“Red wine and fish don’t mix. In fact, mine died”

Fish usually goes on menus with white wine, not red wine. When it is said that “red wine and fish don’t mix,” this is not meant literally, but there are jokes.
   
“It’s true what they say that red wine and fish don’t mix, in fact mine died” was posted on Twitter by English writer and stand-up comedian Gary Delaney on June 10, 2012. “Red wine and fish don’t mix, in fact, mine died” was posted on Reddit—Oneliners on August 20, 2020.
