Thread: Am i the only woman on the planet who doesn't like wine??

I've tried to like it, and tried red, rose, white and even champagne and all i can say is yuck!

I am a bourbon kinda chick, cocktails on holiday maybe, and possibly vodka if i'm in a stupid bar that doesn't have any bourbon (believe it or not, they do exist!)

Feel like as an "adult" (when the feck did that happen and how do i make it stop?) i should like stuff like that.

Please tell me there are others who aren't into the whole wine thing...please xx

If you want to like it then it's worth trying different types of wine. I used to think all wine tasted like vinegar but then someone gave me 3 different bottles of red wine as a gift so I decided that each weekend for the following 3 weeks I would try a different bottle to see if it grew on me. First one was horrible and it went down the sink, don't think I managed to finish a glass. The next one - first sip was horrible but another then another and it started to taste different. Leaving wine to breathe definitely makes a difference to the taste. Depending on your tastes you might want to opt for sweeter, easier to drink, versions of wine rather than the dryer stuff- they've got a lot of sugar added but it can develop the taste for it. A rose wine is a good middle ground to try. I've got a slight allergy to white wine so I'm not much use there. Also, watering down your wine with soda water and making a spritzer is an option - it takes the edge off. In saying all that, wine is definitely not a friend to weight loss as it's packed with syns but every now and again is fine.

Thank you for the reply hun!
I'm the same in that it all tastes like vinegar to me too, but then so does cider and lager hehe....not a great palate i don't think

I'm not a wine drinker either. Can drink a glass of rose if it's given to me but yeah..my face still goes funny lol! xx

Eurgh I really hate wine, it's awful. I drink Malibu, cocktails and love a can of fosters in the sunshine x

Sooo glad it's not just me! xx

I'm much more of a spirits girl in general! When I'm out its normally vodka, malibu, archers, midori, jäger or cocktails do like koppaberg, Rekorderlig and cider & black too x

No, you're not the only woman on the planet who doesn't like wine! I'm teetotal and in this alcohol-saturated society, am made to feel a bit of a freak.

To be fair, I only drink a few times a year, generally holidays and special occasions. I can't stand hangovers! Although my dad always said at least 2 pints of water and 2 paracetamol before bed and no hangover. I just forget after I've had a few!

Don't think you should be made to feel like an outsider because you choose not to though, that seems rather unfair

I know! I never go out with work nowadays because thier nights out revolve around alcohol.

I can't stand wine, so you're definitely not alone. One glass is enough to give me a really bad headache, so I don't bother with it! It all tastes like vinegar to me anyhow, lol! I'm a vodka drinker these days, but still like the odd pint of cider or lager and lime xx

just been to a christening this afternoon and I had Malibu and diet coke and 2 bottle of desperados. That was my first drink since 2nd Feb so I don't drink often either. I am out for a friends 30th on 11th May but I probably wont be drinking again for a few months after that. I don't drink at home and very rarely go out with friends for a night out as I hate waking up the next day and realising how much money I have spent! I would much rather use the money for a family meal or day trip xx
