Anyone else can't stand wine?

[Koenigsegg]

I love my alcohol, whether it be beer or liquor form..but I've never been able to drink any sorts of wine..whether it be really cheap stuff, or moderate $30/bottle cheap stuff. I'm not about to spend $100 on a bottle to see if I like that stuff any better.

I seriously prefer the taste of straight vodka to wine, just a sip of a merlot or something and I rush to get the taste out of my mouth. Even with 151 I can go without a chaser after a full shot..wine on the other hand, bleck.

 

[Anubis]

yea IMO its pretty much all crap, same with champagne

and yes even the expensive stuff is crap

 

[HumblePie]

Wine = teh gross!!!!

Only wine I've ever been able to stand was a 2000 bordeaux from france I once tried and that was barely tolerable seeing as how I didn't make a mad dash to the bathroom to throw it up.

Considering the medium age of ATOT is probably 20, it's not surprising to see the responses we've gotten so far. It's an acquired taste.

 

[sharkeeper]

No way!

Wine >*

Probably like it too much.

 

[cKGunslinger]

Go to a wine-tasting place to sample the good stuff. I'm not too terribly fond of most wines.

Seriously, I like it and I'm only... well... not old enough, lets put it that way =P

BTW, American beer sucks.

Learn to like wine, young ones. Or at least educate yourself on it. Women associate men who know their wine with money. So know a few facts, learn to drink it, and the women will think you're rich (even though you're not).

For the record, wine is good. :thumbsup:

not the $5 boxed wine.

while i'm no wine expert, i do enjoy a glass of wine from time to time. My particular favorite is Moscato D'Asti, a light white wine, that's pretty good with most any meal and even in just conversation since it's light enough. Though i do admit, i haven't really found a red i really enjoy yet

 

[Electric Amish]

Some of it's not bad...just like beer.

Try Beaulieu Vineyards Tapestry. about $30/bottle so a bit high to try as an experiment. But everyone who I recommend that wine to loves it.

Wine is pretty strong, but you can get some cheap wine (Lambrusca . sp?)that tastes more like grape juice than wine.

Plus, it supposedly is good for your heart (red wine), and anything good for your heart is awesome.

I actually like it, beer isn't really good for you, and the safest hard liquor is vodka, so wine and vodka is all I keep at my place.

I used to hate vodka because I took like 20 shots when I was 15, but I realize its better then a lot of other alcohols and gets you fvcked up.

-not good for hangovers of course.

I think wine is an acquired taste just like beer, so maybe you just need to get used to it.

I have in fact I went to the Tuscan region of Italy last week and sampled some of their wine from 2001, apparently it was good wine. But apparently the better a wine is the more it tastes like nail polish remover.

No way! I was just there too... we got served wine in this shady open red wine bottle, I was scared... but it was more like grape juice than wine ;P

 

[BurnItDwn]

I really enjoy barleywines.
I also really like Mead quite a bit.

Of course I also drink regular wine too ... I just don't know much about it at all.

Considering you called it "all crap" I'd stfu since you're probably barely old enough to drive a car.

 

[dullard]

I think if I ever find a good wine, I'll like it. But I'm 28, ~50 different wine glasses down, and still have yet to find one that tastes good. I can't stand dry wine. And the sweet wines are too sugary. I need something berry flavored that is in the middle.

So until then, I can't stand wine.

Mad Dog 20/20 for teh win!!


Really, I don't like wine. I drink it, barely, and have learned to keep a face on that doesn't look like I put the most dreadful and sourest thing in my mouh, which usually I just did when I drank the wine. Not drinking wine is a hard thing growing up in in a family that are wine fanatics and I'm the only one that hates them. I had my first "small" glass when I was 4 years old. I also know my wines and what are suppose to be "good" wines by what other peopel recommend so if I have to talk about wines in a fashion that makes it seems I like them, then I can.

However, anyone that likes rotten grape juice isn't right in the head anymore in my opinion

You just have to find what you like. And "buying blind" off the shelf is a frustrating & expensive way to do that Going wine tasting at wineries or wine festivals is alot of fun - I may go to one in Castle Rock this weekend. You get to try *lots* of different wines. Probably most of them you won't like, but you'll start getting a feel for the varieties, wineries, regions, etc. that you do.

And it is somewhat of an aquired taste - I used to really dislike most red wines and preffered very fruity sweet wines - reisling, gewurtz, voigner, etc. But I like alot of reds now also - just not the very oaky & dry reds. Unfortunately very oaky wines have been the "thing" recently, though I think that's changing.

 

[MagicConch]

I know some people who are passionate about wine. They make wine tasting parties fun, but I find wine itself kind of boring.

 

[aircooled]

i like red wine. Australian Shiraz is good

 

[ggnl]

I guess it's an acquired taste. I used to think beer was nasty and now I love it. I'm just too cheap to drink good wine.

 

[PlatinumGold]

i always found Asti Spumante pleasant enough.

I went to a very nice restaraunt, a client of mine paid, it was $300 for each of us. 9 course meal with a different taster wine for each course. some of them we very very good, some were God awful.
