Wine tastes like a toxic slew of bitter poison. i hate it

I loathe wine. Friends give me wine gifts. Yuck. Worse, they insist I try it. I've not said a word that it all tastes like shit! Every bottle, no matter the quality, is an offensive taste to me. Too bitter, too rancid, too toxic, too nauseating.

Either I'm completely right that wine tastes like shit, and people just agree that it's good because everybody else says so, or I'm not normal.

    I agree to an extent. Sweeter wines like moscato can be alright. There's something called I think Vino that's pretty good. 5.97 at Walmart. It's like a champagne-wine. But most alcohol doesn't taste good to be honest. Beer you just get used to and hard liquor doesn't taste great (but gets you drunk!). I like the thought of wine and it always looks cool but you're kind of right. But your summary also describes a lot of life. Like art, a lot of it just isn't that good. Or work. Work tends to suck but we get paid so we can live. So on and so forth

    I always thought that wine, vodka, and tequila tasted like cough medicine. The smell is like perfume too, so unappealing to put inside of you. I'd much rather have something like apple cider.

    Typically , all brewed wine has toxic sodium metabisulfite added to it to kill bacteria and prevent spoilage because the brewmaster was unable to keep his ferment alive long enough to reach 14 percent alcohol by volume. Anything less than 14 percent spoils without added poison. I have to brew my own wine and i do the entire process without preservatives. i have never had a bootle open or closed go bad. and im actually cooking with a jug that has been open two years now. i find it useful at the time of drinking to dilute my wine 50/50 with water to smooth out the bite of the alcohol and the extra water eliminates the dehydration effect of wine. when i get a "Locked " fermentation i use my secretes to feed the yeast what is missing to restart fermentation and take it to 14 percent.

      You're trying to say vintner, not brewmaster. You seriously add 50% water to your wine? Why wouldn't you just have a glass of water alongside your glass of wine like a human? Do you also douse a piece of prime beef in ketchup?

        Not ketchup, but horseradish, or gravy.

        i said brewmaster for a reason and it was to highlight failure not success. i think it has had the desired effect on you.

      That's why I drink only Two Buck Chuck. He takes the worry out of all the added crapola. I believe in him exclusively.

    it's an acquired taste, literally. Maybe your taste buds haven't matured properly yet. Believe it or not some people actually do like the taste of wine, just like some people like chocolate and don't like vanilla. just keep tasting different wines and one day you might find one you like, if you dont then thats okay.

    wine IS a toxic slew of poison, so it tasting like that to you isn't really abnormal.

    I love wine :3 but if you don't just tell them so you won't have to keep bunch of useless bottles. Or pass the present onto someone else

    Couldn't disagree with you more. I'm having a glass of my father's homemade cherry wine right now, and it tastes just fine thanks :)

    I'm genuinely saddened your palate is in such a disarray. Atleast you're a cheap date. Try the water and the tofu.

      PROTIP: Don't drink the bong water.

    • I will take a couple shots of tequila. :-) No more than that really. I do drinks like the Italians take their coffee.

      Tequila stings, kicking up a fire. I love that. Wine is a boring.

        Interesting. Well most people find tequila's flavors very simple when compared to mezcal. Wine is generally regarded, and scientifically proven, to host many more flavor compounds. Coffee is similar in its complexity. But you do you, wine is often an acquired taste but if it is disgusting to you I'm not going to change yoir mind.

    Wine - at least, "adult" wines - are an acquired taste that comes with age and sophistication. The taster's - not the wine's. Someday maybe you'll mature and acquire that taste.
