, any go to meals that you wanna share? :3

Absolutely!! :3

Low effort meal is pressure cooker risotto. The following makes about 3 meals worth for me.

Rinse 200g of arborio rice until the water runs clear, then dump it in the pressure cooker pot. Add 750ml of liquid. Usually this is just stock, although it's nice to put in a glug or two of wine. I'm aware this might look like a lot, but it's the right ratio, you gotta trust me :3

Put this on to pressure-cook for 7 minutes. I use my pressure cooker's high setting for this, so use your equivalent. Then, I let the steam release naturally for 10 minutes, before venting off the rest manually.

Open the lid once it's safe, and give it a good stir and mix, before placing the lid back on and letting it sit for 5 minutes, and then it's done!

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Adding in fried mushrooms or powdered parmesan is really nice. It's a low effort meal and very good for it, though eating a full plain bowl of it can lead to it getting boring by the end, so little additions go a long way.

This is only low effort because of the pressure cooking, you can make this dish otherwise but it's not simple and requires a lot of time and attention 😅

Medium effort meal is slow cooker lentil dahl. The following makes about 3 meals worth for me.

Take split red lentils, and rinse them in water repeatedly until the water runs clear, like rice. I'd say maybe about half a bag, 250g? Depends how much you'd like to make but the ratios of ingredients are flexible.

Dump this into the slow cooker pot, and add a tin of chopped tomatoes. Slice up some veg of choice at a medium dice, and put that straight in too. Bell peppers, carrots and onions work particularly well. One large carrot, a bell pepper and an onion is a good amount, for reference. Then, add one thingy of stock in whatever form you like (stock cube, stock pot, etc.) mixing it with water to start breaking it up. Add seasonings (a good pinch of salt, and I usually go for a decent sprinkle of curry powder and a small sprinkle of paprika). Then, add water until it covers all the lentils and veg.

Turn the slow cooker onto high with the lid on for about 2-3 hours. Then give it a mix, make sure nothing is burning or stuck to the bottom, then set it on low with the lid on for a couple hours or until it starts looking really good. If you check and it looks dry, add water and make sure it's not burning on the bottom again. If it looks too wet, leave it on low with the lid off for an hour or so.

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, then serve up! It benefits quite a bit from little toppings, like yoghurt, mango chutney or crispy fried onions/garlic.

If you don't have a slow cooker, you should be able to do this with a pot on the stove, but you'd have to figure out how to adapt the temperature and all that.

High effort meal is homemade pizza! It's fun because people can make their own once you've made the basic pizza.

Basically I've poached this recipe from BBC Good Food, see here:

I have some notes for this though, so it's not all poached :3

Ignore the request for fancy italian flour, just use plain flour and it'll be fine. Pick the toppings you want, too.

Be careful with the temperature it recommends. Hottest is best for pizzas, I agree, but you definitely need to keep an eye on it for anything like 270°C, because it will just burn if you let it.

Since most of the time I'm making this for several people, and all the pizzas don't tend to fit in the oven at the same time, once you've got the little balls finished you might need to do them in batches.

You can prepare the pizzas in advance by cooking as the recipe says and doing tomato sauce plus mozzarella/cheddar topping to make a cooked Margarita pizza, and then leaving it until it's time to eat. Then, have each person choose a pizza, and top it with whatever additional toppings they'd like, then put it in the oven just to warm up and cook the toppings. Not 270°C for that though, just go for 200°C for about 10mins, or until it looks done.

i don’t know how far my reach is but here in Aotearoa, we have a time honoured tradition. Crate Day. Where on the first saturday of december (first saturday of summer here in the southern hemisphere) you buy a crate of beer (12 bottles (750mls each (9 litres of beer))) and you start at midday and you have until midnight to finish them (1 bottle per hour) but beer is gross as hell so some people do two boxes (of rtds) (24 bottles/cans of a Ready To Drink)

but i am a little baby light weight

and so my flatmate and i decided to just split a bottle of prosecco and make mimosas. but then we realised that was only 3-4 standards each. so we got red bull and decided to vodka redbulls. and then we realised we had both opened a v (energy drink in nz) so i have currently drunk 2 vodka redbulls and half a bottle of wine and one vodka v.

