Hostile Wheels, Fuel Wheels, Moto Metal Wheels and Wine: The Finer Things in Life

The pickup truck is an American cultural icon. It brings images of beach trips, hauling junk and country roads. People who own pickups know that there is much more to this vehicle that meets the eye. For example, driving a truck means you don’t have to call someone who owns a truck to haul stuff away from your home. Driving a truck means you get called by your friends when they need help moving. And owning a truck means you get to buy cool truck wheels from manufacturers like Hostile Wheels, Fuel Wheels and Moto Metal Wheels.

But owning a truck also means having to deal with the stereotypes that come with it. For example, there are those people who think you are a redneck because you own a truck. Which might be totally true, but that is not our point. Some people think truck owners wear their baseball caps backward, listen to country-western music and drink cheap beer; which might also be true, but again, that is not our point.

Well, maybe it is.

You see, if you are THAT guy, the truck owner who does wear a baseball cap backward, listens to country-western music and drinks cheap beer, listen up because what we have to say is important.

Pickup truck owners have a hard enough time shaking the stereotype when people like you, Mr. Truck Owner Stereotype, exist. You give owning a truck a bad name. We want to change that. We want you to be a more refined human being, somebody knowledgeable in the finer things in life; like wine for example.

Look, there are a few people out there who are impressed by the fact that you can determine the brand of beer by a quick sniff. But that talent, if you can call it that, falls flat in the real world. What would really impress people, the ladies for sure, is if you knew how to select a good bottle of wine.

That’s right, we want to dispel this notion that truck owners are neither refined nor sophisticated. We want you to trade in that six-pack of Coors Light for a Cabernet Sauvignon. For you truck owners out there, that would be cab-er-nay saw-vee-nyon.

We don’t expect you to take a single sip of wine and tell which region it came from, just being able to pick out a decent wine at the grocery store is good enough.

Spend at Least $15 per Bottle

It is highly unlikely you will find anything undrinkable at this price range. Spending below this amount is tantamount to wine Russian roulette, you never know what lurks in those bottles. So don’t play that game. Remember that wine tasting is subjective. That $5 bottle of wine might be your ambrosia, but another’s cat urine.

Ask the Guy at the Counter for Help

Look, the clerk at the liquor store isn't likely a wine expert, but he or she has seen their fair share of wine and will tell you which bottles of wine the better-dressed clientele buys.

You see, you just became an expert wine buyer. How easy was that?
