What the hell is wrong with people? Wine is not supposed to taste like black currants, or cherries, or spices, or any of that . Its wine. Its fermented grapes. If you want fruit juice with alcohol, get some sangria.

Wine culture being fairly new to the United States it has quickly been taken over by companies wanting to target the 25+ female crowd.
With no wine culture it's only normal to expect something like this and all the fruity wines. |

| The problem with wine culture in the U.S. is that outside of Northern California, there really isn't a substantial wine culture in this country. Sure, every big city has fine wine bars, but the fact of the matter is that for the majority of Americans, wine is not a beverage of choice - and especially not a hobby. |

Why not? There are thousands of different wines anyway, there's always room for more :D |

| Yes, but it doesnt help when you have companies advertising wines with "a boquet of black currant, elderberry and other bull" and fronting like they won all these awards :stongue: |

| I don't understand the obsession with Bud and Miller either. Tasteless beers if you ask me. |

Its generic, its easy to drink, refreshing since it tastes like water, and most importantly it doesnt you up nearly as fast as a good beer.
Thats why. |

But... Clovis, that's the beauty of contemporary American culture: you can have coffee without cafeine, milk without lactosis, lemon-flavoured strawberry juice, tofu that tastes like meat and meat that tastes like tofu, microwave sets that play dvd and dvd players that cook your food! |
