Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
MMO-Champion
So I've had everything from $7 a bottle grocery store stuff to $80+ a bottle limited run stuff you can only by at the winery....but in the end it still tastes like sour grape juice to me.
I find myself wondering how much of the wine industry is just BS marketing coupled with trend versus how much of it is having a real taste for fermented grapes?
For those of you who have a taste for it, how much of this stuff do you need to drink before it tastes like something other than a juice box that was forgotten in the trunk of a car?
Why are wines always paired with foods and not beers or why even pair them at all? I care a heck of a lot more that the steak I'm eating tastes great on its own and not need a specific drink to go with it in order to fully realize the flavor.

I've liked wine most of my adult life. Not all of it though.

it took me a couple months to develop a pallet for it, and a lot of convincing from my ex to get me to start drinking wine.

What is that about not beer being complementing to certain dishes? On the contrary, true beer drinkers do pair specific beers with specific meals and I am sure most good liquor store clerks could advice you on the right beer for the right meal.

I do like wine, but I like the sweeter stuff. Moscato is probably my favorite.

Its the same thing with wine as with coffee & cigarettes. It takes a while to grow fond of it, and afterwards you use it too much.
Its nice socially, but way too easy to start consuming more. This can be a good or bad thing depending on yourself

It took me a bit to get used to the taste, but I've enjoyed wine since I was 16 or 17.

Haven't had much, but the couple times I had it I got a headache from just a couple glasses and didn't care much for the taste so I just avoid it.

Granted I grew up with watered-down wine at Church during Communion, I too find wine to be outstanding. Originally Posted by Acewipe

Sharing a bottle of wine with a good friend or a girl is something I enjoy, it doesnt matter if its cheap or expensive wine, at home or at a restaurant, doesnt matter, theres just something about wine. Reminds me its been too long since I had a good glass.

Well, I basically drink anything, beer, whiskey, wine, except Rosé, that's a little too much of a fairy drink to me. You just need to ask for some advice and cook a nice meal to make it go along with. (The grocery store I work at gives wine advice, really great!)
