There is this saying in Holland ("bier na wijn geeft venijn, wijn na bier geeft plezier") which practically comes down to:
Wine after beer = ok
Beer after wine = bad
Which is said to be because the last option are a great cause for hangovers.

The real definition of it is, that beer was cheap and was only consumed by poor people. Wine was for the wealthy people that actually had money to pay for it. So drinking wine after beer was an upgrade, while beer after wine was a huge step backwards.
