Wrong strawman buddy. I'm a pretentious cunt but I love sweet wine. Just not shit quality sweet wine.

You know good sweet wine exists, right? You're just being a contrarian for fun, yes? I mean no one *actually* thinks Manischewitz is ok, right?

Ok, good, just making sure. Pic related it's good sweet wine.

> I have never been able to develop a taste for it, it all just tastes like sour, bitter shit to me. Not even a hint of sweetness and the sour and bitterness drowns out any flavor.

Without knowing exactly what you're drinking, we can only guess. What you're eating also has a great deal of influence on how the wine ends up tasting.

But it sounds like you're drinking a lot of dry tannic reds, cabs or malbecs or something along those lines. Possibly, opened before their prime, especially if you have rich clueless friends.

I would try a good quality sweet German wine, old school rieslings are a great value because plebs think sweet means cheap and right now, and bone dry riesling is all the rage. Big names like Prum (there are several and they're all good), or Donhoff shouldn't be too hard to find even if you live in bumfuck nowhere.

Read up on the sugar levels; they can seem a little confusing but it's not really so bad:

Even a Kabinett from a traditional producer will taste somewhat sweet, compared to what I'm guessing you've tasted. Spatlese and Autlese are (normally) sweeter still. If in doubt, ask someone at the store.

From anywhere good, these won't be available at cheap Kroger-tier prices but in the $20-50 range. No worse than a good bottle of rum.
