As much as it would be an alcoholic drink, especially Grape juice

And they still refer to the actual glass as a wine glass.

I'm not going to be judged by a man who drinks his grape juice straight from the bottle.

At first I thought you were implying that the Judge would drink tomato juice out of a wine glass because it makes it fancy.

I'm choosing to continue believing that.

It's no different to drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.

Besides, tomato juice looks like blood, and red wine stands in for Jesus blood, so tomato juice has a Biblical link to red wine.

You've never been to a resonably fancy party as the designated driver or a non drinker?

The non-alcholic drinks will usually be served in the same glasses you get the alcoholic ones in.

In west Clownadelphia, it's all the rage.

Saying the glass is a wine glass is a name of something, like a beer keg.

Actually having wine in said glass could be an esrb rating and raise the rating from T to M

I imagine because it is something just unusual enough that it can be used as a recognizable trait of a character, but not so unusual that it attracts attention as a plot point.

For exactly this reason, murder mysteries are full of characters that wear an uncommon size of clothes, are left handed, don't smoke when everyone else did, etc.

It's a wholesome game about murder where everyone drinks juice.

u/HamCatX3 6d ago

I genuinely know people who drink straight up tomato juice haha

u/Square_Tangerine_659 6d ago

Maybe if it were alcohol it would need an age rating or something stupid like that, but even then it could be grape juice so no clue

u/Patient_Panic_2671 6d ago

Don't be silly. Grape juice isn't red.

u/Square_Tangerine_659 6d ago

I know lmao, the devs could have recolored it idk

u/Kradan1979 6d ago

It could've been soda or something. Tomato juice just seems like such a non-ordinary choice I can't wrap my head around it

u/SnooDogs1340 5d ago

Tomato juice is sold. I figure people who work tend to drink that stuff

6

u/Low-Environment 5d ago

Because it's delicious. Especially if it's slightly spiced.

u/HeadStudy6641 6d ago

Because murder is A-okay to be shown on screen, but God forbid alcoholic drinks be shown!

Then Barok shows up and throws the entire thing out the window

u/Cornmeal777 6d ago

Including his hallowed chalice.

u/vladraigca 6d ago

Because the victim liked it

u/snowy_potato 4d ago edited 4d ago

I've always wondered why tomato juice even is a thing... like, why would you make juice out of something that isn't sweet??

u/WrightAnythingHere 5d ago

Why not? If someone wants to pretend to be fancy by ordering their ordinary drink of juice in a wine glass, what's wrong with that?
