To hate all types of wine?

I feel like I am alone on this but is there anyone else here that simply cannot drink wine..?

I can drink other alcoholic drinks but there is something about wine that my body just rejects. It doesn’t matter if it is red, white or bubbly. Cheap as chips or extremely expensive.

I just cannot take a sip without wanting to retch and be sick. It just taste like I’m drinking toxic chemicals akin to bleach and my body won’t let me swallow it. When I do manage to swallow it I feel like my oesophagus is burning.

It is actually a massive handicap at work because I am constantly going to functions where the only drink on offer is wine and I’m always left out, whilst everyone else has a merry time 😅

Anyone else simply hate wine?

Judging from the no responses people like this must be quite rare?

I could have wrote your post word for word. I honestly can’t stand any of it. I forced a small flutes worth of champagne down me at my cousins wedding in the summer and I had vomiting and diarrhoea by the evening. Fun evening going to bed in the hotel and leaving the wedding party.

From ONE small flute. I really feel like I have an allergy to it. Repulsive stuff to me. I don’t drink any other alcohol apart from the odd half a lager in a pub and even that’s rare.

I was with you on this until I discovered Rosé.

Red wine just dries out my mouth and tastes metallic. White wine tastes like lemon or floor cleaner.

I found I can happily drink Rosé that has strawberry or watermelon flavours in the description. (I like Californian White Zinfandels). If you like red fruit ciders, it can be very similar take without the fizziness.

maybe you're allergic to sulphites, most wine has it in.

toastofthetown · 27/10/2022 15:21

Why would you be unreasonable? Most people dislike at least one food or drink.

BiggerBoat1 · 27/10/2022 15:23

My DS can't eat mashed potato. Makes him retch. That is far more unreasonable.

EndlessMagpies · 27/10/2022 15:30

This sounds like some kind of food intolerance to me, and I can't touch wine either. Nor cider, brandy, scotch, vodka, rum etc. They make me feel so rough I have now developed a strong aversion to it all, and I don't miss it now.

Practically the only thing I can drink without feeling immediately ill is gin. So I might have the odd one of those, maybe once or twice a year.

My friend can’t eat hard boiled eggs. Makes him gag.

we all have something. My list is quite long.

Svolvaer · 27/10/2022 15:35

I’m with you - I can’t drink wine because I can’t bear the taste. There are things I don’t particularly like (blackcurrants, aubergines for example) but I can understand why other people love them but wine! I know loads of people love it but I can’t for the life of me understand why 🤷🏻‍♀️

Blanketpolicy · 27/10/2022 15:37

I used to enjoy it, but not now and it gives me awful hangovers that I don't get with spirits.

I don't mind a well chilled Rose, but would prefer a cocktail.

abblie · 27/10/2022 15:52

Omg I thought I was the only one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm a proper beer person I hate wine with a passion

RampantIvy · 27/10/2022 16:01

I get that you don't like wine @ElIie , and it is a PITA that it is often the default option at functions, but the fact that it burns your oesophagus is worrying and warrants a chat with your GP.

ParentallyUnprepared · 27/10/2022 16:18

I really dislike wine. I secretly wonder if it's supposed to taste disgusting but everyone pretends otherwise?

Grin No, I really do enjoy a glass of wine.
tingalayo · 27/10/2022 16:27

I absolutely hate wine, especially red. If I try to drink it my head shakes when I swallow.

WifeMotherWorker · 27/10/2022 16:28

I love wine but my body hates it!!! A single glass of vino makes me drunk, gives me a raging headache and an upset tummy the following day.
I stick to clear spirits.

Burgoo · 27/10/2022 16:28

It all tastes like piss mixed with paint stripper.

Chikapu · 27/10/2022 16:29

Wine tastes revolting to me, I don't drink any alcohol now but when I did I much preferred spirits.
