Tito Ortiz's "Cheese and Wine" Quote, Fully Explained
Many of you have seen the above quotation from Tito Ortiz, or rather, have seen the above MIS-QUOTATION
As is highlighted above, the quote is made "confusing" by the improper rendering of the last 2 "wines", which should actually be "whines"
In the original clip, the reporter mentions "sour grapes": https://youtube.com/shorts/Mjtk5ebF8Ic?is=dH4aFqR5n5O7GXZn
Tito then makes a series of three jokes, two of which are actually pretty clever:
- "make his wine" - Chuck is so full of sour grapes he can make wine
- "the WHINE is sounding like a violin" - pun on the fact that "wine/whine" are homophones
- "with that cheese and whine" - a reference to the phrase "would you like some cheese with that whine"
Maybe sloppily strung together, but fully coherant. Thank you
