For many yrs., it was embarrassing that my body could not take much alcohol. After only less than one-third of a glass of wine, I have...a warm sunburn. And wobetide if my haircut is short, my ears are burnin'.

So hence, I never acquired any taste for beer. Instead wine seemed to provide more "taste" for me for the little that I can drink.

I drink wine for special occasions..which works out maybe once a month at the above amount...so our wine supply from the wineries take a long time to deplete.
