I wasn't well in January, tested negative for Covid and didn't feel like drinking for a long time. But when I went back to my favourite wines they all tasted the same - like vinegar.

Over the past year it’s happened more often. This past Winter it happened with a celebratory bottle of Solaia, which really upset me (both for not enjoying such a great wine and the amount of money I threw away). Wish I knew why it happens and could fix it somehow. Hopefully someone has an answer, sees this blog, and let’s us know.

I went with good wines I knew that I liked, and I stayed with them for several days.

In these cases, taste and smell senses are both working fine, the wine just tastes bad. I am going through this right now too - hence why I'm on this page. I've been drinking my "go to" pinot grigio for years and last night and today, it just tastes bad. Two separate bottles, two separate days.

Lately red wines that I would normally enjoy have been tasting sour/tart. For this reason, I have been drinking beer almost exclusively. At least a beer habit is easier on the wallet. Still, I cannot put my finger on why even premium reds are hitting my palate in such a disagreeable way.

Don't drink any wine for, say, three days. Since writing this post I had a recurrence of an Everything Tastes Bad day with different atmospheric conditions.
