My sister (who’s not very bright) told me that different wines don’t really have different flavors but that they all taste the same, and that people who claim otherwise are just snobs trying to sound interesting.
This is the same person who told me that sangría is non alcoholic due to the amount of fruit that’s in it.
She should look into becoming a sommelier, she’s letting all that hidden knowledge go to waste.
Honestly, she might have the same thing I do. I don’t know if it’s got a name or anything, but absolutely all red wine tastes like balsamic vinegar to me, almost indistinguishably so, even when I’m sharing it with someone who’s talking about how this one is “fruity” or whatever.
I went through a short phase of thinking I was being pranked. So I’m with your sister on this one, minus the sangria bit lol.

Maybe she lost her taste buds during covid
As the anti vaxxer that she is, it would make perfect sense, actually.
A large part of wine tasting is bullshit, but different styles are definitely different.
Agree. I hate Malbec and i can tell the difference between it and say, a Pinot noir (my favorite) or a Zweigelt (my second favorite)
