How does wine taste? I really wanna taste wine before I die.

    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.

    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

    If you haven't tried it because you have to avoid alcohol, good news - alcohol free wine is hitting the market.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Tastes a lot like grapes that have gone off, actually. So just imagine that. Maybe you'll live longer.

    Well I don't wanna live longer. I wanna enjoy everything in this life before I die.

    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.

    Well I don't think so cuz it is forced upon us, rather than our conscious choice. For rich, there is no problem though. They drink and party. These laws are implemented only on poor and middle class.

  • No I just meant I think that wanting to experience life rather than needlessly restricting yourself of everything "unhealthy" to try and gain another day without these experiences is a good philosophy.

    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.

    Hope you get the opportunity to enjoy more out of life, buddy.
