Also, beer, olive oil, and cigars, and every other food people argue over and say “No, just try it, you’ll see I’m right, and you’re wrong.”
I mean flavor, not nutritional quality, so yeah, some “cheese” is not actually cheese, but flavor-wise, it’s all fine. It’s designed to taste good, and people buy it by the truckload.
“Oh, you just haven’t had really good coffee.” No, I have had coffee people claim is “really good”, expensive coffee, brewed “just right”, but again, it’s just different to me, not better. And, no again, I don’t put sugar or anything in it.
“You just don’t have a ‘refined pallet’.” Bullshit elitism. Proven when it comes to wine, at least. People can’t tell the difference between expensive wine and box wine.
Different, not better. Yes, of course, it’s subjective, but the way people argue shows that many don’t actually believe that. And, you’ll be dismissed for not agreeing.
“Box wine” is a gallon of wine in a plastic bag stored in a cardboard box with a spout on it. You usually only see cheap, mass-produced wine sold that way, and you usually only see addicts drink it; most casual drinkers would prefer to save their money for something slightly more enjoyable.
I personally buy it for cooking, seems to work great for that, but I never actually drink it.
Understood, lol. It was called powder or tetrapack around here. It wasn’t as bad as it looks, better than some bottled wine I’ve had in recent years. It might be nostalgia or teenager mind making it up tho. 🫠
Nah you’re right, some bottled wines are total trash, just badly made swill put into a bottle to sell at an upcharge.
