i hate the taste of wine, it tastes like crap to me!!! it is so bitter and i cant even describe how bad it tastes to me. i dont know how so many people can stand wine. i have tried to drink wine, just so i wouldnt feel left out lol. but it is too yucky for me. i can only take a sip before i gag. there was this one time when my dad had bought a big bottle of wine, forgot about it and left it stored for about 4 years. when he found it all those years later found it he drank it as if it was the day he bought it! gross! he said it was 'exquisite'. i cant drink wine. its too bad-tasting for me. i prefer a nice cold beer any day though :) lol.

I think it is an aquired taste. You tastebuds change as you get older so perhaps in a few years you will like it. I used to hate wine and never ever drink it but now I like a good red wine! And it's good for you (in moderation of course!)

I've been drinking wine since I was 16 (European parents). I'm 21 now and it still tastes somewhat harsh to me, but I get cravings. I think I'm more into the ritual of uncorking a bottle, pouring a glass, swirling it around and enjoying the color and scent more than the flavor.
It does depend on the wine though, because I really love a few of them (snoqualmie chenin blanc, coppolla pinot noir and shiraz, clos du bois chardonnay). I don't know if I have specific tastes or what. I think sometimes I like the harshness, kind of like how sometimes you want to taste the bite of a hard alcohol.
On the other hand, my brother and I both tried beer when we were about 6. He HATED it and I loved it. Now he's 27 and we both like it. Don't know! Taste is a funny thing.

Actually, taste buds of each human are unique. But still, they all have the same function. Still, as each person is different, so is their sensation of taste. There is no significant difference when it comes to receiving signals from your taste buds to your brain, all people would receive almost the exact same signals in their brain. What is different is how the brain processes that information, and that depends on character. To take the example of wine, the taste of wine is almost completely the same to all people. But, that taste may seem quite good to someone, and it may be quite disgusting to someone else, although their brain receives the same information from the taste buds. The taste is the same, the only thing different is how you perceive that taste to suit you

Wine is definitely an acquired taste. Start by drinking sweet white wine,such as Premiere Cotes de Bordeaux, then move on to medium-sweet, like Nierstein, then try a fruity Riesling. Eventually you will be ready to try a red - Beaujolais is a light bodied red. Soon you'll be on the Cotes du Rhone and the big wines.

I don't think so . . . I used to really hate wine as well. Then I started to drink Asti, which is sweet and lovely and has a low alcohol content - it's like drinking lemonade. Once I could drink it, I tried rose, like white grenache or white zinfandel, which is still quite sweet and palatable. Once I could drink it happily I moved on to white wine. There were still some I did not like, but sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio etc could be very nice, and eventually could happily drink those as well. Then I finally moved on to red wine, which I never imagined I could like. Now I can happily drink red. I found that having a glass of red with something like a nice steak really cracked it for me. I still find it easier to drink wine when I have something I can munch with it. I really enjoy Yellowtail's merlot which is bursting with fruit flavours, but two years ago I couldn't have made it through a glass of it.
The same thing has happened for other things I haven't liked the taste of before. I always used to eat my steak well done and couldn't bear the thought eating it any other way. Now I can't bear the thought of a tough, dry, well done steak - it has to be at least medium. I now enjoy pate in moderation, and hope, in the future, to learn to like fish.

It is certainly true that different parts of our tongue contain different taste buds that pick up the flavor of foods, sour, sweet, etc... etc... and of course, some people have different areas more developed than others. Nothing you can do about it. I don't like wine wither, I can take it if it's mixed with some club soda and over ice and the fruitier the better. Doesn't make me a bad person. It's OK not to drink it.

Ah, its an acquired taste.
I use to think it was vile as a child (mixed with water) but now I love the stuff.
Try Ice wine. I have friends who hate wine and love that.
Personally, I can tolerate only two types of beers (corona and Lion's blonde)... tastes differ

My eye sight is enormously undesirable precise now. Im going for style buds. Sight is a lot extra to me then style as no longer having the flexibility to ascertain ok is something i've got had to stay with all my existence. I take blurry imaginative and prescient over no longer something any day.

No, it is a taste you cultivate. You have obviously drunk the wrong kind of wine.

Most of them taste disgusting and I think people just pretend to like them to make themselves look good.
