Yep, personally I think it tastes disgusting, but that's just my opinion

Well, it's grape juice with a kick ...both going in and coming out ...so treat with caution

And where and when was it, that you drank some?

I doubt it that you had real Federweißer.

For real Federweißer is a pleasure to drink!

German lesson for today:

Ueber Geschmack laesst sich nicht streiten

I don't argue.

I only inform you.

You must have come across some bad Federweißer.

Or maybe you only reapeat parrot-like what you have heard other people say. :cool:

Because for some it is "in" do speak badly about the Federweißer - and then they think they appear as "wine connaisseurs".

Rüdesheim, made another attempt in Assmanshausen (when in Rome etc...)

And yes, it was real Federweißer, just because I didn't like like it, doesn't mean I didn't drink the real stuff.

I just stated my personal opinion, I don't like it, but have loads of friends that do.

I have a friend who doesn't like chocolate, which is just shocking, for real chocolate is a pleasure to eat! (again my opinion)

if that were so, I'd be saying I love the stuff

I am far from being a wine connoisseur, I just know what I like and what I don't like

Berwick

Well, I can only encourage you: Try it again!
