I don't like/care for wine

[geraldc]

Everyone I know is getting into wine. Going on wine appreciation courses, building up collections etc.
Wine doesn't interest me at all (other than for cooking, and I use sherry).

Unfortunately wine is now the de facto 'I can't be bothered' gifts, and I now have about 15 bottles (probably all appalling) that I don't know what to do with. Suggestions please.

Send them to me.

Either give them to a family member/friend who will appreciate them, or use them for cooking - e.g. pears poached in red wine with cloves and cinnamon and sugar is jolly nice. As is white wine syllabub.

Good quality wine in cooking makes for very nommy food.

I found that donating them as raffle prizes at school/church/community events was a good route.  Also for unwanted gift-wrapped cosmetics.

Or is it morally wrong to recycle presents, resulting in a period in hell?

[Hot Flatus]

Drink all 15 bottles before work tomorrow.  (Get a taxi in)

You'll have the time of your life

List them someone maybe able to tell you if any are good or bad.

Load them onto the Mundo and pedal around giving them away, making a lot of street people happy ?   Probably not very socially responsible, but you know the recipients would appreciate it...

Alternatively find an old folks home/sheltered accommodation and give them a christmas present ?

I used to think that wine would never hook me until I combined it with my addiction to cheese.

Hmmmmmm...

I think we were all there at one time but it's worth giving it a go as your palatte may/will "learn" to like it over time.

As Zoidburg suggest, get some of your favourite cheese and crack open a decent red.

Repeat several times a week for 20 years and you'll find yourself spending 30 minutes trying to choose a bottle for the evening

What have you got stashed?

I don't "do" wine either.

I like the taste of red wine, in particular Shiraz or Merlot.  But I see this as a "flavour" when compared to other wines much in the same way as blackcurrent squash tastes differently to orange squash or apple squash.

To me wine is :-
 - find good looking bottle in supermarket, pay no more than £5 or £6 at a push.
 - find glass and corkscrew, if it doesn't have a screw cap.
 - drink.

My main problem with wine is that I cannot slow my drinking down from beer pace to wine pace, so a bottle doesn't last long. Not a problem here, but in Hungary I could easily afford more than one bottle at a session and suffered the consequences.
