Got any reccomendations? I have tried maybe 3 different kinds in the recent years.

I'm only 14 so drinking wine is already something I shouldn't do. (Aka, I don't remember their names. I just try different ones. )

You have very good pallet then... To me most beer have a distinct taste. I like beer but can't stand wine. Yet I try differen wines knowing I might find one I like.

I despise beer and like Wine.

A good Merlot tastes very nice, also isn't too expensive. If you are willing to spend ~5-7 Eur on a 0,7l bottle of Merlot it won't be as sour as the cheap one and also have a more nuanced flavor. Try it^^

Never had an alcoholic drink nor do I ever plan to. Not sure why the OP is pushing people to drink...

Because of this attitude. You don't want to taste something you've never tasted. Why? How is that any different from a child refusing to eat vegetables?

Every alcoholic drink has a trace of what the last one tasted like. Surprisingly (or maybe not...) this is the alcohol that they put in the drink to make it an alcoholic drink. People don't like that.

From what I've tasted so far in my young life - hell no.Would you really say you could taste any similarities between Whiskey, Vodka, Beer and Prosecco etc. just because they all contain alcohol? Hell.No.

The only one out of those that I have tasted is Beer. But, I've had Champagne and Wine too. I can pick out similarities.

I'm in the exact opposite boat - I don't like beer, like wine, but still try beers in case I come across one I like. And I have come across one or two. 

I think it's far healthier to be open minded than not. Good to see I'm not alone.

A challenge for the real open minded - Smoked Beer. Might sound absolutely strange, but it tastes like liquid smoked ham - just awesome^^

Actually, I'm mormon so it is actually against my religion.  Also, your analogy to a child refusing to eat vegetables is a fallacy of analogy.  There are a lot of healthy reasons for somebody to east vegetables.  However, alcohol on the other hand can have some rather negative effects on your health.  It is not a good analogy.  

There are lots of reasons not to drink alcohol, from negative effects to inhibitions and health.  There aren't that many reasons to not eat vegetables other than not liking the taste...

You ever done XTC?


What's that got to do with anything? That's a) illegal b) unregulated thus dangerous b) can'tbe done in moderation c) only done to get high, not because of flavour etc.

Not being funny, but that is a really immature stance to take on alcohol.

While your b) is incorrect, you misinterpreted my point. I'm not saying alcohol = XTC, but it's absurd someone should "defend" why they don't drink alcohol yet when doing other, arguably less dangerous substances, it's the complete opposite.

Yes, drinking alcohol is the norm. That doesn't mean there is any less risk involved (probably even more).

For the record, I do enjoy alcohol every now and then.

Just do beer. Alcohol very less, just for the occasions.

Actually that's a bad analogy as alcohol is not inherently bad. 

There are no reasons why not to drink alcohol if it is done in moderation. Veg is healthy. Alcohol does not have the same benefits, but that does not mean it has to then be bad. 

Can I ask why Jesus and everyone else back then was allowed to drink but you're not? I don't know much about the mormon religion but I do know the few stories such as water to wine etc.
