Ronica, welcome back! I think the others have hit the nail on the head with their comments about treasuring agreement with one's spouse/partner/SO on deep philosophical and lifestyle preferences while accepting small differences with a good sense of humor.
Just for chuckles, though, here's a simple procedure that works for me: Start your own small business that features great food and fine wine as central mission and cost center. Then set up the corporation with your spouse as full partner. As long as it's all tax-deductible anyway, who's going to argue about a "business decision" to go for that premier cru?
That's funny that you say that b/c my brother-in-law is going to hire me to do wine tastings at his new wine shop. Maybe I can start writing off all of my wine purchases!
