Okay, this is so lame. I don't drink. I hate the taste of alcohol, and while I've had the opportunity to taste different wines before, the alcohol taste is very overpowering to me. I don't enjoy the taste enough to really savor other flavors and what not. To me it tastes pretty much like one thing, and I don't see what the other people telling me "this is so delicious" are talking about.
So, problem being my main character does drink. I wouldn't say he's a connoisseur, but he's had his fair share. Right now, he's on a date and said date has brought a nice, $600 bottle of red wine. I'd love to be able to describe the taste, but I'm not sure how. To me wine is a little bitter, but would a more expensive bottle be more mellow? I can't imagine my guy picking out all the subtleties a trained wine lover would be able to, but I'd love just a word or two that...well, wouldn't look really stupid to everyone reading it who does drink.
