Let's just say it as it is... Wine is 'supposedly' an acquired taste but for most, it tastes bitter and not enjoyable for the cost. Tastes shift and luxury items from yesteryear no longer makes a strong statement about affluence to this generation.

  Clearly haven't tasted Eiswein[1]. That said, can be too sweet for my tastes.
  I'm not a wine drinker but when eating with work we usually get the wine menu, and a good wine pairing really can elevate it I find
  But yeah casual drinking is not for me.
