Until the Miami Malt Liquor Expo and 8-Bit Nintendo Tournament gets up and running, our favorite local booze fest is still the Miami International Wine Fair, now in its eighth year at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Rest your pinkies, people, because from 4 to 7 p.m. you’ll have 1,500 types of wine from 20 countries to sample, swirl, spit, and savor. Don’t know crap about wine? At 3:30, check out “You Be the Judge,” a seminar that teaches you how to tell the difference between Shiraz and Syrah and finish and mouthfeel. By that time, however, you might have a bellyful of tannin and a head that’s floating from too much bouquet.

Tickets cost $75, or for $120, you can attend the VIP grand tasting at 3 p.m.
Sat., Sept. 26, 4 p.m.; Sun., Sept. 27, 4 p.m., 2009
