There are several reasons that wine might be more unpleasant to you when you try it. n Your taste buds become tired. If you consume more wines, the taste buds are more sensitive to taste. This is the reason it’s advised for you to clean your palate between wine with water and eating a piece of bread. n The wine starts to oxidize. The wine begins to deteriorate (react by absorbing oxygen) when opened. The flavors can then start to diminish or become unpleasant. To prevent oxidation from occurring, ensure that your wine is kept in a sealed, airtight container and keep it in a dark, excellent location. n The wine has been corked. Cork taint is a typical wine defect from a chemical substance called TCA. TCA gives the wine the flavor of moldy and musty. If you suspect your wine has been corked, consider decanting it to eliminate the TCA. n The wine might not be to be enjoyed by everyone. Different people do not want the same tastes in wine. If you do not like the flavor of a specific wine, it’s not for you. It’s not necessary to make yourself consume it. n
