Drinking/snacking while watching anime?

I'm sipping a marvelous Cabernet Franc wine that I picked up from
Sandbanks Estate Winery yesterday in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Today is a day off for us, so my wife and I are at home, and my wife is
just completing a Sicilian pasta sauce with meatballs that we will have
for supper in a little while. I'll have more of this Cab Franc with our
meal. I usually have a glass or two of wine with my dinner, although
under the right circumstances I'll have beer with a meal (usually if
it's bar-b-que or home made pizza). My current favorite brewery is the
Upper Canada Brewing Company of Guelph, Ontario.

But I also like to sip on a drink while I watch anime, whether while
watching on my PC in the basement or on one of the projection TVs
upstairs. Usually I'm watching anime on weeknights and I don't tend to
drink alcoholic beverages after dinner. So my normal beverage to drink
with anime is fruit or grape punch or iced tea. However, if I'm having
popcorn while viewing anime my first choice is always ginger ale.

In the winter, however, I do tend to like to have a shot of brandy or
Armagnac from time to time in the evening, but generally only if I'm
watching a fairly serious anime. (There's nothing worse than snorting
expensive liquor through your nose from laughing while watching a
comedy! <L>)

I never drink coffee or tea while watching anime; not even Japanese
green tea. I don't like to have hot drinks get cold, and if I'm sipping
a hot drink while watching a half hour anime, the hot drink is bound to
cool off before the end of the show.

So, do you like to drink while watching anime, and if so, what do you
find best suited for your anime tastes? What about snacking while
watching? Do you ever have a craving for Japanese snacks or something
similar?

BTW II - We had a chance to meet and chat with Catherine Langlois, the
vintner and owner of Sandbanks Winery, yesterday and she is totally
charming and even prettier in person than in her photos.
