You seen this shitposts about "you don't like beer you just wanna be manly so you force yourself to drink it"?

Well that's literally true for wine. People wanna seem cultured so they pretend to like wine. Some just ask a clueless waiter what suits their meal others go as far as to learn arbitrary terms and phrases to show off at wine tastings.

Regardless of their level of involvement one thing remains true; wine is bitter barly alcoholic dog shit people pretend to like because of cultural prestige.

try different kinds of wine, see what you like. Go from there. I'd start by picking up a dozen or so bottles with some friends and have a little tasting. Describe what you taste, have fun with it. These days you can get some very decent wine cheaply. I never liked wine until I started waiting tables at a fancy restaurant. They paid for me to go to this expensive wine class with this guy who was a master of wine. Being able to talk about wine is much simpler than you'd think, eventually you're able to start picking out the different notes in a sip of wine, the kinds of fruits or flavors it evokes, and wa la, you now know about wine.

Gee, is wine, something that has been enjoyed for millenniums, for nu-males? Hmm...

Anyway OP, if you tend to like bitter things, I started out with Chianti, Merlot, and Malbecs. Also dry white wines are pretty refreshing if you're hanging out on the porch in the late afternoon. Specifically (and cheaply), I like Casillero Del Diablo and Josh in terms of brands. They always deliver.

If you tend to like sweet things more, you can look for Rosé and sweet white wines. I don't like them as much, but they serve their purpose. Also dessert wines are great for people that don't stomach bitter very well.

You can always transition from liking one to the other and vice versa. Wine is really fucking awesome when you get into it. It isn't a secret club or anything, like those sommelier documentaries would like you to believe. Anybody can learn to appreciate different types of wine without being a pretentious snob about it. Also, it makes going to restaurants a lot of fun, provided you have some excess money to squander.

I'm nearly thirty, a habitual drunk, a decent cook and fairly open minded when it comes to drink and food.

I'll drink anything from gin to ouzo, or bottom shelf """blended whiskeys" to the warmest PBR.

I cannot stand wine. My mother has been trying to get me to drink it since I was a child. A glass with dinner is fine, I can appreciate a merlot with a good meal.

I cannot drink it in volume, though. There's something about the way it sits in my stomach. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and experimented with abusing cough syrup. It just feels heavy and sloshy.

Last year my brother took me out to a nice Spanish place that did tapas and had a sangria happy hour special. He drank it like water, but after two glasses I couldn't force it down anymore.

What's fucked is that I can drink champagne by the barrel. I love the stuff.

>Wine drunk is really wonderful
I've reached it a few times, mostly when I was younger and didn't drink as much.

The people that say all alcohol is the same are either idiotic or liars. You're right, wine drunk is very relaxing and mellow. Champagne is close, but a bit more uplifting..

Everyone's different. Love wine. Can't stand beer. Some people love beer and can't stand wine.

When I started drinking I tried different drinks, and red wine is the one that appealed the most to my tastebuds. I see beerfags and wonder how they can enjoy some triple-hopped IPA that makes me gag to no end.

For me, I think it's because I drank black coffee and tea a lot before I started drinking (20 years old), so I got used to tannins and deep earthy flavours, like you get in a dry red wine.

I'm no expert but if you want to learn about wine they say you should drink it often and read about it. Liking it isn't really something to learn. You either like something or you don't.

Addendum OP, don't listen to people saying that white or red is objectively better than the other. That's apples and oranges, you drink them on different occassions. It's fine to prefer one or the other, but there's still a time and a place for each. E.g., you wouldn't want to drink a heavy red with fish or salad, whites generally don't pair all too well with heavy foods like steak.

I don't profess to know shit about wines, ok now thats cleared up.

Go with a dry moscato, or a sweet rosé. If you want something less sweet, maybe a nice chardonnay. Ask your friendly neighborhood booze employee but don't let them sucker you into dropping $20 for something you might hate, stick with cheap wines initially.

Try different types. Malbec is good and not too sweet. Cabernet Sauvignon is usually not very good, sweetish and perfumey (unless that appeals to you). There are different grades of Riesling ranging from dry to very very sweet. If you like sweets, try beerenauslese Riesling or gewürztraminer. Chardonnay tastes like foot odor. Rose is for fags, it tastes of perfume and rubbing alcohol. Fruit wines are popular if you're a pussy

If there's one near you, visit a winery and try a few different styles.
You might not like the wine you've drunk because the only stuff you've had is grocery store garbage that has a lot of spices and additives in it to try to mask the fact that it's little better than toilet water.

At least go to a liquor store, and ask for a recommendation for a red and a white wine.

The best wine I've had is some Muscadine wine my aunt made. The only freely available and affordable thing around here that I know I can stand is Arbor Mist.

Rose refers to the color of the wine. Whether or not it's sweet has to do with how they made it. Maybe you think "rose = white zinfandel" which is heresy. If you have never had a 15+ year old rosado gran reserva from lopez de heredia you aren't allowed to have an opinion on rose wines

Also probably the reason you think merlot is "bitter" is that you've been drinking bad chilean merlot. In other threads I've seen people on /ck/ refer to merlot as a "sweet wine", for inexplicable reasons. It's a question of vinification mostly, from south america there's almost always something wrong with the wine just like from california there's almost always something wrong with the people making the wine. Chileans to their credit seem to be less prone to doctoring it up than the argies where the wine basically just tastes like the wine version of sunny D, but still. You're better off looking to lalande de pomerol if you want cheap and good merlot.

The trick to getting bang for buck is knowing who is good and bad at what. Anyone can throw insane amounts of human labor at a project and make good wine in strange places but doing it at a reasonable price that a middle class person can afford is where the magic happens. California is amazing at zinfandel (provided you drink the stuff from the cool hilly areas along the ocean and not the inland garbage like from Lodi or wherever), and bad at pinot noir - yes all of it, all California PN is shit, just stop, it's shit, everyone who disagrees is wrong.

French and germans are pretty much the only people who can be trusted with white wines. Spaniards are good at selling wines meant for aging, with some age already on them, for reasonable prices. Aussies (NZ same shit) and seth efricans are the best at making stuff for cleaning your bicycle chain that comes in a wine shaped bottle with a picture of a critter on it. The Pacific Northwest is good at hyping itself up and delivering mediocrity in a bottle, over and over again.

IRL pretty much everything is an aquired taste and booze in general is about learning how to ignore the taste of the alcohol in your drink so that you can appreciate everything else about it.

Don't pretend there isn't a difference between $7 and $25 wine because you're a cute little penny pincher. Everyone in my family keeps multiple bottles of varying quality, but nobody uses $7 wine for anything but cooking because we know vinegar when we taste it.
