When did you develop a taste for wine, /int/?

Dad makes it, other people in the family do as well, always liked although there's wine and wine.
Also got shitfaced pretty badly with it, it's very nasty.

homemade wine is very harsh (especially red wine), and it tends to have lot of alcohol. I've drank a couple of times, regretting it at some point (the first time I've tried, I got shitfaced and I don't remember much of what happened)

Here we call it vinho carrascão, although I'm aware it has other names around the country and more so abroad.

Dad makes it with a variety of different ones, I told him to try and maybe select some but he is used to it. Also fairly old ones.
And he makes Moscato as well.

My dad's uncle on the other hand I'm fairly sure uses only a type for red wine, I quite like it but can't remember the name of it.

>wine <...> mans drink
Antonio, plz.
Personally I dislile the taste so I don't drink it.

When I started cooking with it?

I don't use it as an alcoholic drink though. It's a waste of time. Why drink wine when you can drink something better?

Alcohol is a carcinogen at even small amounts

But, it reduces the risk of heart disease

Odd, isn't it?

Wine country

>>65843116
we have wine so we never got into making half-decent beer (cheap wine is good enough and most people take that). Traditionaly we only have laggers which certainly doesn't help.
More recently there have been some new, non-lagger stuff but it is produced at very small scale and it's not cheap enough to be widespread anyway.

regardless, you should avoid beer in portugal

>>65843485
I did. I really like vinho verde but Portuguese here said it's low quality shit for tourists.

Had 2 bottles of this Chilean sangiovese last night. Puked my guts out this morning. Chile = gutrot in the wine world.

Agreed. That's what I was implying when I said "there are better things to drink"

>>65841051
I can't drink wine despite many attempts. No matter the type, colour, ingredients, origins, or cost, it always just tastes like drinking vinegar to me.

Closest thing to palatable I have ever had is chilled east coast blueberry wine but I still wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

Here's the study

>>65843793
>So it's home-brew? How is it compared to store bought stuff?
yup, done quite traditionally as well, grapes don't even have a single insecticide or anything(which sometimes is a pain in the ass though)

people seem to like it since dad gives some of it away in my village, I kinda like it as well although it's pretty strong

as for store brought stuff, not sure, the cheap shit here it's at best used for cooking, if you buy some wine you get at least some proper ones from big-ish producers, although judging by the prices dad thinks there's got to be some chemical shit to make it less watery

>>65843547
>I really like vinho verde
that's unexpected, foreigners tend to like maduro (normal ageing) more.

>Portuguese here said it's low quality shit for tourists.
that may or may not be true, but most likely is actual lack of prespective: we have very good wine, a decent wine is relatively cheap as a result. On the other hand, tourists generaly pay a lot more for it if they have it in tourism-dominated areas.

>>65844061
By that logic one should drink gasoline on a daily basis and smoke a pack a day

>>65843684
Yeah, I don't know how much people make shit up, but I've heard wine described in ways completely unfamiliar to me. Anyone naming more than half a dozen "notes" from a wine is probably full of shit. I usually only taste one or two.

Also, everyone's palate is different, either due to diet or due to genetics.

I couldn't drink black coffee back when I ate a lot of sugar/sweets. Now I drink black coffee every morning it tastes alright.

Also, alcohol is literal poison, and some people are more sensitive to it. Wine is both fermented and alcoholic, which a lot of people aren't accustomed to, so fermented alcoholic fruit juice is a wildly unpalatable combination.

>>65844101
Yeah, they put gelatine and colourings in a lot of store-bought wines. It's a commercial product in the age of mass-production. They put shit in it to make it more marketable to the average consumer, and shift more units.

It's Aztlán, canuck. And the US is in way less danger of becoming Aztlán than Canada is of becoming a Chinese colony. Illegal Mexicans generally don't own land.

I tried many types of wine and honestly I don't see myself drinking it often. Depending on the situation I prefer beer or vodka. Although I could drink a some wine on a date or something.

>>65846627
I'm drinking wine now but I wish I had vodka...

That's probably one of the best things about these guys.

>>65846095
>Illegal Mexicans generally don't own land.
They tend to land though (lawns, fields, houses). That's the first step to acquiring land. Mexican-Americans understand the lay of the land better than any other Americans.

I only like white wines ,Alsatian one especially.

Excellent choice in vodka. But what is the meat-looking dish in the middle? Looks like some kind of pork

>>65841051
Had my first glass at a dinner party a couple months back. It was great, though i probably should've looked at how strong it was.

>>65841051
Must've had my first sips and symbolic barely filled glasses when I was six, really not learning how to appreciate wine from family is the reason so many Americans turn into binge til wasted drinkers.

always liked to pace myself with a wee glass of red wine every now and then

but i don't get drunk off the shit

nothing worse than yakking up wine

>>65841051
Sorry, I'm not gay

So, has anyone tried ice wine? I've heard it's great but I never got a chance to taste it. I think only Canadians and Germans make it.

>>65854201
Tried once a Riesling based eiswein from Austria I think...peculiar flavour, good with desserts or cookies at the end of the meal...honestly sweetish wines aren't my fav though...

Thinking on buying a bottle, maybe a Merlot