i was having an excellent time listening and jamming to 2010’s tunes. i decided to make people food

then two other girls came over

they didn’t eat any of my food

and now it’s not 2010’s music it’s music i don’t like

and it flatmate who i was drinking with is talking to the other girls more and ignoring me and my additions to the conversation

and now i’m not having fun anymore :( i just want to jam out to white girl music as i down a bottle of wine

is that too much to ask :(

[Image description: Two photos of wine bottles. The first one shows wine themed after Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney. There is a bottle of red wine with Miles' picture on it and a bottle of white wine with Phoenix's picture on it. Between the bottles is a wine glass with the blue badger on it. Japanese text on the image reads (translated): Red wine inspired by Mitsurugi "Genius Red". White wine inspired by Naruhodou "Heat White". The wine label features the two brave figures from the nostalgic first game of "Ace Attorney"...!

The second photo shows a bottle of white wine with Falin and Marcille from Dungeon Meshi on it. Text next to the bottle reads (translated) "The fruity aroma fills your mouth. A fruity and refreshing wine. Delicious in Dungeon. White Wine. Type: Fruit wine; Country of origin: Italy; Color: White; Alcohol content: 11.0%; Volume: 750ml; Taste: Slightly dry; Grape Varieties: Trebbiano, Chardonnay; Best drinking temperature: 8-10 C".

FINALLY YAOI AND YURI WINE

[clatterbane]

Also, what a shame. We now have an open liter bottle of random Portuguese red that Mr. C bought to drink up before it goes weird. Of course that was the only red we had (unopened) when I wanted to cook with it.

(I haven't made that Merlot kit stuff yet, but that was at least part of what I had in mind for the proceeds. Stick it in some smaller bottles, and that should be very handy for cooking purposes if nothing else.)

I'm more used to seeing wine come in 750ml bottles (500ml is also pretty popular here--and that is a good size for one person to finish off), but apparently not this. I won't be sorry to get the bottle to repurpose, either.

Good thing it is a pleasant enough fruity wine. I'm sipping on some now while the food finishes cooking, from that really classy saved sundae cup in the photo. 😅

May still freeze some for later cooking purposes.

Tender and succulent beef short ribs braised in red wine until melt-in-your-mouth perfection. This dish is rich, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy dinner. Pair with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for an exquisite dining experience.

Ingredients: 4 lbs beef short ribs. 1 bottle 750ml red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon. 2 cups beef broth. 1 onion, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 carrots, diced. 2 stalks celery, diced. 2 sprigs fresh thyme. 2 bay leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tbsp olive oil.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 325F 160C. Add a lot of salt and pepper to the short ribs. A big pot that can go in the oven should have olive oil in it. If you need to, work in batches to brown the short ribs on all sides. Take it out and set it aside. You can put the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery in the same pot. For about 5 minutes, or until softened, saut. Put the short ribs back in the pot. Put in the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and red wine. Bring to a low boil. Put the pot in an oven that has already been heated and cover it. Let the meat cook for three to four hours, or until it is soft and falls off the bone. Take the short ribs out of the pot when they're done and keep them warm. Take the braising liquid and strain it into a saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until the liquid is reduced to the consistency you want. The sauce should be served with the short ribs. Drink it with a glass of the same red wine that was used to braise it.

Indulge in the succulent flavors of these marinated ribeye steaks, infused with a rich blend of red wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and rosemary. Perfectly grilled to perfection, these steaks are a delightful pairing with your favorite glass of Vino-Vixen wine.

Ingredients: 750ml red wine. 1 cup balsamic vinegar. 1/4 cup honey. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 bone-in ribeye steaks.

