Usually good wine has a pretty high alcohol content compared to most beers. So if you down a bottle it can get you fucked up.
Wine and beer can be great compliments with food pairings which is one of the reasons I love both so much. The other reason I love wine and beer is the innovation behind trying to create different flavors. It's very similar to cooking in that regard and that's what makes all of them cool. It's the fact that slight changes like age, region of the ingredients, combinations of ingredients can create totally different flavor palettes.
