Hmm... taste described as freshly crushed black fruit and hints of
vanilla yogurt. Nuff said.

Sometimes they read like the recipe for a fruit salad!
I've seen comparisons mentioning "black raspberry" and wonder if that is
so different to the red raspberry in others, similarly for black cherry
versus red and "green apple' and "yellow plum".
"Notes of cola" - well I've never drunk a coke or pepsi in my life and
I've never smoked so "notes of tobacco leaf" are also out.

Sounds like it would be terribly sweet. I don't drink sweet wines. Or
red wines.

I don't really drink any wine as a rule. Just don't care much for it.

I like dry white wines. For red, Merlot is pretty good.
To cook with, any works well for me.
To drink and maybe mix, I buy the cheap stuff.
Even if it's bad, it all tastes good after a couple of drinks.
I'm not picky.

I never spend any of MY money at MalWart, ever!! If YOU do, then YOU are part of the problem!!

I buy most of my wine from any of several online wine merchants. Nothing like getting an entire case of different reds delivered to my door! I use it mostly for cooking, but it's nice to have a case in the basement to grab a bottle or two to take to festivities!

I don't care much for wines of any kind either... the only wine I buy
is a bottle of bubbly to bring in a new year, only because it's
traditional. I prefer hard liquor, usually vodka or gin cocktails.
For cooking I use beer, I think wine ruins a good piece of meat, I
braise beef roasts in beer/ale often, I think a pork shoulder is
wonderful braised in dark beer, country style ribs too... now I'm in
the mood for pot roast cooked in beer but it'll have to wait for
cooler weather. Even beer braised tube steak is good, kielbasa too.

[my experience] Trader Joe's has the best inexpensive wine
for $2.50

Like you, I use beer or stock in place of wine. I like a cocktail with hard
liquor as well, and also an occasional Guinness. I was reading a book not
long ago where the character told someone that "there are two kinds of
people in the world, wine drinkers and beer drinkers, in other words
assholes or beer drinkers." I had to laugh, though I don't agree with it.

All wines should be tasted blindly. My guess is that most people taste
wine with their eyes i.e., by reading the label.

I don't drink alcohol because I'm allergic to the stuff. I can certainly
taste wine though in order to make real what I've heard about the taste
of wines. The last wine I tasted was pretty good, sweet and grapey -
like the stuff I had when I was in my early twenties. The other people
at the table didn't think much of it - too cheap.

By the price... like the emporer's new clothes, they're ascared to say
a high priced wine is lousy. I've always maintained and still do that
no wine on the planet is worth more than a buck a glass, it's all
fermented grape juice... worth no more than a sour pickle or a cup of
kraut. The most costly part of a bottle of ANY wine is its bottle,
cork, label, transportation, and advertizing... the wine itself has no
real intrinsic value, no more value than rotting fruit. The different
wine flavors have no more value over each other than the different
flavors of jellybeans.... should grape jellybeans cost more than
orange jellybeans?

Too cheap, precisely my point... see my recent post on this topic.

Taste varies. I rarely drink beer (except with pizza), but we have wine
two or three times a week. I don't pay more than $15 a bottle as there
are plenty of wines for that or less.

I like a G & T or a bourbon on occasion. Very rare that I ever have
more than one drink in a day.

That sounds about right. Blind taste tests are a scary thing for wine connoisseurs because the price of wine has little to do with the taste and it make them look like fools. Now please excuse me, I have to go kill myself.

LOL! For sure. "Has a nice fruity taste with a hint of mischief."
Then it turns out to be Boone's Farm Strawberry wine. lol

Back in the mid 1970's I hosted a New Years Eve party.
We were all drinking the cheap champagne - like $3 a bottle.
Then our richie-rich friend showed up with a $100 bottle of
Dom Perignon champagne swiped from his dad's wine cellar.
We all got to taste and 100% agreed that the cheap stuff
tasted better. Go figure.

I've done blind taste tests twice here on my own.
Once was root beer. I bought 5 kinds and picked "Dad's Root Beer"
as the winner. A&W came in second.

Then I did one between worcestershire sauce. L&P and Frenchs.
I was surprised that the French's won. The L&P had a very weird
sweet taste compared to the French's more salty taste.
This was about 2 years ago. I think L&P has changed their recipe.
I did read a mention about that once. It also mentioned that
they sell different versions in the USA vs the UK.
Anyway, I always bought L&P until I did that taste test.
Now I just buy Everyday essential generic. You know it's
made by one of those companies. My guess is French's

I know a teetotaller who has outspoken opinions about wines, based on
sniff tests. Very irritating. Shut up and drink your tea!

In these taste tests, ignorance is bliss. It strips away all expectations and marketing hype. I'll have to try Dad's Root Beer but they may not sell that one here.

Have you ever noticed that most all tasting experts are senior
citizens... humans never have more taste buds than at birth (they run
half way down the esophagus) which they immediately begin to lose
until by age 30 half are gone and by age fifty 75% are gone... and teh
sense of smell deteriorates even more rapidly. A fifty year old blind
taste testing wine couldn't tell a CA Zin from a Mogan David Concord.
Taste testing is purely a marketing ploy... better than 50% of all
people on the planet are afflicted with TIAD. Four legged critters
have a far better sense of taste and smell... I bought a 36 can case
of Fancy Feast Seafood Classic yesterday, none of my cats indoor or
outdoor would eat any, they all took a whiff and walked away looking
very annoyed... I tried all three flavors with the same results. It
all looked like any other and smelled the same, no, I didn't taste
any. I phoned Purina to complain, they appologized and will be
sending me a check for $19.99.

No. I never noticed that all the tasting experts are senior citizens. I
have a good friend in the wine business and has been into wine in a big
way since he was in his 20s.

You might not be able to tell the difference, but many people can.

I was given a bottle of Dom P as a gift. Nice, but I'd not spend a
quarter of that for it.

I do tasting of things like that at times too. Price is definitely
not the deciding factor for what we like. Price depends on where you
buy things too. We were in a fancy shop near us and they had a
balsamic vinegar for $20 a bottle. I did not want to spend tat for
something I had no idea of the taste. Later that day I bought the
same exact bottle at the supermarket for $4.99.
