    What kinds of wine do you like?

    I am a solid red gal. I dislike white but will drink it for toasts, etc, or if I really wanted to get a little buzz and there was nothing else.

    Also, this accurately describes me when I order wine at a restaurant:


    There was a damn cheap brand in California that I really loved called Black Swan, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else! I just bought a brand called Lucky Duck with a selection from Australia (close enough, right), and I was worried it would be a little too sweet at first, but it's quite lovely!

    I do not like fruity wines. Not at all. Gross.

    What kind of wine do you like?

    I prefer white- something on the drier side- Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, sometimes Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling is pushing it on the sweet side- it just depends on the brand.

    Moscato is an -absolute- hell to the mf-ing no. It's like drinking straight up sugar. I also do not like White Zin, Red Rose, and Burgundy, although the last 2 are used in my ex's recipe for sangria.

    Very cliche, but I like Yellow Tail, Sutter Home, and occasionally I'll drink Barefoot. Black Opal is another decent one. For a long while, I drank Hardy's (I think that's what it's called).. My fav liquor store had it in their 1/2 off bin, so it was only $5 for a 750 mL bottle.

    The only kind of wine that I've found I like is Chardonnay. I prefer white to red but I dislike both.

    I am pretty much a Red Wine guy, though I don't have refined taste and I'm probably more on the cheap side for this but I wouldn't mind trying out more expensive brands.

    I didn't enjoy wine at all until somebody gave me white mixed with juice, which was really nice. I also don't mind sangria. Wine on its own though is really not my jam; much more into spirits.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I used to mix chardonnay with sprite when I was pregnant. That way I could stretch it out to 4 glasses a week instead of just having 2.

    I dislike wine. I'll drink it at a fancy party if theres nothing else but the only wine I've liked was a light red one which tasted more like grape juice to the point where I think it was just 50% wine 50% grape juice.

    Beer when Im happy, Whiskey when Im not.

    I'm definitely a white man, in both wine and in skin colour. There aren't many Chardonnays that I like. Pinot Grigio is my preference (though there is the occasional awful one) along with Sauvignon Blanc. I've had a few nice Rieslings in my time too.

    I'm not a big fan of red wine unless it's part of a huge jug of Sangria.

    I will drink all wines. Some of them taste better than others, but I will happily drink a glass if I am offered.

    My flatmate and I used to go to the corner shop and pick up 3 bottles of wine for £10. They were bad quality wine, but I think it has allowed my taste to become accustomed to wine, which was something I didn't particularly enjoy much before this.

    I usually go for Cabernet. I used to really like Chardonnay but it might be too sweet for my tastes now.

    I enjoy both red and white, but I prefer white. There's an American vineyard called Fetzer Valley that makes a variety of different Earth-friendly wines. Their stuff is great, as well as affordable.

    Every single time I see this thread I assume we're talking about a Linux program and I get confused

    Anyways I don't like wine (the drink). I do like Wine (the program) because it lets me play games.

    Wine's fineries are lost on me. I just drink lots of it until the taste is numbed.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.
