Lordy. Must have been someone's first time around women of color. Heck, they're plenty loud without wine involved.
That being said, if nothing else, grab a glass and go sit with them. One of two things would have happened, you'd have either joined in their laughter or they would have piped down.
Having them thrown off of the train sounds excessive.

I cannot go to a movie theater anymore in Memphis. Manner-less in your face rudeness is the reason. Cell phones, texting, talking, and making a general spectacle of themselves is the black experience here. And yes I think they do it on purpose. The culture will not carry out a subdued or quiet conversation.

I've been on the Napa Valley Wine Train several times. It's not a wine tour, as there are no on/off stops. It is a two seating dinner train ride. During the first 90 minutes, one group is having hors d'oeuvres in the sight-seeing car while the other group is dining. At the half-way point, the diners move to the sight-seeing car for dessert while the rest go to the dinner car for the second seating as the train reverses back to Napa.

I suspect that some will argue that there are no “standards” for behaviour in public, only cultural norms. And that to apply the norms for white middle class people for behaviour in public to those of other ethnic communities and/or socioeconomic groups is inherently discriminatory.
Not saying that I agree with that, but some will certainly argue that way. I would say that as a business the people operating this wine tour train are entitled to have their own standards for behaviour such that some guests aren’t disturbing the enjoyment of other guests. I seriously doubt if having paying customers, particularly black ones (everyone being mindful of racial matters), removed from the train is something that they enjoy having to do.

The volume thing appears to me to be pretty much cultural. Have you ever walked behind a group of black women in a mall? You’d think they were all hard of hearing. Maybe they are. I don’t understand it, but it’s a phenomena I’ve noticed for years.

Standards are cultural norms. Which is why they are pushing against the cultural norms. Norms must be revised and whites must be made to submit.

Blacks tend to get pretty loud when you get a whole pack of them together.
