Should I be worried? Having a glass of cabernet sauvignon & it's like water?

Take a LFT just to check...

What are other things taking like?

LFTs are for no symptoms.

Go online and book a PCR. you will be able to get a slot for first thing in the morning. You will likely have the results back by 9am Saturday.

In the meantime, the household must isolate.

Have a taste/smell of other things to check and book yourself a pcr if you can’t taste them either. Good luck Flowers

Could just be the heat. Or shit wine.

Does everything else taste ok?

Franceadvice · 22/07/2021 23:16

I would try tasting something else just to make sure it's not the wine that's the issue. But if anything else tastes strange, book a PCR test and isolate until you get the result.

Could it be an allergic reaction? Do you have any allergies?

Do you have any teenage DCs who may have refilled your wine with water OP? 🍷 👀

I think she might notice the difference between cabernet sauvignon and water just by looking at it Grin

Try a few different things? I haven't had covid but read here that some things tasted normalish, some suddenly horrible and some gone completely. Good excuse for a covid platter to go with the wine??

Can you taste garlic? I tried tasting a few things and while I could feel.they was bitter or sweet or chemically, it was more sensation than taste.

MoiraNotRuby · 23/07/2021 00:58

I don't think its covid, I think you are the opposite of Jesus and have performed an unmiracle Shock

Are you recently vaccinated? It happened to me after Pfizer - once I could not feel the taste of an onion, another time a beer had no taste at all. But these were isolated incidents. So try again tomorrow, or try different things.
