An abbreviation I see on this board quite a bit is "SW" (as in "I like reds, but not many SW's").

Does this mean "sweet wine"?

"SW" is WW-speak for "Sissy White".

No, he's not. Now think hard. Envision WW and all of that desert heat beating down on his noggin -- does ANYTHING seem suspect in what he does? Case closed......

You're right. WW is one bottle short of a full case.

Okay...so just what is a "sissy white," anyway? Is it any white wine, or a specific varietal...?

WW drinks Gewurztraminer, I have on good authority (Drew, you remember that slip he made a while ago)--and, ww drinks other SW dessert wines, but he does this only after having polished off a jar of varnish he keeps hidden inside his baggy pants...
