Best wine varieties for viewing coins?

I find that viewing coins goes better with a good glass of wine. Maybe it's just color-matching, but I find a full-bodied syrah or zinfandel goes great with copper or gold coins. But an oaky chardonnay goes really well with silver coins. What's your preference?

I don't drink at all when bidding or buying though.

That is a very interesting question! I love my Argentinian Malbec with all my coins!

The wine so nice they named it twice.

 

Why don't you ask Charmy, @The Penny Lady® ?

I saw Charmy's latest report from Anaheim and saw her wine preferences, which are great.

My go to is pretty much any Bordeaux from the Saint-Émilion region.

Why not Ripple?

 

I must agree a nice old vine zin or syrah goes good with just about anything in my book. But if you really want to go old school a Port and a fine cigar while sitting in a worn leather chair with your loop in hand is about as good as it gets. Now for Asian coinage I prefer a nice plum wine. Canadian coinage is where a Ice Wine is the only thing you can pare with.
European countries I like a Rhine wine, or a sweet Rose.
Australian of course any Yellow Tail. For California Gold coins I like 7 deadly zins...... have I forgotten any one?
Well my apologies as all I got left in the rack is $2 Buck Chuck. Cheers

 

And what do you get when you mx champagne and Ripple?
