Our guests showed up with a nice bottle of wine from a local (in state) winery that they had toured and said "here we brought this for you!" then proceeded to tell me about what a great wine it is. I tried as graciously as I could to accept it, asking about their tour etc, and then they asked (after I had accepted it...), "Do you drink wine?" Well we don't really (but I didn't want to offend them) so again, as graciously as I could I told them that 'only on special occassions' So then they said... "oh, you like hard liqour?" OF COURSE NOT..we just don't drink period, So I said "oh, no, not ever" so then they said... "oh, your a beer drinker!" Why couldn't they just stop at the gift giving and let it go at that! No, We are NOT beer drinkers either! It took all the "giving" out of the gift! I just wanted to give it back to them! Then before I could say anything else... they said I could 'regift' it to someone else!
They were a really sweet couple and were good guests, even said they'd be back sometime (so I don't think they were offended by us not being drinkers).
What would you have done?