Instructions: Honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and red wine should all be mixed together in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to the ribeye steaks. Put the steaks in a shallow dish or a plastic bag that can be closed again, and pour the marinade over them making sure they are fully covered. Put the mixture in the fridge for at least four hours, or better yet, overnight for the best results. Warm the grill up to a medium-high level. Take the steaks out of the marinade and throw away the extra marinade. Turning the steaks over once halfway through cooking, grill them for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they're done the way you like them. Take the steaks off the grill and let them rest for five minutes. You can serve it with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables if you want to.

While @ruby-white-rabbit's comment is a bit too vague for my taste, @elrphant is also wrong on saying this is a 'pretty normal caffeinated beverage'.

In terms of caffeine concentration, @missmitchieg provided some numbers in one tidy post. For reasons explained under the cut, I'm primarily comparing Red Bull to the lemonades, and not Monster.

Napkin math - also done under the cut - shows that it takes 2.272 (250mL) cans to fill a 20oz cup, and 3.408 (250mL) cans to fill a 30oz cup.

(2.272 cans of Red Bull * 80mg caffeine per Red Bull) = 181.76mg caffeine in a 20oz cup. Meanwhile, the Blood Orange lemonade - the lowest caffeine concentration of the lemonades - is 245mg caffeine in a 20oz cup. For those who like stuff put in technical comparisons, that means the 20oz Red Bull cup has 74.18% the amount of caffeine as a 20oz cup of Panera's lemonade.

You get a 20oz cup of Blood Orange lemonade, that's caffeine equivalent to 3.06 cans of Red Bull.

(Also, my fucking god, how much caffeine does the Panera's coffee have if it has more caffeine than the damn lemonade?!)

And, I don't know about you, but even though I jokingly say I mainline caffeine, I'd certainly hesitate for a moment before pouring three Red Bull in a cup and sticking a straw in, let alone if it's a lemonade I'm gonna think is more tasty than Red Bull and thus I'm likely to finish it quicker (and have it hit me all the more concentrated for it).

--

* I like that @missmitchieg put all the measurements in one post, I dislike they swapped from ounces to milliliters - lemonade sizes to energy can sizes - even if I understand volume conversion math sucks. So, doing the math myself:

"A 20 ounce cup of [...] milligrams of caffeine and a 30 ounce cup has [...] milligrams of caffeine": 20 oz == 568 milliliters, and 30 oz == 852 milliliters. For visual volume comparison, your average wine bottle (in the USA at least) is 750ml.

"One 250 milliliter can of Red Bull [...]": 250 milliliters = 8.798771 ounces, or 8.8 if we clean up the decimals.

So, to simplify it for people:

2.272 cans of a 250mL drink == 568mL total == 20oz

3.408 cans of a 250mL drink == 852mL total == 30oz

Red Bull (250mL) has 80mg of caffeine according to both @missmitchieg and the official Red Bull site, so I used that for my argument; however, Monster has dozens of types of Monster - all presumably with different caffeine concentrations - and the official website is no help. After spending an inordinately long amount of time trying to find a picture of a Monster can that lists the caffeine where the pic wasn't also fried to hell and back, in the end I'm working with one of the white Monsters.

(No I don't care if you prefer Green or Mocha or whatever the fuck, I'm 2 hours into this post and want to be done.)

Down below it says '70mg [caffeine] per 8 fluid ounce'. 8.8 oz == 250 mL, so instead of working with @missmitchieg's caffeine measurement on Monster ('166mg caffeine per 250mL'), I'd go with '70mg caffeine per 250mL', at least for the white Monsters. You can see at the bottom left that the can is 473mL total, and the can says '140mg per can', so... yeah.

...I don't know why I did that work when I didn't even use Monster in the main body of my post, I just got possessed making this post and had to see it to the end.

I see jokes about the Panera lemonade but no guys.. it actually killed someone.

The guy NEVER had caffeine due to health issues. He loved going to that Panera and they did not warn him. He had no way to know where was like a level of 380mg of caffeine in his drink. The equivalent of drinking like 4 redbulls if I remember correctly. The FDA recommends 400mg as the level max per day. (A shot of expresso is 65mg for context)

Panera KILLED this man with what he thought was a simple regular lemonade.

Apparently it ALSO killed a young girl with a heart condition
