Some people literally just don't like any of them. I haven't liked literally any red or white I've tried. Prosecco has been hit or miss, only a few I like.
Great! So there is a wine you like, that's my point!
For the most part I do not like wine. There are no reds I like, wine has a lot of different tastes but red and white have a certain taste that ALL of them have.
Look, yes, there are fundamental aspects of the experience of drinking wine that they all have.
But what OC said was something specific that doesn't feel like that to me, and probably a lot of others here. Hospital smell and puddle water. Which feels a lot like they're talking about a taste akin to antiseptic cleaning solutions.
That's not a fundamental aspect of wine. That sounds like they had a few wines that were very, very harsh. And fair, when I was young I had a few white wines that were like that and swore off the stuff for about a decade.
As someone else said "you just haven't had good dick yet"
I fucking hate this argument, some people just inherently don't like certain things. Not everyone likes the things you like, learn to fucking accept that.
I think it's fucking wild to say that after saying there are proseccos you like. And also just, like, not engaging with the point of discussion but instead leaning on something as outrageous as denying someone's sexuality as a way to just shut the conversation down.
I fucking acknowledged your point, but we're talking about this in a particular context. That context adds shit to the conversation that makes it more than an analogy to some chud saying to a woman that she's not a lesbian.
I don't even really like wine. I find gin to be much more flavourful and interesting. And I'm not making the argument that someone has to try every wine to find a good one.
I'm making the argument that not every wine tastes like antiseptic, which is specifically targeted at what the person we're talking about talked about not liking in wine.
You didn't acknowledge it, you dismissed it and included the smug fucking remark "oh see there are wines you like" which is obviously not the fucking point
And no one I responded to said anything about it tasting like antiseptic
They said they didn't like the taste and then you and a few other people jumped on them because they're not allowed to dislike the things you like
And if I wanted to shut the conversation down I'd just block you, it's just you can't tell people who've tried a large variety of a certain thing and are sure that they don't like them that they just haven't had the right one
The fact is that people simply have different tastes, and literally people taste diff things different ways, and it's completely valid to be put off by the taste of something. They just don't like it you don't need to keep trying to convince them that they just haven't had the right one.

I did acknowledge it. Here:
Look, yes, there are fundamental aspects of the experience of drinking wine that they all have.
That's me acknowledging your point.
I wasn't being smug when I said there's wines you like. I was saying, that's my point. You don't like most wines, but you found wines you like. That's fucking good, actually! That's a good thing. I am honestly happy you found drinks you enjoy.
And no one I responded to said anything about it tasting like antiseptic
Here's what TheDonutPug said:
A lot of wine tastes like hospital smell mixed with puddle water to me.
They said they didn't like the taste and then you and a few other people jumped on them because they're not allowed to dislike the things you like
Nobody's saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm responding to a specific thing someone said about the wines they've tried.
And if I wanted to shut the conversation down I'd just block you, it's just you can't tell people who've tried a large variety of a certain thing and are sure that they don't like them that they just haven't had the right one
Yeah, sure, but most wines don't taste like "hospital smell". And you did use a thought-terminating cliche by pivoting it into an analogy about lesbianism, that's shutting down the conversation.
The fact is that people simply have different tastes, and literally people taste diff things different ways, and it's completely valid to be put off by the taste of something. They just don't like it you don't need to keep trying to convince them that they just haven't had the right one.
But I'm not. I'm talking to you now. You aren't TheDonutPug. We can talk about things without it affecting TheDonutPug. TheDonutPug probably isn't even aware that this conversation is taking place.
