I had some wine during thanksgiving a couple of years ago
tasted like stuff or the grape juice, can't remember
What sort of wine?
Red, White, Rosé...?
I'm not keen on most wines, and I'd definitely go for a rosé over red or white. Red and White can just be really dry or strong on the throat, whereas rosé is often sweeter and easier to drink. I quite like Lambrusco, but it's not a very expensive wine (not that it needs to be to be good).
Also, champagne is a bearable white wine, but it's vastly overrated.
I'm not really keen on spirits and the likes. I've not tried a great deal of them though, mainly because I don't drink with the intention of getting drunk, and most of the time that these come up it's in order to get drunk.
Cider is quite pleasant, as it's often sweet without being too strong. Try local ones too when in rural places as you can get some really delicious drinks.
Lager is alright, but it can have a bitter taste. You're definitely drinking for the feeling of the alcohol than the flavour.
I've only tried one, but (smooth) bitter (Tetley's Smooth Flow) is quite a nice drink, which I might consider having as my usual (although I do think I prefer ciders to it).
I tried Mead recently, and this is also very sweet and obviously tastes of honey, but it's quite a high volume alcohol, so it's certainly got a very warming feeling on your throat and chest.
roostertails can be the absolute nicest drinks however, particularly because they use different flavour juices and soft drinks to take away the strong taste from the alcohols used in them.
Also, you can learn to enjoy the flavours of different roostertails without alcohol, as there are usually virgin varieties for a lot of them. Alcohol will change up the flavour a bit, but sometimes it's just nice to know you have something that you know you like.
Snowball is one of my favourite roostertails, being quite basic. It's Advocaat (an egg/brandy based drink) and lemonade in equal parts, and it lovely. It tastes not unlike an ice-cream float.
