Unlike Trump and Biden, Kamala Harris Is No Teetotaler

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump do not drink. In a country where more than two-thirds of adults consume alcohol, that’s a surprising fact — not that there’s anything wrong with abstaining (and both Trump and Biden have their reasons).
However, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris not only counts herself in the majority of Americans who drink, but she apparently has good taste in wine.
According to a Washingtonian article published after Harris snagged the vice presidential nomination in 2020, the current VP enjoyed spending time at Cork Wine Bar in Washington, D.C. The venue tweeted a photo of Harris with the bar’s owners, taken during a holiday party that the current presidential candidate held for her staff in 2019.
Harris’s wine bonafides extend to her time serving as a U.S. senator from California, a top winemaking state, where she was a member of the Congressional Wine Caucus, a 117-member, bipartisan and bicameral group that “protect[s] the interests of our vibrant wine community from grape to glass.” As well, the VP was reportedly a member of Rock Wall Wine Co., an urban winery in Alameda, CA, before it closed in 2022.
“You know if you go to a foreign country and you know like six phrases or something? She’s well beyond that,” Cork Wine Bar co-owner Khalid Pitts told the Washingtonian. “She can talk about different varietals. She can talk about differences between California oak and French oak…. She knows what she likes and doesn’t like, and knows why she doesn’t like it.” According to Pitts, Harris likes California wines and has a “great appreciation for Old World wines.”

This could explain a few things.
