[–] Naive@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (7 children) How does wine taste? I really wanna taste wine before I die. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] awfulawful@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 22 hours ago It varies dramatically for different types of wine, even within the broad categories (red, white, rosé, etc.). Some wines are grapier and will be reminiscent of juice you've had. Others are further away from that. Invariably they will taste different if you've never had wine before, even moreso if you've not had alcohol. If you are interested in wine for the experience, I'd recommend situations where it's well-paired with food. The best wine I've ever drank has been with good food that complemented it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 23 hours ago (1 child) The crazy thing about wine is that it tastes wiiiiiiiiiiildly different based on the grape and process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 1 point 8 hours ago fermentation plays an important role in determining the taste i guess. permalink fedilink source parent [–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 17 hours ago (1 child) They are varied. Red wines have more tannins than white, white wines come in different sweetness, with the less sweet ones described as dry If you wanted to try a red wine I would suggest starting on merlot I wouldn't recommend drinking an entire bottle in a day. Opened wine can be kept in the fridge for a few days permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 1 point 6 hours ago (1 child) How do you know if a wine is expired?

Tbh, it's not the most amazing example of wine, but the ones I tried were not awful either. It would give you a good example how wine tastes like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 child) I wanna drink alcohol bro. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rollin@piefed.social 0 points 20 hours ago personally I don't think any alcoholic beverage tastes good - at least not the traditional ones like wine, beer, spirits. I do still drink and have done since I was a kid because it does make you feel kind of happy and socialising is easier and more enjoyable. (just two or three drinks though - more than that and it starts having negative effects) permalink fedilink source parent [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 point 22 hours ago* (1 child) Pretty terrible, honestly. My review is: "Ugh, this grape juice has gone really bad!" I don't mind the occasional whiskey, and I really like Amaretto ... but IMO, wine is just gross. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 1 point 6 hours ago (1 child) what is amaretto? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 point 3 hours ago Almond flavored liquor, it tastes sweet and nutty permalink fedilink source parent [–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) Tastes a lot like grapes that have gone off, actually. So just imagine that. Maybe you'll live longer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (3 children) Well I don't wanna live longer. I wanna enjoy everything in this life before I die. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Maeve@lemmygrad.ml 1 point 14 hours ago You're not going to "enjoy everything," or even "experience everything," in one lifetime. That said, you should try some things, given an opportunity. And some of the most valuable experiences may well be ones you didn't particularly enjoy. But enjoyment need not make a slave of us, and is also nice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 22 hours ago Here for a good time, not for a long time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 child) Based permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Naive@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 child) Well I don't think so cuz it is forced upon us, rather than our conscious choice.

I understand that you are not the one deciding to restrict yourself in this case. That and the unequal enforcement of the law on the rich are both another thing entirely and complete bullshit.
