I don't mind splitting the bill evenly
except when it comes to wine. I can't stand the stuff, so when people order several bottles for the table and I've had to buy my own drinks on top of that anyway I do begrudge it adding another £20 to my bill.

How can you not like wine?
That's like saying you don't like cheese, there's a massive difference in flavours.

people who say they don't like wine haven't had enough of the good stuff
like a nice chablis, or chateauneuf du pape

Or, right,
they just don't like wine. Good wine is tolerable rather than awful, but I'd still rather drink something else.

I refuse to believe it

this is true
Every wine I have tried, from the cheap Blossom Hill stuff that my friends drink to the £40 bottles my parents have, I just don't like wine. It just tastes like bitter grape juice to me.

It's kind of patronising to tell me that I only don't like it because I haven't had expensive enough stuff. I love whiskey, but I've had some expensive single malts that are foul.

Whiskey tastes like mud on fire.

this is true

I wasn't serious about the expensive wine thing
it's not for everyone.

I can't stand whisky, and wouldn't be able to tell if one was good or bad to be honest.

Closest I've come to enjoying some is Laphroaig when I was already hammered.

yeah but the base flavour
is still wine.
