I’ve mucked out many a pig sty. Consider your pain felt.

I think I've swallowed more shit than wine moving muck from the pigs to the corn.

I enjoy wine, but can't consume much without feeling horrendously intoxicated. The fun promptly begins to end if I drink more than about 6 ounces.
If I don't find time to cook with the remainder within a few days, nice bottles just get wasted.

My taste for wine was destroyed by drinking super cheap rotgut a few times when I was young. I really don't think I have ever had a taste of a decent wine.

LOL, can't help myself. What makes a wine cheap? If I wanted to sell wine for the price of a packet of koolaid* - what should that wine taste like?
What are you willing to put up with?
*approx $3.50 per 750ml wholesale.

I did not say that you should not drink it.
The best think is: Drink it and talk about it.

It may predate you but we used to drink Boone's Farm wines with crazy names and flavors like Strawberry Hill. If you could dig a few pennies out of the couch or the car seat and had a dollar you could get a whole bottle. You needed more money to treat yourself for the hangover the next day - those headaches were epic!
Maybe their stuff is better now - if it's still available - but that was some nasty stuff back in the 70s.
