A fun post Christmas question.
The Allium family encompasses all of these wonderful vegetables; garlic, onions, leeks, chives, shallots, spring onions, bunching onions and bulb onions.
If you had to choose to give up wine or all the vegetables from this family, which one would you keep?
I don’t like this question it’s like choosing between the firing squad and the electric chair!
Shark or electrocution.
Close call but I think I’d give up wine. In an hour my answer may be different.
I want to say its a tough call but honestly its not. A food source that can be in all meals and snacks versus something I can realistically only consume on certain parts of certain days. I’ll live with beer and keep consuming garlic and onions.
Or just turn it around. Can you live without all of the foods that use those ingredients just to have wine? Not me.
I will never give up shallots. Cocktails it is.
I can survive on Old Fashioned’s
Gibsons
IPAs.
No need to give up alcohol. 
Let’s not leave out ramps!
I’d find a way to make onion wine.
Easy choice - bye bye wine
A friend can’t tolerate onions or garlic. I have cooked for him a few times without any problem. I think I could manage.
Finally a purpose for highly reductive red wine!! Sorry garlic and onions…we’re now a ginger house.
Can we still cook with wine and wine vinegar if we pick onions? 
Why choose? Is there a reason to eliminate one or the other? A medical reason maybe.
Some people have reactions to alliums (a dear friend had this issue - made eating out an adventure), but Mark was just posing a theoretical conundrum.
I think it was originally a Woody Allen hypothetical.
For me, I would reluctantly give up wine.
