To watch sport - any sport.
I've narrowed it down - for footy its either guinness (if i'm out) - some kind of cheap bitter if the footys on tele, and bizarrely Leffe (the blonde one) if its cycling but only the classics.
Does wine and watching sport mix?

The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

It used to be beer, either lager or bitter.

The only exception seems to be international rugby for some reason*.
A (edit:- malt) nip for each penalty or conversion Scotland score. A double for a try.
Most games are safe-ish but it can get messy.
*Possibly due to taking a hip flask to matches.
Pinot grigio!!why not go the whole hog and drink lambrini!
Good choice on the brain's though
Born to ride, forced to work.
Otherwise a really nice pint of local real ale (all changes dependant on where you are) and a packet of pork scratchings.
Not Navy Rum and 40 Capstains ? Bloody froggy lover... oops, I am on the right thread ?
Quick backpedal (no pun intended)..
One has a shot of Dimple Haig or Drambui with Smoked Salmon Canapes of gently fried Mongolian woodlice gums pickled in Black Label Smirnoff topped with Nightingale nipple juice drizzled with extra virgin.

All rounder Spec. Allez.
No because that's what people in the Navy do and they all take it up the bum. Nothing worse than a sailor apart from a censored hat - and at least they don't take it up the bum like Navy boys do.
Might work with cricket. At least I assume that's why you get so many camera shots late in a days play of middle-aged men asleep under their panama hats. I think you can still take hampers into the ground with your own supplies too unless that's another tradition that's been trashed by miserable officialdom.
I like a Heineken or German pilsner with my football and real ale with my rugby. Haven't tried drinking with cycling on yet, that would mean a mid-afternoon start and I've lousy discipline once I get the taste for it...I'd be trashed far too early.
What about being influenced by other things you are watching? I've been a bourbon fan for a while with a modest collection and once made the mistake of watching all 3 Deadwood series pretty much back to back over a few weeks..I was reaching for a drink everytime I saw someone on screen have some, that was a rough time!
Trashed by miserable officialdom now I'm afraid, at least for the internationals. County games are ok. At the internationals they don't check too hard though so a flask with wine in is usually overlooked.
Used to be Castle lager from S Africa but can't find it any more.
If you don't mind getting it online Castle lager is here.
